Halloween Film List


This is The Media Mentalist's recommended Halloween watch for you all........

1) The Thing



Carpenter's peak in his career, getting great performances from Ernest Borgnine and Kurt Russell. Basically, group of scientists in an isolated research station in Arctic get struck by a monster which imitates other lifeforms, including humans. Who is infected and who will survive. This definitely is worth a watch. Here is the infamous blood test scene.



2) The Monster Squad



Hard to find but definitely worth it if you like your horror, Goonies style. Written by Shane Black of Lethal Weapon fame.



3) Evil Dead 1/2



The Evil Dead films are a must for people who want a good Halloween film. Story revolves around a group of people who go to a cabin in the woods and accidently unleash an evil spirit that kills them. The 1st film is for people who want to be scared, whilst the sequel has its fair share of jump moments, it is more of a horror comedy. Here is a scene where one of characters chops up his girlfriend who has become possessed.



And if you want to play some video games, Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil 4 are the best to scare the hell out of you.
