There are so many good and entertaining horror and monster movies that the whole month of October could easily be filled with them.
A triple feature of, first, for younger children, which ends at 8pm; then for older children, from 8:30 to 10:00; then for adults only from 10:30 to Midnight. Of course, in adult only households, it’s more oriented to gender.
But such a bounty to choose from: classical, suspense, shock, drama, comedy, and “so bad they are good” horror movies. There are, of course, serious and very serious horror movies, filled with grotesque and gore, but they aren’t really in the spirit of Halloween.
Then there is Bammy vs. the Constitution. True horror.
Not a fan of gore and horror. I do like a good Hitchcock film, or a good old murder mystery on TV, ( i loved watching Columbo and Ellery Queen as a kid), but movies that are just slasher films and what not aren’t my thing.
When I was a kid I was scared to death by the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz. I feel bad for kids today, the movies seem much scarier.
