It’s Halloween-time, and when the air gets colder and the nights get shorter, a scary movie with your pals sounds about perfect. For those who don’t want to get to the theatres to see “Sinister” this week, popping a spooky DVD in and wrapping up in a warm blanket is a sure bet. But what to watch?

You’ll hear the usual responses: “The Evil Dead“, “The Exorcist”, “Psycho”, “The Omen”, “The Blair Witch Project”, and so on and so forth. But who doesn’t at least already know the premise of most of these movies? Where’s the surprise when everyone already knows (SPOILER) that Norman Bates is the killer dressed as his own mother?

I can’t wait to start watching some of these titles, and to share them with you so that you can have a surprising evening of horror, at home under your favorite blanket.

Our first scary flick on this list is 2007′s excellent horror anthology ”Trick ‘r Treat”, one of the few on this list that I actually have seen, and can wholeheartedly agree that it is a wonderfully refreshing and scary experience. Many thanks go out to @Ponderiss, @HavenOfHorror, @cheshirevenom, and @brianredfern for this wonderfully spooky suggestion…
