Halloween The Shining Carrie Nightmare On Elm Street Candyman
Im guessing this fits in the time frame of a party. there are so many more,but if I had limited time,thats what I would play.(Warning:The Shining is over 2 hours long,so might be too long. if so,replace it with The Lost Boys).

Yeah Carrie is a good one i forgot about that... Yeah give me some really freaky films that make your eyes water. Thanks peaches.
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
no,wait...replace Shining and Lost Boys with Evil Dead 2. Thats a REAL freaky-deaky! (Another freaky-deaky is Texas Chainsaw Massacre.) See how tough this is? You'll have to have TWO partys!!! (Hellraisers another good one,and if you like Nightmare On Elm Street 1 you'll LOVE Nightmare On Elm Street 3!!!!!!!!!!)

Some of the ones that scared me, are probably harder to find:
He Knows Your Alone Silent Scream Don't Go in the House Death Weekend Silent Night/Deadly Night Curse 2 The Stepfather Cujo Waxworks Witchboard The Omen Slumber Part Massacre Terror in the Aisles-covers it all New Year's Evil Schizoid Happy Birthday to Me My Bloody Valentine April Fool's Day Piranha Night School The Fog
The 1st and second Friday the 13th's, and the 1st and 2nd Halloween, Fright Night is a good one, especially if you have a younger crowd.
I am having a Halloween party too. Of couse- I can not wait. I have been planning it for month's. Good Luck.

Well Ronnie, I'd love for you to come! I might be in a magazine this month, I have to find it.. it's 30 minute meals, does anyone get it? The lady that is the editor, called me last month, I had sent pictures in from our last year's party to Taste of Home, she called and said they loved it, and might have room in the Oct/Nov issue of this other magazine. But, I don't get that one, I just sent in for it, if anyone gets it or knows where I can find it let me know.
My party is Oct. 25th at 6PM, but I don't think anyone from here lives close enough to me to come. Every room in my house is going to have people in it for the night, I don't even know where I am sleeping that night-my son's whole class was here last year, and will be this year, and alot more people that we have meet. My house is pretty big-it almost 3000 square feet-I have 11 rooms, but I think people will be sitting on the porch. Last year was a blast, I decorate like nothing anybody has ever seen, and even do the fog machine and black lights, and my brother -in-law- is the head baker at a restaurant near here, that is actually semi famous-it's on the food channel all the time, so he helps me with the food, and it is awesome. I am even going to dress as Isis this year. I found an egyptian costume, and I have these black go-go style boots, and I am looking on different sites for a long black nice wig. I am really excited!!! Everyone should get to go to a cool Halloween party in their lifetime. I always have had them, and it seems like less and less people even think about doing one each year. But, everyone loves to go to them. There are so many cool games, we get the Ouija board out, play Halloween Bingo,pin the eyeball on the monster, hot potato to the Monster Mash ,wrap each other with toilet paper, it's a blast! I have all kinds of door prizes. We watch scary movies all night, and pig out!!
Does anyone else miss when Halloween was fun, did anyone go corning as a kid?

Trick or Treat

Devolution here,
Isis, you are only a couple of years older than me, but we have exactly the same taste in movies, I have seen all of those. But, if you want really not going to sleep at night look no further than Pet Semetary, especially if not that many people have seen it. What a great friggin movie. Piranha? It's a Disney Short, it's a scary movie about something that exists in the Amazon. In Piranha 2 they fly!!! How dumb was that?
We are DEVO

Devo..I have to agree with you on that on Pet Semetary)..I saw it while I was in college and I couln't sleep for days...and I was away from home...all alone.. ha..ha..
my favorite is:
It's Alive (80's?)
Isis:
THey have cool wigs at hollywood-costumes.com and buycostumes.com
Posted by Jessica Rabbit 2 Russian Rabbit (Member # 1904) on :
Yeah Cheers Isis Good luck with your party too.

Devo, Piranha 2-The Spawning, it is really dumb, but it was gross-and it was James Cameron's directorial debut. But Piranha-the first one, Disney?? It has Heather Menzies who used to be on Logan's Run, and I thought it was great cause the effects were so realistic, it was made by the same people who worked on Gremlins, because alot of the same actors are in it. There are parts of it that are so creepy. Barbara Steele is in it, who plays the psycho in Silent Sceam, she is scary when she is playing a regular person. I totally loved that movie-it came out in 1978 though.
Posted by isis9968 (Member # 1780) on :
I forgot Prom Night-that is a great party movie!
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
I didn't see Trick or Treat there (1987), although it's not scary it's priceless sseing Skippy Handelman from Family Ties come back as a dead rockstar.

Belauan, thanks for those websites, I looked at the hollywood-costumes one and it was really cool, I am sending it to my friends that don't know what to wear yet. I know what I am gonna be. I found a wig through www.wigs.com It was probably more expensive, but ya never know I could like wearing it-haha. I never really wore one, other than for a witches costume-which is usually what everyone does, cause it's one of the easiest costumes. Do you have different season where you live? You probably don't get an autumn in the tropics, huh? Probably sounds like a dumb question. I couldn't stand not having fall, it is my favorite season. I love the trees changing colors. I hope others check out those sites, they were way cool!

Isis:
no seasons here..it's a tropical isle...I wish we have four seasons like you...I love autumn and spring...but my fav is autumn.. You're gonna be Isis on Halloween? For me, I think I'll go as Medusa... ..ha..ha...

I am going to actually be Isis for Halloween. I found an ID Badge on Ebay, with Joanna Cameron's picture on it, and I got this Egyptian outfit, and I got this long dark haired wig, and a egyptian headband, and I have these go-go style, black leather boots, with huge heels, and I'll probably fall down the steps- we went shopping all day and I found some awesome decorations-at a place called Party City- that was really cool, I got earrings that look like snakes-but that was Cleopatra-but who cares. Target had some cool stuff too-I got this great big arbor thing- that goes over a walk way, it has a mural of a haunted house on it, and kids walk through it, and it has these streamers hanging down, I think it's so cool. Halloween Rocks!! I hope everyone has a fun one!!
Posted by isis9968 (Member # 1780) on :
I just thought I'd tell everyone- I am Famous now too..My picture of my Halloween Display was just published in the Taste of Home magazine for Oct/Nov it is on page 49. They sent me a complimnetary issue today. I am not sure if it is out on the stands now or not. But, I am so excited, 5 million people subscribe to that magazine.
