So it's almost Halloween, so tell us about your favorite scary and suspenseful movies, or even just fun Halloween themed movies here (not all the films in the topic have to be horror films!).

I agree with LTG.... Halloween 3..... I remember in my high school days being really creeped out by that Halloween movie. Had nothing to do with Mike Myers and all... I forget the exact stupid theme but.... all I remember was them trying to get all the kids to wear the SILVER SHAMROCK mask at 9pm... "ITS TIME, boys and girls, get your masks....ITS TIME ITS TIME ITS TIME...." dunt dunt da dunt dunt da dunt dunt......."SILVER SHAMROCK" over and over and over.... then the kids brains rotted when they watched the TV with the flashing pumpkin and white light... That was cree-eee-eee-pppppp-yyyyy.
Quoted from pinnaf:Had nothing to do with Mike Myers and all...
They wanted to do other Halloween movies, but Michael Myers fans got upset and the movies reverted back to him.

LTG : )™
all good choices in fact i think i'm going to watch Halloween 3 tonight. I'd say its my favorite besides the original.
I Like to watch the universal classics or even those public domain B&W movies like City of the Dead or Carnival of Souls
But since Pixels came out this week I've been scared to even go by a Redbox.
Quoted from LTG:Halloween 3, Season of the Witch.
When Conal Cochran wishes Dr. Challis a "Happy Halloween" in the test room, I thought was one of the coldest lines ever in a movie.
LTG : )™
Agreed. It's not a great movie, but there's something about it that makes it very watchable. Everyone in the film is taking it very seriously which is part of its charm. Likewise, the masks are creepy and the concept is interesting. Fans will always remember it as the 'Halloween without Michael Myers,' but it's a real hoot.
The Dario Argento flicks Suspiria and Profondo Rosso, both featuring incredible horror soundtracks by Goblin (Suspiria has better sets, Profondo Rosso better music):
Sorry, not sure how to tag content but the first one has some gore.

I watch a lot of horror, and my list is pretty long, but suffice to say if John Carpenter directed it, I'm in. I think his most underrated movies are his last two good movies: Prince Of Darkness and In The Mouth Of Madness.

Along with those, I have to recommend a new movie which is sort of a throwback to the JC style tension-based horror: It Follows.

What was that Japanese film about the child that drown in the water tank in top of the block of flats and he was haunting the residents in the flat, kind of via the water... He/she kept appearing in different places too, just standing there soaking wet in a pool of water... that one scared the crap out of me!
Found it... Dark Water... Even the trailer on Youtube is scary:
All of the Friday the 13th movies are lots of fun. Or Tombs of the Blind Dead 
Quoted from Lockenick:Or for an experience that will truly leave you questioning humanity "A Serbian Film".
Yep, that one was disturbing. Not really scary, just really really disturbing.
Melbourne
Conjuring
The exorcist
The ring is ok
Sinister
Thought I would do more modern since everyone doing newer classics
Quoted from joelreeves:The first Halloween is my all time favorite, but a couple of lesser known great scary movies,
both from 1981... The Funhouse and My Bloody Valentine - Awesome Scary Stuff, perfect for late night
October viewing.
Sleepaway Camp 1, Black Christmas, and Scream are some more of the best slashers with ridiculous deaths. So good.
Quatermass and the Pit (A.K.A. Five Million Years to Earth). Probably one of the best films from Hammer. Creepy as all Hell even today.
Quoted from MustangPaul:From Beyond and Blood Sucking Freaks.
From Beyond FTW!!
Quoted from Gryszzz:The Human Centipede will help you lose weight...you won't be hungry for awhile.
The 1st? or the 2nd? or the 3rd? How the hell did they make 3.... That movie after #1 made me sick. HUGE THICK LINE between Suspense vs disgusting
Quoted from dirtbag66:Whoopi Goldberg as "the world's toughest cop"?
*shudder*
Hey now.... Her and I have the same birthday... She be like my sister from another mother.
Quoted from Jean-Luc-Picard:The 1st? or the 2nd? or the 3rd? How the hell did they make 3.... That movie after #1 made me sick. HUGE THICK LINE between Suspense vs disgusting
I only saw the 1st. That was enough.
