Halloween Movie Night

The cold I've caught means I probably won't be dressing up and going out dancing this halloween weekend (although that remains a possibility and I've got my cowgirl get up out just in case). Seems like this year it will be a stay at home halloween weekend. Me, my sister, and a couple of friends whose other exciting options include apple bobbing with physics PhD students will be here carving pumpkins, playing cards, and watching movies. There may even be punch and pie. Oh yeah. Good times...


(ooh just saw the news that Dick Cheney's chief of staff - "Scooter"- was indicted! Oh please let this be the beginning of an official reckoning. Damn, now I feel like partying, cold or no.)

Here's this weekend's movie list. I may add to it, although I think 6 movies are plenty for one night.
House on Haunted Hill (BW 1959) Starring Vincent Price and a spooky scary skeleton.
"First Film With the Amazing New Wonder EMERGO: The Thrills Fly Right Into The Audience!"

Plan 9 from Outer Space (BW 1959) Ed Wood directs this B- movie classic. Bella Lugosi and Vampira.
"Aliens Resurrecting The Dead! Flying Saucers Over Hollywood!"

Halloween (1978) John Carpenter directs classic teen horror movie. Jamie Lee Curtis in some kick ass 70s outfits.
"HE came home for HALLOWEEN."

Shaun of the Dead (2004) British comedy/horror. Not one I'm dying to see, but the guys tell me it's funny.
"A romantic comedy. With zombies."

Dracula (1992) Francis Ford Coppola directs. Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, and the incomparable Keanu Reeves bring Bram Stoker's sexually repressed victorian characters to life in this classic vampire story.
Anachronisms: When Dracula bites Mina, her 20th century bikini briefs can be seen beneath her sheer 19th century night gown.

Dracula, Dead and Loving It (1995) Mel Brooks directs spoof of FFC's Dracula. Stars Leslie Neilson.
Jonathan Harker: She's alive?
Van Helsing: She's Nosferatu.
Jonathan Harker: She's Italian?
