What to watch and listen on Halloween.

Well, tomorrow is Halloween.  And I like to recommend three films and three albums to enjoy with your family and friends.

FILMS


INSIDE


This French film is not for the squeamish.  It involves a pregnant woman who is being terrorize by a woman who's on a mission.  Lot's of blood.  A very creepy atmosphere.  And a great soundtrack.  There's one scene that makes no sense, but it won't ruin the film that much.

 [REC] 2


If you've seen Quarantine, do yourself a favor and watch the original Spanish version, [REC].  After that, watch it's awesome sequel, [REC] 2.  There are two scenes where we see the POV shots of two of the SWAT team members.  And they're awesome. 

MONSTER SQUAD


Some kids wanted to be Goonies.  I wanted to be a Monster Squad.  This is more fun than horror.  If you're a fan of the Universal Monsters, then you'll dig this flick.  It's really cute and awesome.  The dialogue can be cheesy, but of course this was from the 80's.  That's not a bad thing.


MUSIC



FANTOMAS - "THE DIRECTOR'S CUT"


Most of the songs on this albums are covers of film soundtracks.  My top 3 tracks are "Rosemary's Baby", "The Omen", and "Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer".

ABRUPTUM - "EVIL GENIUS"



Last year when I was passing out candy to fellow trick or treaters, I played this album for background music.  The horror in people's faces when they were walking up the door.  And the fact that the singer is a dwarf really makes it scary.

MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE - "HALLOWEEN MUSIC COLLECTION"



Honestly, any Midnight Syndicate album will do.  But because this album was made for this special occasion, why not?  If you enjoy original horror soundtracks, then you'll love this album.
