I've never been one to say "I hate scary movies" or anything like that. However lately I've realized that my favorite "halloween" movies are really just fun, cheesy movies that mention ghost/witchcraft/zombies and are not scary at all. Oh well.
So in honor of Halloween I give you my breakdown of Halloween/scary movies:
Not really scary, but always really awesome:
Hocus Pocus
Double Double Toil and Trouble
Casper (Remember when Hillary Duff did a TV movie sequel to this?)
Worst attempt ever at being scary:
Cloverfield
Over it:
The Ring
Wait, wait... there's a twist:
6th Sense
The Others
Is this really a Halloween movie just because it has a ghost/vampire/witch in it? Whateves, I'm watching it anyways:
Nightmare before Christmas
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Sabrina the Teenage Witch (90s Ryan Reynolds!)
I told you not to go there alone:
Prom Night
Disturbia
Bones (No this is not the awesome TV show Bones starring Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz. This is a terrible movie where these teens try to turn a haunted house into a club/dance party that I accidentally recorded on my tivo. Spoiler: Snoop Dog is the ghost haunting everyone! Whaa?)
Also, almost every scary/thriller movie ever made.
Don't talk to those people:
Carrie
Children of the Corn
I don't know why other people didn't think these were scary:
I am Legend
Beetlejuice (He's creepy and I don't like him. I really only like the Winona Ryder parts)
Freaked me out:
Return to Oz
So I could do this forever, there are so many "scary" movies out there ( I have friends who once did an October long marathon of scary movies). But I think I'll end it for now. Let me know if there is a good Halloween movie you think I should watch!
Currently baking: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have some to add/comments :) :
ReplyDeleteNot really scary, but always really awesome:
Hocus Pocus- REALLY love this movie.
And to add, Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin King (gotta love the Peanuts gang!)And Nightmare before christmas- I know you mentioned this one later on, but I just love this movie and have ever since I was a kid.
Worst attempt ever at being scary:
Cloverfield-Never seen this, actually been meaning to
Over it:
The Ring- me too!
I'd like to add: Anything and everything with vampires. So sick of the jump on the vampire band wagon that's going on right now.
I told you not to go there alone:
Have you ever seen "When a Stranger Calls".. seriously freaked me out and reminded me of all the rich people in Sugarland and babysitting for them and how freaky their houses were late at night.
I don't know why other people didn't think these were scary:
I am Legend-Will Smith is such a good actor. And it scared me too, you're not alone.
Beetlejuice "(He's creepy and I don't like him. I really only like the Winona Ryder parts" Haha I agree completely!
Freaked me out:
Return to Oz-haha, remember the bad guys with rollerblades or whatever?hahaha And the creepy witch, couldn't she change heads?
I love that you know what I'm talking about in Return to Oz (that witch totally does switch heads).I think we share a brain lol. I haven't seen When a Stranger Calls though, I'll have to put it on my list!
