Awesome list there, great edition of the 3 Halloween films there. H20 is amazing, and is one of my favorites of the original series. I really like the Rob Zombie ones as well, I like the contrast between the 2 series of Halloween. Plus you can never go wrong with Michael Myers in any way.
Great picks : ), the other ED GEIN movie without Kane Hodder is Directed by Chuck Parello, and Stars: Steve Railsback as Ed Gein, it's a much better film that the Kane Hodder version, Kane is way too big to play Ed Gein IMHO.........."You 'aint seen The Howling!!!!!!", that's a Hanging Offence, No Judge, No Jury- Straight to Execution LOL!
Try Deranged its a great little Ed Gein(ish) film. Its on an MGM double bill disc with Motel Hell or you can get a nice region 2 German disc with some interesting extras, its in English as well. Love Dog Soldiers.
UPDATE: In my weakness, I have succumbed to Ghosthunters live, even though they don't find jack shite. Next up -- The Walking Dead at 10. Now, how can I not watch that? After, I will dive back into my stack. The night is young... Who else is watching The Walking Dead?
Great vid as usual Jason. I'm not really a horror fan, so this Halloween I am focusing comedies with horror elements. Already have watched Tremors and Fido. Still on tap are Ghostbusters, Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead, and possibly Bubba Ho-Tep if I have time. Good thing I don't have to work tomorrow. Can't wait for your next field trip video. Because of you guys I have started hitting my local pawn shops regularly and have found some great finds.
UPDATE: Happy Halloween Denizens! Last night after The Howling, I watched H2O while putting up my new shelving. Then I watched Halloween 6, followed by Prince of Darkness. First up today is They Live. I've added another film to my stack: My Bloody Valentine 3d on Bluray. I've gotta watch it. I'll prob watch a little Ghosthunters live, follwed by The Walking Dead on AMC (HELL yes). Then, i'll end the evening with Dog Soldiers. What do you guys think? And what are your plans?
@cackalackymovies Dog Soldiers...great choice Jason...your gonna love it! I think H20 was an inspired homage to the original (loved Jamie Lee Curtis going all Ripley on Michael Myers!). I hated My Bloody Valentine but maybe i wasnt in the mood for it (the tone was very similar to the very poor Final Destination sequels). Im also looking forward to The Walking Dead series....we get it over here in the UK next weekend! Happy Halloween KJ!
@cackalackymovies We had a few friends over last night....i just sent you the first part to my Halloween Weekend video. We watched The Collector and Frozen which i really enjoyed. Tonight its just me and my girlfriend....we just watched Halloween on bluray and soon we have REC 2 lined up....
Just to let you know.....Halloween the curse H20 and Resurrection are available in a three movie bluray pack from alliance in canada. They look and sound great.
@Posthuman2003 Really? You're the first person to say that. The Descent was a great film. If Dog Soldiers is even half as good, i'll be pleased. If i find it to be better than The Descent, what a great Halloween for me! Happy Halloween to you too!
Must watch they live and prince of darkness, don't not watch those. They live is in my top three carpenter movies, I may even say ahead of halloween and fog. Actually watching it right now on amc. Prince of Darkness is another beast, only seen it once but I need to fit it in tomorrow. It's a very strange movie, shit loads of atmosphere. I'd say fit Hills 2 and feast 2 in if time permits. Feast 2 is pretty bad aside from the one shocking scene.
@Br4inDeadDan Yeah, due to all of the comments about Feast The Hills.. they have fallen to the bottom of my stack. Prince of Darkness is fantastic. And all the positive comments about They Live is getting me pumped to watch it. Ahead of Halloween and The Fog? Damn, it must be good. You have plans for movie watching today?
@cackalackymovies actually snubbed the thing for a second. The Thing, They Live, Fog, and Halloween. Halloween last FTW! No reason, just prefer the others way more.
Busy day, already watched they live, prince of darkness, silent hill, and Frankenstein must be destroyed. Going to fit in from dusk till dawn, NOTD, suspiria, and if time permits one of the hammer dracula films. I'll have to hold off on the walking dead until tomorrow. Not sure if you're checking that out.
@CradleofFear333 I watched Prince of Darkness lat night and I loved it. Great pacing, building the tension to the end...just like everyone on here said. The crazy laughing black dude with the slit throat was awesome. Always good to see Donald Pleasance as well. They Live kicks off the second part of my marathon today!
Abby - Scored from Ebay it's released by SUBSTANCE (No never heard of em either! LOL) R1 - Has Magdalena possessed by the devil on same disc. There is a 'collectors' edition of Abby out there but I'm not sure who put that out - There's a copy up for auction at the Mo' - I love Will Girdler (Director) so may take a gamble. It's pretty throw away! Has the Dude from Blakula.
@broken1394 The collector's edition was released by cinefear. As I recall, it actually did have some cool features on it. If you like Girdler, you really need to check out cinefear.com. If you happen to buy anything, tell Keith Crocker (site owner) Jason from the Cackalacky Movie Madness youtube channel sent you. And, let me know what you think.
Krazy Jason Update: Just finished The Howling. Def. had that Joe Dante style. While the effects are woefully dated, I appreciate what they were able to accomplish for the time period. One thing that stood out that is yet ANOTHER thing lacking in today's movies is a well rounded cast. Not a bad egg in the bunch. Even characters that just had one line were great. Next up: Dog Soldiers.
@chrisastoyan Thanks! Yeah, Motel Hell is another one of those movies i've always wanted to watch but never got a chance. So many good ones from the 80's...
@LiveFastDiarrhea Thanks, man! No, much to my shame I haven't. I need to be flogged in front of the entire DVD community. That is a shame about Hills Have Eyes 2. I was really looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to re-visiting Blair Witch after all these years. What did you think of Book of Shadows? Not a great film, but I think it's good cheesy fun.
Hills Have Eyes 2 some nice gore effects, but that's about it. No real plot, annoying and stupid characters and no suspense at all.
Actaully Book of Shadows is a real guilty pleasure of mine, I like it a lot. If you don't set it into relation to the first one, it's very enjoyable. The gothic chick character is perfect for the film and memorable.
Maniac, Basket Case, Val Lewton - I walked with a zombie, From beyond the grave, Lon Chaney sr is my favourite horror actor -
The Unkown & Laugh clown laugh (neither of which are horror!)
I just watched Abby (Black exorcist) Fucking shitty print - Not sure what else I'll do - l have prob 400 horror dvds!! Might do Phantasm 2. Orig Hills have eyes, Martyrs & Cutting moments. LOL
dog soldiers was surpise, good werewolf film, some jokes works only for europeans i guess, i have here unwatched h5 and h6, real bargains, maybe i watch h6 first, continuation of this series is what it is. theres some unofficial producers cut of this one, whats that about
Update: I'm watching The Howling right now. I couldn't ignore all of the positive comments about it. Was that Roger Corman who stepped into the phone booth near the beginning of the film? Had to be.
for halloween i watch halloween themed films that what i watch.. on friday the 13th i watch the friday the 13th movies. other days/nights i atch general horror or general films
Here are some movies that need to be on a Halloween list. 1) the entity 2) clownhouse 3) hell night 4) tourist trap 5) trick or treat 6) night of the demons (original). these are movies that are great that many people dont talk about after the early 90's horror movies fell to shit and there wasn't alot good movies coming out. so check these out and i promise u wont be disappointed.
@horror408 Great, thanks for your list! The Entity is awesome, and can be watched repeatedly, IMO. I may replace Ed Gein with Hell Night in my stack..
Let's keep the discussion going, everyone! Throw out your picks for Halloween viewing. I have a question about The Howling. How many of you saw this as a kid? Is it one of those movies that I can enjoy just as much as an adult? Or is it one of those nostalgic films that one cherishes from the teen years?
oh man u haven't seen hell night that movie is a classic. if u like send me a address or p.o box and ill send u a copy of trick or treat i have like 4 copies i know its out of print so it might be hard to find. its not a problem.
@horror408 Sure thing man, it's CMM PO Box 173 Landrum, SC 29356. I'll let you know what i think. :) Hell Night isn't in my stack, but I do want to see it soon.
You'll dig they live - pretty cool Carpenter. Howling is okay - Not as big on it as many, Joe Dante is cool though. Ed Gein I saw one version, don't think it was Kane Hodder - Light on gore, worth a watch - Go Ed! Blair Witch I love. That's a good stack bro. I need to check out HHE remake. LOL
Dog soldiers is a great brit horror although he did up the game with the descent,prince of darkness is great although i consider they live to be more sci fi its still a good movie.My list is creepshow,the fog(origonal),the amicus collection inc asylum,dr terrors house of horror etc,creep which is another good brit horror unfluenced by the underground tube scene in american werewolf,re animator,quatermass and the pit which i think was released in the us as 5 million years to earth,its a classic.
@groucho69ful I watched The Pit. It's on one of the Anchor Bay drive in double feature releases. The other one on the disc being Hellgate. But you're talking about the tv show Quatermass and The Pit, right?
@cackalackymovies no the film version made by hammer in 1967 and it starred Andrew Kerr as quatermas,its an old film but its got an eerieness about it,again its got a london undrground theme.if you can get hold of them there,s three good brit horror movies creep as i mentioned ,the cottage and severence,all worth a look.hope you guys have a good halloween,and keep up the good work, always look forward to your vids.
Nice picks dude, prince of darkness and they live are solid choices (i have always felt that they live was more of a bridge flick, sci fi horror and action), good fun too!. Never viewed Dog Soldiers yet, let us know what the lowdown is on that one dude. Have a happy and safe h-ween!
awesome vid man. a good movie to watch on Halloween is "Hell Night" starring Linda Blair thats a good movie that is forgotten. i guess u haven't had any luck finding that trick or treat movie i was telling you about with Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons? Have a happy halloween buddy. im spending my Halloween trying to finish up my horror tattoo sleeve.
I'm a big fan of the Halloween series, but H2O is a shitter of a film. Maybe it's because it's so much like Scream, another film I cannot stand to watch again. I'll be watching the rest of the Halloween series tomorrow night. Today, I'm not sure. Maybe some original TCM and Special Edition Child's Play. Good video. Thanks for sharing.
@LexiconTWR I understand about H2O and Scream, etc... Had I been in a different, more discerning mood when I first saw those films, I probably would have hated them too. Watched the original TCM earlier in the month. It was my 2 disc ultimate edition (steelbook, hell yeah!). The film was restored, and upscales nicely. Honestly, I don't think I'm going to buy the Bluray.
@cackalackymovies The steel book looks great. For me though, the shittier the quality of TCM the better it is. I actually decided to start my horror movie marathon with Tales from the Hood lol
I love The Thing and The Howling. To me The Howling is the best werewolf film I've seen. Scared me to death when I was younger.
I really liked Halloween H20, but the film after that really made me mad. I've tried watching more of the Halloween series, but I just can't get into them. I love the first two though. I think I'll watch the Rob zombie re-makes sometime.
Film I'm watching this halloween: Lady In White, The Fog, The Orphanage, and some others. I've seen a few already
@dmfriend25 Oh yeah, Resurrection to me is the only one out of the bunch that I consider to be completely unwatchable. The re-makes have grown on me. They started to become a secret guilty pleasure, but fudge that, I'm out in the open with the remakes baby! Ohhhh, Lady In White has perfect atmosphere for Halloween viewing. That's kind of a forgotten gem there.
@cackalackymovies Yeah, I LOVE Lady in White. We watched Arachnophobia last night. Another favorite of mine. It's scary and nostalgic to me, because I'm arachnophobic myself. I recently watched Last House on the Left, and I enjoyed it. The last 15 minutes of the movie made the movie for me. Gotta love Wes Craven. :)
@cackalackymovies Yeah it does. it's one of those movies where you kinda know where it's going but it's still a great time getting there. plus i'm a huge fan of mickey rourke and robert de niro plays his character to the hilt. can't say enough about it.
@cackalackymovies i am also going to see Dawn of the death (remake), Paranormal activity 1 (again), Nightmare on elm street 3, Case 39, halloween 2 (remake) and other random horror movies.
the thing..best carpenter..period..the howling is great..robs effects work is incredible my friend..the hills have eyes 2 is poor...where is trick r treat or drag me to hell??
@brewt1mer Let me tell you, I think Trick r Treat and Drag Me To Hell (Sam Raimi in top form, a worthy successor to the Evil Dead movies) would be fantastic top notch choices for watching on Halloween. The fact that I own them on Bluray makes it even better. I keep hearing great things about The Howling, can't wait to see it.
Piper is the man in They Live, the fight scene from this movie in the alley is also in a episode of South Park called Cripple Fight, between Timmy and Jimmy.
Feast 2 is a sloppy,gory,nasty and funny film, part 3 is good too but the end will have you going WTF?
Definitely watch The Howling it's a classic werewolf movie, i've watched it countless times!! Feast 2 & 3 are pretty nice & fun films, where all kinds of bodily fluids fly all over the place!! Have a great horror movie marathon & Happy Halloween =)
@Dayofthedead1976 Will do on The Howling. Seems to be a common refrain on here that The Howling is one of the best out of the bunch. I love Halloween 4! It has the perfect atmosphere to it. Honestly, it's the first one I reach for, after the original, when i'm in the mood for a Halloween movie. Yeah, this is the first year that I haven't planned out my movies to watch. This stack just sort of grew into my Halloween stack. Phantasm I watched earlier in the month. What insanity, lol.

Oh oh, better skip "Hill have Eyes 2". I loved the first remake too, but this one sucks balls. Shame it was made by a German director.
"Blair Witch" is probably the best selection for Halloween of this bunch. Pure masterpiece.

@ItsMeTNG Yeah, I haven't been hearing good things about this version of Ed Gein. Thanks for watching!
cackalackymovies 1 year ago
The Howling is by far on the same page as American Werewolf in London it also has the Late John Carridine, Slim Pickens in it too a 8/10 in my book!
patfacetheblackwing 1 year ago
@patfacetheblackwing The Howling seems to be the most loved film in my stack.
cackalackymovies 1 year ago
You'll dig they live - pretty cool Carpenter. Howling is okay - Not as big on it as many, Joe Dante is cool though. Ed Gein I saw one version, don't think it was Kane Hodder - Light on gore, worth a watch - Go Ed! Blair Witch I love. That's a good stack bro. I need to check out HHE remake. LOL

@broken1394 Thanks! You have some picks for Halloween?
cackalackymovies 1 year ago
Dog soldiers is a great brit horror although he did up the game with the descent,prince of darkness is great although i consider they live to be more sci fi its still a good movie.My list is creepshow,the fog(origonal),the amicus collection inc asylum,dr terrors house of horror etc,creep which is another good brit horror unfluenced by the underground tube scene in american werewolf,re animator,quatermass and the pit which i think was released in the us as 5 million years to earth,its a classic.
groucho69ful 1 year ago
@groucho69ful I watched The Pit. It's on one of the Anchor Bay drive in double feature releases. The other one on the disc being Hellgate. But you're talking about the tv show Quatermass and The Pit, right?
cackalackymovies 1 year ago
@cackalackymovies no the film version made by hammer in 1967 and it starred Andrew Kerr as quatermas,its an old film but its got an eerieness about it,again its got a london undrground theme.if you can get hold of them there,s three good brit horror movies creep as i mentioned ,the cottage and severence,all worth a look.hope you guys have a good halloween,and keep up the good work, always look forward to your vids.
groucho69ful 1 year ago
@groucho69ful Ok, will keep an eye out for those. Thanks for the kind words, and have a good Halloween yourself!
cackalackymovies 1 year ago
Nice picks dude, prince of darkness and they live are solid choices (i have always felt that they live was more of a bridge flick, sci fi horror and action), good fun too!. Never viewed Dog Soldiers yet, let us know what the lowdown is on that one dude. Have a happy and safe h-ween!

@EnduranceProductions Sure thing, man and you have a good one too!!

awesome vid man. a good movie to watch on Halloween is "Hell Night" starring Linda Blair thats a good movie that is forgotten. i guess u haven't had any luck finding that trick or treat movie i was telling you about with Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons? Have a happy halloween buddy. im spending my Halloween trying to finish up my horror tattoo sleeve.
horror408 1 year ago
@horror408 No, I still haven't run across a copy of Trick or Treat. I'll be on the lookout for Hell Night as well.
cackalackymovies 1 year ago
They Live is so badass. Hopefully you'll like it too. Dog Soldier is a pretty good one too. Happy watching.

@reelSinema Cool, thanks for the input. Any movies you'd like to share for Halloween watching?
cackalackymovies 1 year ago
I'm a big fan of the Halloween series, but H2O is a shitter of a film. Maybe it's because it's so much like Scream, another film I cannot stand to watch again. I'll be watching the rest of the Halloween series tomorrow night. Today, I'm not sure. Maybe some original TCM and Special Edition Child's Play. Good video. Thanks for sharing.
LexiconTWR 1 year ago
@LexiconTWR I understand about H2O and Scream, etc... Had I been in a different, more discerning mood when I first saw those films, I probably would have hated them too. Watched the original TCM earlier in the month. It was my 2 disc ultimate edition (steelbook, hell yeah!). The film was restored, and upscales nicely. Honestly, I don't think I'm going to buy the Bluray.
cackalackymovies 1 year ago
@cackalackymovies The steel book looks great. For me though, the shittier the quality of TCM the better it is. I actually decided to start my horror movie marathon with Tales from the Hood lol
LexiconTWR 1 year ago
Great picks!
I love The Thing and The Howling. To me The Howling is the best werewolf film I've seen. Scared me to death when I was younger.
I really liked Halloween H20, but the film after that really made me mad. I've tried watching more of the Halloween series, but I just can't get into them. I love the first two though. I think I'll watch the Rob zombie re-makes sometime.
Film I'm watching this halloween: Lady In White, The Fog, The Orphanage, and some others. I've seen a few already
dmfriend25 1 year ago
@dmfriend25 Oh yeah, Resurrection to me is the only one out of the bunch that I consider to be completely unwatchable. The re-makes have grown on me. They started to become a secret guilty pleasure, but fudge that, I'm out in the open with the remakes baby! Ohhhh, Lady In White has perfect atmosphere for Halloween viewing. That's kind of a forgotten gem there.
cackalackymovies 1 year ago
@cackalackymovies Yeah, I LOVE Lady in White. We watched Arachnophobia last night. Another favorite of mine. It's scary and nostalgic to me, because I'm arachnophobic myself. I recently watched Last House on the Left, and I enjoyed it. The last 15 minutes of the movie made the movie for me. Gotta love Wes Craven. :)
dmfriend25 1 year ago
other movies I plan to watch is Angel Heart and Teeth
mentokthemilfspunker 1 year ago
@mentokthemilfspunker Angel Heart, interesting choice. Def. has nice, moody atmosphere.
cackalackymovies 1 year ago
@cackalackymovies Yeah it does. it's one of those movies where you kinda know where it's going but it's still a great time getting there. plus i'm a huge fan of mickey rourke and robert de niro plays his character to the hilt. can't say enough about it.
mentokthemilfspunker 1 year ago
I loved feast but the second and third is awful there funny but as movies they suck.

@TheMoviefreak300 Awesome, let me know what you think. Watching anything else for Halloween?
cackalackymovies 1 year ago
@cackalackymovies i am also going to see Dawn of the death (remake), Paranormal activity 1 (again), Nightmare on elm street 3, Case 39, halloween 2 (remake) and other random horror movies.
TheMoviefreak300 1 year ago
They Live and Prince of Darkness are awesome movies!

cackalackymovies 1 year ago
the thing..best carpenter..period..the howling is great..robs effects work is incredible my friend..the hills have eyes 2 is poor...where is trick r treat or drag me to hell??
brewt1mer 1 year ago
@brewt1mer Let me tell you, I think Trick r Treat and Drag Me To Hell (Sam Raimi in top form, a worthy successor to the Evil Dead movies) would be fantastic top notch choices for watching on Halloween. The fact that I own them on Bluray makes it even better. I keep hearing great things about The Howling, can't wait to see it.
cackalackymovies 1 year ago
Piper is the man in They Live, the fight scene from this movie in the alley is also in a episode of South Park called Cripple Fight, between Timmy and Jimmy.
Feast 2 is a sloppy,gory,nasty and funny film, part 3 is good too but the end will have you going WTF?
Happy Halloween.

@AtomicKingZilla Roddy Piper, Jayzus he was hilariously bad in Hell Comes To Frogtown. Sloppy, gory, nasty, lol. sounds great.

Definitely watch The Howling it's a classic werewolf movie, i've watched it countless times!! Feast 2 & 3 are pretty nice & fun films, where all kinds of bodily fluids fly all over the place!! Have a great horror movie marathon & Happy Halloween =)

@rondontori13 I'm really starting to look forward to The Howling with all of these comments here. Thanks man, you have a Happy Halloween yourself!
cackalackymovies 1 year ago
Ed Gein with Steve Railsback is amazing, he blew me away with his portrayal...a real Mama's boy Ed was.
I love the Howling, nice pick. Watch the extras when done.
Halloween 4 is by far my fave sequel.
The Hills Have Eyes part 2 ( 1985 ) is such a fun film to watch, Pluto rocks. I am one of those anti remake people.
I watch Phantasm, Halloween, a Romero film, Vincent Price films, Black Christmas...I spruce it up every yr for fun with the movie picks.
Dayofthedead1976 1 year ago
@Dayofthedead1976 Will do on The Howling. Seems to be a common refrain on here that The Howling is one of the best out of the bunch. I love Halloween 4! It has the perfect atmosphere to it. Honestly, it's the first one I reach for, after the original, when i'm in the mood for a Halloween movie. Yeah, this is the first year that I haven't planned out my movies to watch. This stack just sort of grew into my Halloween stack. Phantasm I watched earlier in the month. What insanity, lol.
cackalackymovies 1 year ago
@cackalackymovies The reason I don't stick to a schedule with my marathon...the mood changes yr to yr.
I do have the Carpenter set, just a slimmer case, better storage....I loved the score for Village of the Damned.
The classic Halloween has to be the shit, I consider part two an extension and not a sequel. Part 4....I love Rachel, she's such an awesome character.
You will love The Howling. There is a morphing scene you'll get a kick out of.
Phantasm is my fave horror series.
Dayofthedead1976 1 year ago

Awesome picks Krazy Jason!!
They Live and Prince of Darkness are great films. Prince of Darkness used to creep me out.
Halloween: The Extended Version is awesome.
I really enjoy Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. It gets mixed reviews,but I love it. Halloween H20 is great!!
What?? The Howling is a classic and one of my favourite werwolf films.
The Hills Have Eyes 2 is pretty good. The Blair Witch Project is awesome!
Rhine1988 1 year ago
@Rhine1988 Thanks for your thoughts on my picks! Re: The Howling. I know, I know. I should have my nad satchel bashed with bricks.
