The Best Halloween Movies of All Time According to Timeout - Page 2

"Let's address the obvious question right off the (vampire) bat: what's the difference between a horror movie & a Halloween movie? For us – and presumably, the folks for whom spooky season isn't a holiday or even a month, but a whole lifestyle – there is a fine distinction, perhaps best summed up as: all Halloween movies are scary, but not all scary movies are Halloween movies. In other words, there are horror flicks worth watching basically any time of the year, but only a specific subcategory of those are ideal for viewing in October. A movie like, say, 'Don't Look Now,' is certainly disturbing, & a triumph of the horror genre. But its scares are perhaps a bit too cerebral for the time of year when everyone has smiling pumpkins on their porches and 12-foot Home Depot skeletons on their front lawns. You want your frights to be visceral, hard-hitting &, most of all, fun. In that spirit, here are 45 great movies to drop in your queue in the lead up to All Hallow's Eve." - timeout.com
