TT #46: Halloween for the Anti-Social

Thursday Thirteen

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)
