Halloween Themed Movie?

[Jscareshock]

Growing up the tv stations would show the Universal monster movies in the Fall then air the Hammer horrors over the winter so I always thing of Universal movies for Halloween.  Now I start my Halloween movie watching with two comedies:  HOLLYWOOD KNIGHTS which takes place on Halloween, and ARSENIC AND OLD LACE.  Then Charlie BRown and Garfield Halloween specials.  I grew up before the Halloween, Nightmare etc slasher films so they don't even enter onto the playlist for me.  It's got to be the oldies.

I record Halloween specials every year and re watch them because they are entertaining year after year, but outside of that i bought a DVD a few years ago called 'Halloween Magic', it has Haunted House Sound Effects as well images of Jack O'Lanterns, flying bats, masks and creatures - most images are of things available for retail at companies like Fright Catalog.
It is kind of like those 'Yule Log' disks, about 25 minuets latter it re starts automatically, it is not to watch as much as to have running in the background for atmosphere, if you want a film with a story they do provide a second feature that contains the original 'House On Haunted Hill' with Vincent Price gratis.

i know they aren't movies but i always love to see the halloween themed episodes of older sitcoms, like roseanne, home improvement, family matters, etc.

'Roseanne' and 'Home Improvement' did some terrific stuff - but don't forget 'Beavis and Butt-Head : Bunghollio, Lord Of The Harvest'.

Never seen this one, but I bet it is about Orsen Wells radio broadcast.

Didn't realize that you were old enough to remember the original B'cast!

I never have heard the broadcast, and would love to...I need to check the local library, and see if they have a copy...
I know back in the day, I was able to check out A&C radio programs there...

There is a terrific DVD of the George Pal 'War Of The Worlds' i would recommend highly - on one commentary Anne Robinson tells about the production in delightfull,extreme detail, her co star Gene Barry keeps talking about what a good looking fellow he used to be (no vanity there, huh folks?), but it has the entire CBS Mercury Theater 'War Of The Worlds radio broadcast.
