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

horror movies generally suck, probably more than any other genre

I haven't seen a scary movie since Poltergeist. I didn't sleep for weeks without obsessively checking my closet.

I also did the huge jump in & out of bed if I had to get up in the middle of the night. You know, just in case something was under the bed waiting to grab my ankles and get me.

Bram Stoker's Dracula!!!!

Not related to Halloween, but "In Cold Blood" is the movie I will never allow myself to see again. The fact that it was a true story made it deeply horrifying. I wanted that door to be locked sooooo bad, but I knew it wasn't and that they would all die. That movie haunted me for a long time.

Jaws I and II??

Stephen King's The Shining that Stanley Kubrick directed. Something about Jack Nicholson that really ups the creep factor in that one.

The guy who played the tuba in Jaws just died in the last week. Very sad.

I don't do scary movies since Mothra.

Exorcist 111 scared the crap out of me. You only need to watch 1 and 111. Exorcist 11 was a piece of garbage but 1 and 111 are based on William Peter Blatty books. Havent seen Last House on the Left for some reason but it sounds like my kind of movie.

Anything with Keanu Reeves. I am terrified by his total inability to display emotion.

The Exorcists still scares the livin' crap outta me! I can barely stand it!!

Nothing compares to The Exorcist.

Of all the "real-life" scary stuff, nothing has been documented more thoroughly than demon possession. Ask any missionary who's spent time in a primative culture and they will tell you "I wasn't sure before if I believed in that stuff... but now I do".

Definitely "It's the Great Pumpkin..."
For halloween "shorts," I like Warner Bros Bugs w/ the old witch, Bugs w/ Dracula, (OK, I like all the cartoons WB did).
"Hocuscadabra!" "Alacapocus!"...Too funny!

Since today is "National Increase Your Pyschic Powers Day," I'm going to practice mine now... "I'm seeing that some of you will be walking around outdoors tonight and not quite yourselves. Some of you will be hiding in dark rooms. Some of you will be drunk. Some of you will be...oops! Sorry, can't post that one but WOW! What an image."
