The Halloween Line Up

We are not crazy about horror or gore, so don't look for any of that on this list.  Funny, yes.  Classic, yes.  Well made versions of the stuff that used to scare us silly when we were little kids.  Hopefully, you will agree:

Hocus Pocus

Hard to believe a Disney movie didn't make it in the theatres.  The three most hilarious witches to come out of Salem in decades.

Practical Magic

Now these six witches are probably the most glamorous you will ever find, and all six have some of the best hair in Hollywood.

Ghostbusters

Great music, ridiculous concept, dogs and cats, living together.

Little Shop of Horrors

A Halloween musical with Rick Moranis and Steve Martin?  Who knew either one could sing or dance.

Sleepy Hollow

Tim Burton does it again.  Oh, and it's got Johnny Depp. 

The Ninth Gate

Now here is a Johnny Depp movie maybe you haven't seen.  Very well done, very sexy creepy.  It's also got Frank Langella and Lena Olin, two of my favorites.

Young Frankenstein

If it's been a few years since you watched this Mel Brooks classic, its time to take another look.

Bram Stokers Dracula

A little bit gorey, a little be sexy, but it's probably the closest to the original novel of any of the Dracula renditions out there.

Dracula

A remake from 1979 with the most handsome, elegant Dracula ever, played by a very young, incredibly handsome Frank Langella.  Don't miss his interview in the special features.

The Witches of Eastwick

It's got Cher, it's got Michelle Pheiffer, its got Jack Nicholson.  It's on the list.

An American Werewolf in London

This was probably the first movie on my list, and still one of my favorites.  The Dr. Pepper Guy, early John Landis special effects (he did Michael Jackson's Thriller make-up and special effects), and a soundtrack with every song ever written about the moon.
