I Enjoy Being Terrified: Movies To Watch On Halloween

Pinky McLadybits

I am extremely disappointed with the horror movies available to me via Netflix and the three billion pay channels we have right now through Directv. Sure, I can watch some excellent horror on AMC or SyFy, but they are cut all to hell (and not in the slasher kind of way) and leave out the good bits. Plus, the good horror movies are elusive, leaving more room in the schedule for Pumpkinhead 45: We Hired Monosyllabic Landscapers As Actors. The REVENGE!

It's terrible. 

I've decided to make a list of the movies I wish I could watch right now, but can't because of first world problems and not wanting to pay more money out than I already am to rent them. Ugh. Feel free to add your favorite scary movie in the comments.

Halloween is almost here.  Are you preparing by watching your favorite horror movies?  I love classics like "The Thing," but if you're looking for something a little more recent, here's a list of the 10 best horror flicks from the last two years.  Can't argue with #1! (Forbes)

Speaking of horror movies, here are the celebs you didn't want to see die in their respective films.  Spoilers abound, obviously.  (Crushable)

If you're really looking for a good scare, though, forget the movies.  Head to your library or bookstore and look for one of these spooky novels!  I definitely recommend any of H.P. Lovecraft's work if you want something to give you some lingering heebie-jeebies.  (io9)

As far as real life horror goes, the whole eastern seaboard is preparing for Hurricane Sandy to hit this week.  Please, if you're in the storm's predicted path, take precautions and stay safe!  (Boing Boing)

It's Friday, I'm In MEH.

Can you believe that The Sopranos debuted in 1999? It makes me feel terribly old, along with the soon-to-be eight years old child I have and my upcoming 12 year dating anniversary with the husband. Anyway, enjoy this retrospective of the show through the words of the people that lived it. (Vanity Fair)

This is an amazingly thoughtful, loving, and funny look at gay marriage (aka marriage) by someone that labels herself Christian. Bonus brother, hee! (Persephone Magazine)

Do you need more proof that Fiona Apple is cooler than most of us will ever be? Check out her handwritten note to a high school student about a gay-straight alliance. (Vulture)

I like Twilight. I have the movies. I have all the RiffTrax to go with the movies. I went to the midnight showing of Eclipse ( I think it was that one..). But I'm not obsessed. Not like this crazy bird. (d-listed)
