Horror movies and scary music are really the easiest and sometimes best way to enjoy and revel in the Halloween spirit. And I’m talking about more than the theme from Ghostbusters or the Monster Mash… even though it certainly was a graveyard smash… haha.
Who doesn’t like a good Horror movie? Whether it’s the centerpiece of your Halloween theme event or party or just background ambiance-building stuff, it’s essentially the most easily recognized aspect of the ‘terror’ of Halloween.
You can’t really describe how good and effective Halloween music and especially movies are. You have to experience it for yourself. Here’s a list that’s already out of date with new movies coming on all the time. But for your Halloween pleasure, I’ll give you this little test. There’s 187 films I listed here. See how much of a Halloween pro you are via the key below”
COUNT HOW MANY MOVIES FROM THE LIST BELOW THAT YOU HAVE FULLY WATCHED!
0-5 – Whoops. You click on the wrong site link. You definitely don’t belong here at all. I think you meant to go here
4-20 – Pathetic. Do you even know what Halloween is? Go watch the Care Bears movie. I think they carve a pumpkin in an episode (don’t worry it’s a smiley faced pumpkin!).
21-100 – Still got a long way to go. This is about the average viewing category. Maybe if you inserted some Saw movies in with your Christmas movie viewing, you’d accomplish more. Quit slacking.
101-135 – You’re passion is Halloween and you’ve made a good run at the film-watching of the genre. I can be friends with you. 🙂
136-175 – You don’t have a job right? I mean to see this number of movies, you are certainly the Master or Professor of Halloween Filmography
176-186 – You know when you see a movie about a guy dying of a rare disease and seeks out the one doctor who is like the world’s best in that field? Well YOU are that guy in the Halloween realm.
187 – You’re either a bold liar… or I bow to your greatness. You ARE the Halloween King.
