Halloween for the Anti-Social or Me, the Sofa, and the Big-Screen TV
As amusing as it would be to watch people dress up as a pimp and his ho (actually did happen last year), Jon and Kate, or Balloon Boy, the Significant Other and I decided we’ll spend this Halloween stretched out on my sofa and go through my collection of Halloween-themed DVDs while munching on a variety of deep-fried goodness.
Number 1
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Number 2
Garfield’s Halloween Adventure
Number 3
Sleepy Hollow (really, any of Tim Burton’s movies would be suitable for Halloween)
Number 4
Beetlejuice (another Tim Burton)
Number 5
Corpse Bride (and another Tim Burton)
Number 6
The Amazing Screw-on Head (David Hyde Pierce killed me in this title)
Number 7
Hellboy (David Hyde Pierce was amazing in this one too)
Number 8
Army of Darkness (so many classic lines, so few people get them *sigh*)
Number 9
Drag Me to Hell (Sam Raimi doing what he does best: meshing horror and comedy…and not a single emo-teen superhero in sight!)
Number 10
Shaun of the Dead (Zombieland is my new favourite zombie movie, but it’s still in theatres)
Number 11
Hot Fuzz (Timothy Dalton’s in it; doesn’t that make it a horror?)
Number 12
Bram Stoker’s Dracula (probably the only title from Francis Ford Coppola I did not find overly pretentious)
Number 13
Blade (only the first one because the series went in the crapper with the two sequels)

A good selection of movies. My plans for Halloween include “The Sixth Sense” and a couple of Hitchcock movies. So glad I never get trick-or-treaters here! lol Happy Halloween!

Nothing brings out the Holidays like TV.

I’d do this too if I wasn’t going to be home alone. LOL I tend to spook myself too bad when I am. Have fun! Happy T13!

I’ll be at my house watching movies and I might just try some “deep fried goodness”
I leave the Halloween candy until the day after when you get it for half price!!!
Zombieland—I can’t wait for it to come out on DVD so that I can see it!
Happy TT!
