Halloween meme

It's Halloween, and you're having a Halloween party/movie fest. Which five movies do you choose, and why?

1. Nosferatu (1922) Classic vampire movie that is genuinely scary (and not a sparkle in sight!)

2. Psycho (1960) This is why a classic should never be remade.

3. Halloween (1978) Another classic (though I am told the remake is not too bad, I have not seen it yet, nor do I intend to.)

4. The Crow (1994) One of the last Halloween movies I saw on the big screen. (You see? I do attend current movies. ;)

5. Corpse Bride (2005) What's not to love about this? It has everything. :) [The only difficulty was choosing just *one* spooky Depp film.]

I don't actually like scary movies, so the scariest Hallowe'en type movies I've seen are Sleepy Hollow and Van Helsing. *g*

I have, however, read Bram Stoker's Dracula... that's very suspenseful and scary!

Most of the current "scary movies" are nothing but gore/spatter-fests, and I refuse to watch them (they literally turn my stomach.)

Dracula is a very scary book, and 'Nosferatu' is still one of the scariest movies *ever*.

I'm definitely not into gore at all.

I like books that allow your imagination to supply what's happening. I think a person's imagination can be spookier and more dastardly than anything the writer can come up with because your imagination works to your own personal kinks and creep outs. *g*
