Opis

People celebrate the magical holiday of Halloween in a wide variety of ways, but most will, at some point, turn off the lights and allow a movie to take the excitement to the next level. This book recommends over 100 titles that are guaranteed to make your Halloween fun and frightening Halloween only comes once a year, so you can't afford to waste precious thrill time on a lousy movie However, a great horror movie does not necessarily translate into a great Halloween flick, and the book uses a simple set of guidelines to help you avoid the boo blues: the films included here are fast paced, have essences of autumn (if they are not set on Halloween itself ), and have a trim run time (under two hours). Avoiding the mean-spirited and cruel movies more typical of horror offerings, the book also includes Halloween treats from multiple genres, in addition to horror: comedy, animation, science fiction, silent era, and foreign films, all ranging in popularity from blockbusters to the obscure. The films included are, above all, fun to watch and share with others In addition to descriptive film reviews, you will also find plenty of quirky trivia, various top 5 lists, and a special chapter devoted to the greatest Halloween television episodes of all time.
