FAVORITE:

Haunted Houses.

If a movie is about a haunted house, I will watch it. I’ll probably get pretty scared, but it is all worth it. I have never been to a house or place that was haunted, and while I really would like to, I’d probably chicken out and not go.

I highly recommend The Haunted Mansion ride at Disney, it’s a fun fun ride. And I always try to go into the Haunted House at the State Fair. I’ve never gotten to any of those haunted hayrides or corn mazes, although I would really love to, one of these times maybe.


HALLOWEEN MUST WATCH MOVIES:

House on Haunted Hill (the original), The Haunting (the remake), & Stephen King’s Rose Red

Usually, the original version of a movie is the best. Many times, I enjoy the remake just as much. Rarely, I like the remake better than the original.

Movie Descriptions:

House on Haunted Hill (1959):  Eccentric millionaire Frederick Loren. He and his fourth wife, Annabelle, have invited five people to the house for a “haunted house” party. Whoever stays in the house for one night will earn $10,000. As the night progresses, all the guests are trapped inside the house with ghosts, murderers, and other terrors.

The Haunting (1999): For over a century, the dark and forbidding Hill House has sat alone and abandoned…or so it seemed. Intrigued by the mansion’s storied past, Dr. Marrow lures his three subjects – Theo, Nell and Luke – to the site for a seemingly harmless experiment. But, from the moment of their arrival, Nell seems mysteriously drawn to the house…and the attraction is frighteningly mutual. When night descends, the study goes horrifyingly awry as the subjects discover the haunting secrets that live within the walls of Hill House.

Stephen King’s Rose Red (2002): The chilling tale of Dr. Joyce Reardon, an obsessed psychology professor who commissions a team of psychics and a gifted 15-year-old autistic girl, Annie Wheaton, to literally wake up a supposedly dormant haunted mansion – Rose Red. Their efforts unleash myriad spirits and uncover horrifying secrets of the generations who have lived and died there.
