Halloween

As I was on my way to work the other morning I noticed the moon and the color of it. It looked almost a dark yellow. It led me into another thought about Halloween and the traditions that go along with it. No I am not just talking about Trick or Treating, althought that is something I will always hold near and dear to my heart. Nor am I talking about carving pumpkins, and hoping that while you go to sleep that night some kids don't come to your house and toss the pumpkin into the street. I am talking about another way we get ourselves into Halloween spirit.....MOVIES
So I decided to list the Halloween movies that I enjoy every year. Some are scary, some are fun, some are just tradition. I will share the list that I have, feel free to add some of your favorites as well.

The Changeling - This one is hands down the scariest movie I have EVER seen. This was done in the 80'S (i think) so it might be kind of hard to find.

When a Stranger Calls - Again this was done in the 80's, but boy did it screw with my head after watching it with my roommates in college. Emily you remember how we walked each other to our rooms basically looking over our shoulders the whole time.

Nightmare Before Christmas - I love this one because it basically can be watched anytime between Halloween and Christmas and still fit in.

Corpse Bride - This movie is so good. The music is great. If you have not seen it I would

Casper - Who doesn't love the friendliest ghost around! and the 3 uncles are super funny.

Red Eye - Nick got me to watch this one last year. It is pretty good. It is more a suspense movie than anything, but it is still kinda scary.

Dracula, Dead and Loving It - Overall this movie is great if you just need a laugh. It is kind of crude but it is still funny. It is a Mel Brooks movie so if you like his stuff you should enjoy it.

Young Frankenstein - Need I say more? All around good times

Harry Potter - All of them. I put these in here simply because there are witches in it. But the kids love them.

The Grudge - I personally have never watched this one because plain and simple it looks to scary for me. But Nick and his best friend love it.

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown - Doesn't matter if you watch this one on TV or the movie. It is a classic. No matter how many times I watch it, I can't help but to root for poor Linus as he waits for the Great Pumpkin.

The Birds - I have not seen this one either but Mom I knowyou have I remember the story you have told us about how while watching this at school one year during one of the scenses when the birds were attacking, you reached up and grabbed the girl's head in front of you. Classic!!

The Witches - This is one I remembered watching in Elementary School so I bought it and watched it. It is kind of fun.

Hocus Pocus - I think I will forever have a sweet spot in my heart for this one. It is just soooo funny! And really who doesn't love a chance to hear Bett Midler sing?

Well there is a start. I know I am forgetting a few but this just gets the ball rolling.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Carri and Nick
