It's that time of the year again. One of my favorites, actually.
Spooky costumes, scary movies, and LOTS of candy!
I'm already in trouble for eating half of the trick-or-treat candy that we bought last week. It's so delicious. And available. It's my wife's fault for putting it out in a bowl already. What do you expect?
(Not so much the scary movie part, I'm a wuss when it comes to scary movies, and haunted houses. I once watched "The Ring" on mute.)
This reminds me that I need to start skimming through the movie channels for some of my favorite Halloween movies. Here's my top 5, not necessarily in order.
1. Hocus Pocus
-After 300 years, three sister witches are resurrected in Salem Massachusetts on Halloween night, and it us up to two teenagers, a young girl, and an immortal cat to put an end to the witches reign of terror once and for all.
2. Scary Movie 2
-Four teens are tricked by their professor into visiting a haunted house for a school project.
3. Friday the 13th
-Camp counselors are stalked and murdered by an unknown assailant while trying to reopen a summer camp that was the site of a child's drowning.
4. Halloween
-A psychotic murderer institutionalized since childhood for the murder of his sister, escapes and stalks a bookish teenage girl and her friends while his doctor chases him through the streets.
5. The Nightmare Before Christmas
-Jack Skellington, king of Halloweentown, discovers Christmas Town, but doesn't quite understand the concept.
