Favorite Halloween movie?

I'm not real big on the blood and gore of horror movies. I did enjoy the first Paranormal Activity.

Hocus Pocus and Coraline ( )are probably my favorites.

What movies put you in the Halloween mood?

That one always sets the holiday train for me! A natural transition into the Christmas/Thanksgiving holidays.

Jamie Lee Curtis, the creepy music, knitting needles, a ghost with glasses, “totally” girl. Absolutely my fave. 👻🎃🤖

...the climax takes place on Halloween night...and the whole feel of the small town, the hidden presence of Boo Radley, and the murderous attack at the end, *feels* Halloweenish and Americana-ish. The whole film has a sort of subtle nightmare feel to it, which makes it appropriate as a Halloween film...
