Each year, we host an evening of
Halloween horror films, music and food for our fellow connoisseurs of film macabre. While costumes are optional, they are highly encouraged.
It's kind of a pre-Halloween,
put you in the mood party. We select some horror movies,
some classic, some newer, and plan a long night of movie
viewing. Some classics like the Halloween series are great.
We show Halloween 1, Halloween 2 and H20. Halloween 3:
Season of the Witch is great as well, although it has
nothing to do with the Michael Myers storyline. You can add
in some old classics as well, like Dracula, Frankenstein and
The Wolfman. Some newer horror films like Return of the
Living Dead, Scream and House on Haunted Hill are great
additions. Let your love of horror films be your guide. You
can find more suggestions at
FearfulFilms.com
We like to decorate for this event. Since
we are already gearing up for Halloween, decorating is a snap! Just
get out your usual Halloween decorations and go to town. On
occasion, we've held the party outside when weather permits. We'll
bring a TV outside and set it up with a VCR or DVD player. We'll
line up the lawn chairs, lounge chairs and camp chairs so every one
has place to set. Our picnic table is covered in a Halloween table
cloth and all food can be served from there. You could even get one
last grilling session in if you like. Free standing fire pits are
also available now at retailers, you could place the chairs around
it as the center piece and let people roast hot dogs and
marshmallows. Finally, set the
mood with appropriate music during intermissions. We like the Elvira
collection of Halloween music. There are three of them and
they feature both new and old Halloween music plus some
songs by Elvira herself. You can find all kinds of Halloween
music CD's at this time of year so the options are endless.
Check out our Hard Copy
section for more ideas.
This is a
great way to get yourself and your friends in a Halloween
mood. We've even done this through out the year on Friday
the 13th and showed all the Friday the 13th series.
