Surprised. Watched this 'Halloween' movie on Netflix a while back. Surprised me. Was pretty good.
Trick 'r Treat. If you have not seen it. You might like it. Kind of fresh and dark humor with a bit of 'bite'.
 
Is "all of them" an acceptable answer? I don't think I could pick one! Nightmare Before Christmas is a good choice (as a huge Danny Elfman/Oingo Boingo fan), and could be followed by Corpse Bride and Coraline.

I often do a Romero Living Dead marathon, though now that all the Saw movies are on DVD, I might do that this year (we'll see. Girlfriend also likes them, but doesn't have the stomach for gore that I do). And, Psychosis, I'll see your Return of the Living Dead and raise you Part 3 (my favorite in the series)!
 
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Hocus Pocus. Sweeney Todd. Poltergeist. Beetle Juice. The Craft.

And I know that this will forever ruin any credibility I had as a filmmaker, but my guilty pleasure Halloween movies are the Halloweentown series... :blush:
 
I suppose it would be "Nightmare on Elm St." (the original), but there are really so many. I'm a long-time horror movie fan (even worked for a horror movie site for a year, and was lucky enough to cover a few conventions, and meet a lot of really great actors, directors and the like), so it's difficult to choose just one.

Halloween is also probably the only holiday I really give a damn about.

Just watched Halloweentown I & II and Hocus Pocus with my girlfriend. Classics :)

I really like Hocus Pocus. Just bought it.

My favorites are the Halloween movies.

I like them too.
 
I am not familiar with Halloweentown, but boy does it sound RIGHT up my alley! Hard not to like Hocus Pocus, and bringing to mind another fond memory from my childhood, Mr. Boogedy! Which of course leads to other classic spooky Disney stuff, Watcher In the Woods, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and one of my all-time favorites, Child of Glass!
 
"Nightmare before Christmas", hands down, no competition (in my book)!

For something scary, I'd have to go with "Halloween" (the original, of course).
 
No amount of nostalgia can get me to sit through the whole of these movies. But they are still probably my favorite 'Halloween movies.'

Hocus Pocus &
Halloweentown

What I do love to rewatch this time of year is Halloween episodes of TV shows. Roseanne's are the best (and all streaming on Netflix now!)
