Bringing big dark gothic energy to a film that plays so well for young children is a feat for which Barry Sonnenfeld definitely deserved Oscar consideration. The first film about a spooky family living its best life in modern-day America, featuring unforgettable performances by the perfectly-cast Raul Julia and Angelica Huston as well as a young Ch...
Technically only half of this svelte, 69-minute Disney package film will interest those celebrating Halloween. But the “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” section of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad contains some of the spookiest, most iconic imagery in Disney Animation and it’s still a total Halloween treat. Adapted from the classic Washington Irving ...
The third installment in Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead trilogy sheds almost all of the genuine horror of the previous two films and steers completely into Three Stoogian slapstick absurdity. Endlessly quotable and inspiringly over-the-top, Bruce Campbell’s adventure battling hordes of the undead in medieval Europe is so gleefully unserious that it’s hard t...
Before he had Johnny Depp, director Tim Burton’s go-to guy was — checks notes — stand-up-comedian-turned- serious-actor Michael Keaton. And oh, what a great odd couple it was. The team’s great collab is 1988’s Beetlejuice which sees Keaton transform into the thoroughly odious yet very charming (and possibly bangable?) “bio-exorcist” Betelgeuse. Ol’...
There are few horror films as lavishly produced and deeply romantic as Francis Ford Coppola’s bold Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The film, which kicked off a mini resurgence of big budget prestige horror movies like Wolf, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Mary Reilly, luxuriates in its opulence – from the incredible make-up effects, to the optical effects w...
I'm not going to sit here and argue that the 1992 film directed by Fran Rubel Kuzui is on the same level as what Joss Whedon would eventually transform his screenplay into for television. Those seven seasons are more than able to speak for themselves. However, to totally discount the film is to totally overlook Kristy Swanson's spirited performance...
The modern wave of found-footage horror begins, arguably, with The Blair Witch Project Looking at it now, it’s hard to believe a movie starring three unknowns at the time (Josh Leonard would eventually breakout into bigger projects) would become one of the biggest movies of 1999, grossing nearly $140.5 million domestic on a $60,000 budget. But we d...
One of the greatest modern gothic ghost stories, Candyman is often unfortunately mislabeled as a slasher movie. I love slasher movies, but that's not exactly giving the film credit for the literary nuance and well-implemented tradition it so richly deserves. Inspired by a story by Clive Barkerand repurposed with a story rooted in America's great na...
Casper was telling tweens it was okay to think a ghost was cute boyfriend material long before Netflix’s Julie and the Phantoms. A blend of horror, drama, and comedy, Casper is the perfect movie to entertain kids with frothy Halloween thrills and thoroughly depress their Millennial parents with Casper’s grim backstory. What is that backstory? Well,...
Sometimes to go forward, you gotta go back. From its imposing “based on a true story” opening title crawl to its literal period setting, The Conjuring is here to tell you, in ways both subtly classy and muscly blunt, that our golden age of 1970s filmmaking has plenty of influential meat on the bones. James Wan, whose Saw is also a perennial favorit...

- Halloween (1978) Director John Carpenter kicked off the franchise and practically invented the slasher subgenre with this horror classic. Jamie Lee Curtis plays teen babysitter Laurie Strode in the sleepy suburb of Haddonfield, Illinois, which is terrorized by escaped killer Michael Myers on Halloween night.
- Halloween II (1981) This sequel picks up immediately where the first movie left off, on the same night, as teenager Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is being treated at the local hospital for her injuries, and psychiatrist Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) is still hunting Michael Myers.
- Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Believing that the Michael Myers story had run its course, producer John Carpenter attempted to turn the Halloween series into an anthology, with this Michael-free film.
- Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. Not even John Carpenter could kill Michael Myers, who returns here after taking the third movie off. With both Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis gone, Michael now targets his young niece Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris), along with various other residents of Haddonfield.
