Favorite Movie Titles - Halloween Edition!

-
I've been racking my brain over what to do as a Halloween theme this year. I've done lists, horror themed Indie Gems, films that scared me, but since I've been on a movie/TV title kick this year, I figured it fit. Here's a list of my favorite Halloween/Horror/Thriller related titles. Keep in mind, I don't necessarily like these movies, but their titles are awesome.
An American Werewolf in London
Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Cannibal Holocaust
Dead Hooker in a Trunk
Event Horizon
Fright Night
Ginger Snaps
Hatchet
I Saw The Devil

Jaws
Killer Klowns from Outerspace
Let The Right One In
Midnight Meat Train
Nightmare on Elm Street
Orca: The Killer Whale

Planet Terror
Queen of the Damned
Red, White, and Blue
Sleepaway Camp
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Underworld
Valley of the Zombies
Wicked Little Things

Xtro
You're Next
Zombie Strippers

    That's a pretty good list of titles. Most of these I only know by name but they seem like pretty good titles even if the films they came from didn't sound too good.

    If you're looking for some Halloween-related activities, you could try joining in the horror-themed blogathon I've been doing. There's only three days left and only two people have contributed, so it would be nice if could get a few other people before it finishes:

      I saw that when you first posted it, but I couldn't think of anything!. I'll try to give it so more thought.

    Nice group of titles you got there. And, not for nothing, I think I Saw the Devil is a fantastic film.

      Yes, it truly is. It's a shame they're remaking it. It will probably end up like Oldboy.

      Adam Wingard the Director behind You're Next and The Guest will be helming the remake so it may not be so bad. We can only see

      I hope not, but I'm going to set my expectations at rock bottom just in case. :)

      Yes! I almost put Hobo With A Shotgun in there too, but I thought that would be pushing it for the Grindhouse division.

      So do I! It was way better than Death Proof.

      I agree, which really sucks. I really liked the "girl powerness" going on in Death Proof...

      I liked that too, but I felt like a lot of their conversations dragged on far too long. Especially for a film that was meant to be a double feature with Planet Terror.

      Great to see I Saw The Devil and Red, Ehite and Blue there! I can still feel the bruise of those vengeance. Uh.
      Anyway, I'd love to see The Evil Dead there... Or Tucker and Dale vs Evil :)

      Tucker and Dale vs Evil is a good one! I Liked that way more than I expected to.

    You've got some good titles in there (and a few I've never heard of too!).

    Missing for me are E = The Exorcist, O = The Omen, S = Saw

      I actually had Exorcist and Omen there first, but then I thought the titles I picked were better. (Even though Exorcist and Omen are far better films)

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing Bobby, and the

Indie Gems: Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Passionate about your profession? I had never heard of this film until it ended up on one of Jason's favorite horror movie lists around Halloween. It immediately sounded interesting to me, so of course I threw it in my Netflix queue. (and if I'm just now watching it after adding it around Halloween, you know how ridiculous my queue is) Taylor (Angela Goethals) is a journalist who, along with a film crew decides to follow around a serial killer named Leslie Vernon. (Nathan Baesel) He plans on doing the typical slasher thing - getting a bunch of drunk teens in an abandoned house and knocking them off one by one. He gets advice from a retired serial killer, Eugene (Scott Wilson) and is threatened by a man who's on to him, Doc Holloran (Robert Englund) Taylor and crew are there capturing it all. Leslie Vernon is fucking hilarious to start with, and clearly very passionate about what he does. He tells Taylor all of his secrets and can barely contain his excitemen

Earlier this week I made a post where I ran through the letters of the alphabet with my favorite movie titles. There were a few people that suggested I turn it into a blogathon, and I've never done that before. So here goes nothing! Since this is my first attempt at a blogathon, it's all pretty simple, and it's hopefully a quick post that everyone can join in. Rules: 1) Going through the alphabet, list your favorite movie title beginning with each letter.  2) You don't have to necessarily  like the movie to use it's title.  3) Use the banner at the top of this post in yours. 4) Please have submissions in by Friday, May 30th*. (But I'll be honest, if you send them to me after that date, I'll still add them to my post.) You can either leave a link to your post in the comments here or tweet it to me, ( @ramblingfilm )  Thanks everyone! :)  *I had to move the date back a week due to Photobucket threatening me with bandwidth issues. But
