What is your favorite Halloween movie? / LJWorld.com

Asked at Massachusetts Street on October 31, 2006

“‘The Nightmare Before Christmas.’ I think it’s the soundtrack and general ambiance of the film.”

— Lance Lappin, residential manager, Lawrence

“‘Hocus Pocus.’ I watched it over and over when I was younger, and it kind of became a tradition with my friends and I.”

— Emily Meyer, Kansas University freshman, Shawnee

“‘Halloween.’ The music is always a big part of scary movies, but Michael Myers is the one that set it off for me.”

— Vince Hardridge, office manager, Lawrence

“‘Sleepy Hollow.’ It’s a good Halloween movie, and it’s not too scary. I don’t like really scary movies.”

— Jessica Long, Lawrence High School senior, Lawrence

That is scary.

Never before have I been ashamed to admit that I live in Lawrence. Tonight while out trick or treating with my family we noticed a group of white male kids dressed up as klansmen knocking on peoples door saying "open up "n" we know your in there", and white power and people would open there door laugh and give the boys candy. Although a few people did tell them that it was unacceptable and to move on. Were have we gone wrong, what are we teaching our children. We as a society have come too far. But I guess ignorance is taught.

ruette, Did the OTS journalist quote her verbatim?, or did he/she use journalistic license, and put a bit of "english"on her response?

Carnival of Souls is one of the Monsterfest movies on AMC. You can see it for free on the Sunflower Cable free On Demand. I saw it the other night for the umpteenth time.

Well, she is "cute little blonde freshman"...............

Yes they do have to take English but then.............

Thanks.

What scares me most is the proliferation of rotten grammar exemplified by Emily Meyer. Don't these cute little blonde freshmen have to take English at KU?

Modern horror flicks for the most part do not hold a candle to the originals so turn your lights out and run the tape or DVD.................................

Reticent, IT was a Stephen King movie.

Which reminds me of Pet Semetary...now that's a scary movie. I read the book first, and even just READING it scared the crap out of me.

Any of the original Universal monster films--Dracula with Lugosi, Frankenstein with Karloff, or The Wolfman with Chaney Jr.

Carnival of Souls....Don't know if someone mentioned yet...Someone told me that the bridge scene was filmed at the old Lecompton bridge. It's a great "B" movie.

Pywacket 7 years, 5 months ago

Shaun of the Dead! Why didn't I think of that earlier? Another great favorite. Funny & sad more than scary.

I think The Sixth Sense could qualify as a Halloween movie, too. That was pretty good.

Ceal,

You never know...

Remember as our dear friend Rud once penned...
The female of the species is more deadly than the male

Could have been a clowness eating little children, inspired by Jonathan Swift?

RI, not the "IT" girl . . this IT appeared like a clown and ate little children :-\
