Everyone’s favorite childhood book series is finally a movie. With Jack Black playing host in this slightly-spooky-mostly-funny version of R.L. Stine’s literary masterpieces, the nostalgia and Halloween feels will overwhelm you.

Old, dramatic cult movies are sometimes the absolute best for Halloween. What happens when you cross a poorly tested teleportation machine with a fly and a human? Well, we’re not going to tell you if you haven’t seen it.

Extraordinary Tales

Guillermo del Toro directs this beautifully animated, super obscure film you need to see. The movie follows 5 classic, genuinely scary Edgar Allen Poe stories narrated by horror icons like Bella Lugosi and Christopher Lee.

Addams Family Values

Addams Family Values is a perennial Halloween treasure – they’re everyone’s favorite smacabre family. It’s supernatural, it’s dark, it’s hilarious, and we can’t wait to watch it again and again, even after the spooky season ends.

Underworld

Have you ever called a vampire movie stylish or sleek before? Kate Beckinsale stars as a vampire warrior, caught in a war with the werewolf race. We love this film for its visually striking detail and action sequences.

Sweeney Todd

It’s a musical and a slasher flick all rolled up into one expertly-cast and directed film. Starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and other stars, and directed by Tim Burton, it’s a bloody, addictive Halloween favorite.

Netflix Conflix: Happy Halloween

Can’t decide what to watch and record? We’re here to the rescue! There’s no better time all year than the week of Halloween (yes, we consider it a week-long holiday) to watch horror films. On this edition of “Netflix Conflix” we’ve rounded up some of the scary picks that Netflix is currently offering through streaming that you should record with Replay Video Capture before they disappear online – plus, you can keep them in your arsenal for next Halloween! Need help recording from Netflix? Just watch this helpful tutorial:


Fright Night
: Time has done this film well. This is the movie that re-imagined vampires for a whole generation, in fact, a generation that re-created the vampire into your worst Twilight-related nightmare. Regardless, Fright Night still provides something fun for everyone and we would also recommend the Colin Ferrel re-boot from 2011 that’s shockingly on-point with the classic.

Detention: This is a horror film with serious ADD. But its fast-paced wit makes it nervously enjoyable. Chalk-full of 90s / 00s pop culture references that keep it funny and on the comedy-side of things. No doubt, in a few years, this will be a cult hit. If you “get it” then you’ll enjoy the film — not a horror film for everyone and prepare yourself for a story that jumps all over the place.

The StuffIf you want something straight-up funny, make sure you keep The Stuff around for genuine giggles. The special effects are campy as they try to make infesting goo seem scary. (Hint: it’s not) But the acting is surprisingly great and there’s enough 80s ridiculousness to have a delightful viewing — you just might want to choose something other than yogurt, ice cream, or whipped cream to eat while watching.


All The Boys Love Mandy LaneThis movie isn’t particularly scary. But it’s uniquely suspenseful. The characters are heightened stereotypes and Amber Heard is (as always) pretty darn good-looking, but there’s something that keeps it all entertaining. In typical slasher-flick style, this group of teenagers is sex-crazy and totally over-the-top. Expect gore and an interesting twist at the end.


Hellraiser:
Since this was the first sighting of Pinhead, and created a franchise that lasts nine movies and almost three decades, it’s worth getting a look at just why this created such a stir. Sure, it’s got the effects of your typical 80s horror movie, but Hellraiser does an astonishing job with makeup tricks and in-camera effects that make it worth watching. Also, if you don’t think the zombie-corpse crawling across the floor isn’t freaky, then we don’t know what is.
