Halloween Movies: My Top 20
My 20 favorite Halloween movies (no, NIGHT OF THE DEMONS and HOCUS POCUS aren’t on it)
PIECES
If limb chopping and head-loppings were enough to make for a quality product then PIECES would be a masterpiece, but they aren’t and it’s not
X
A film that’s quite typical of Ti West’s filmography at its best and worst
THE BOOGEY MAN
One of the few movies by the late German auteur Ulli Lommel that’s of any worth, and it’s not even that good
STAGE FRIGHT (1987)
A rather important example of 1980s Italosploitation cinema
ALIENS
‘Nuff said!
THE SADNESS
An insanity plague, a Taiwan hospital and lots of gore–a fun film!
HALLOWEEN (2018)
In this 2018 film Hollywood’s war on originality reached new heights
DEADLINE
A halfway worthwhile film, meaning its first half is provocative and compelling, and its second not so much
BOTTOMFEEDER
A stand-out graphic novel from Eibon Press and the team of scripter Stephen Romano and artist Pat Carbajal
