<p>I’m not too big on being scrared, but as I recall Buffy the Vampire Slayer had some good Halloween episodes.</p>
<p>The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, with Rebecca de Mornay was very scary.</p>
<p>Fury with Amy Irving.
The Omen</p>
<p>Who can forget “The Shining”…Jack Nicholson in his terrifying role, and the great setting in that hotel and snow</p>
<p>I loved “Don’t Look Now”</p>
<p>I haven’t seen “Blair Witch Project”, nor “Paranormal Activity” but people say both are scary…particularly the latter one that just came out. One could avoid forests after seeing the former, but how do you avoid sleeping in your own bedroom after seeing the new one?</p>
<p>I have to say, I found The Blair Witch Project completely terrifying. I know some people found it silly–the camera too jiggly, the incessant use of the f— word, but for somebody like me who did a lot of camping when I was younger, and has been lost in the woods more than once, well, YIKES! I found it disturbing for a while after watching it.</p>
<p>I told my friend she had to watch it, and she was watching it with her husband and her sister and they both fell asleep, so she was really watching by herself torwards the end. The next day, she and her husband were out house hunting and visiting all the open houses. She wandered down some stairs to a particularly grim basement, and so for a joke she decided she’d stand facing into the corner–which is a horrible moment in the movie. She thought it would really scare her dh–forgetting of course that he slept through the end–so her husband–and the realtor that followed him down the stairs, were really confused why she was standing in the corner.</p>
<p>My personal favorite out of all my kids’ halloween costumes: the year DD went out dressed as an Ant, and DS (3 years older) went with her dressed as an exterminator.</p>
<p>Giving this a BUMP for scout59.</p>
<p>My wife is an awesome Halloween decorator and costume-maker. Last weekend I got a sneak preview of my daughter’s costume. She’s a vampire! My wife took her out and got the whole repertoire: black lace dress, red black widow markings, an ancient-looking cross, a jet-black wig, black lipstick and eye makeup. Spoooky! My daughter is currently into the Twilight series, so this should be no surprise.</p>
<p>We also went to a pumpkin patch. Picking out pumpkins on a cool, overcast Fall day has to be my favorite Halloween activity!</p>
