I have lots and lots of favorite movies, so when WP asked what my ten favorite films are, I decided to list my favorite ” Halloween ” films.
The Witch (2016)
Five Million YearsTo Earth (Quatermass And The Pit)
Scrooge (released as A Christmas Carol in the United States)
Dracula (1931)
The Wolfman (1941)
The Mummy (1932)
The Mummy (1999)
Pirates of the Caribbean ( ALL OF THEM!)
Halloween monsters may be the stuff of our nightmares. They may scare us, they may intrigue us- some of us name our pets after them.
But as we say goodnight to our seasonal friends, it may be a good idea to remember humans may not have fangs, or bolts in our necks or claws but we are after all part of the same family- that concept is wonderfully stated by Vincent Price in the movie ” The Monster Club”
So in a way our Halloween Monsters are always with us-even if they are just out of sight and hidden in the shadows.
There are 11 days to Halloween and I am here to say it’s going to be a Double Creature Feature at my house this weekend.
Unusual shots of Karloff as the MUMMY (1932)
First up I’m going to watch ” The Mummy ” staring Boris Karloff and after I’m done with that, I’m going to sit back with a fresh bowl of over buttered popcorn and watched The King do battle with a Pharaoh with a nasty potty mouth.
What? What film is that I am speaking of?
Bob Ivy as Bubba Ho-Tep
Why Bubba Ho-Tep of course:
Bubba Ho-Tep is one of those films I only watch at Halloween- and it’s not for the obvious reason. I watch it in the Fall because at it’s heart this is a story about two men facing their own Autumns and even though it’s cold and dark for them, they are brave enough to face it head on.
In addition I just love this film to death- so here are some clips featuring and interview with Bruce Campbell, my favorite fight scene and music from the film.
