Since Halloween is just around the corner, I thought we might want to jump on Lee's best Christmas films thread and get one going for the best super 8 Halloween titles. I will start things off:

Dracula (aka Horror of Dracula) 3 x 600ft Derann
Masque of the Red Death 3 x 600ft Derann
Trick or Treat 1 x 200ft Disney
Psycho 1 x 400ft Universal 8

--------------------
The best of all worlds- 8mm, super 8mm, 9.5mm, and HD Digital Projection,
Elmo GS1200 f1.0 2-blade
Eumig S938 Stereo f1.0 Ektar
Panasonic PT-AE4000U digital pj

I don't think Halloween is generally as big a deal here in the UK as is in America so it isn't the kind of thing I tend to think requires a special film show night for.

If I did try to celebrate it with a film show I can honestly only think of 3 films that I possess that are appropriate though I did have Devil Rides Out like Paul has when previously in the hobby.

The 3 I could celebrate Halloween with is two already mentioned here, Psycho 400ft U8 cut down, the 2x400ft cut down of Carrie and the feature Poltergeist.

I'd love one of the Halloween prints like Paul has one day
As I equally would love to have the full version of "The Fog" also one day.

Just thought of a couple more but haven't watched either for a long time.

Fright 4x 400ft Walton Fuji print and another already mentioned..Gremlins.

The Vampire and Dracula stuff isn't really my bag but it'd be good to have for any Halloween film night.

You beat me to the punch Lee-

"Abott & Costello meet Frankenstien" 200 foot Castle is like the perfect super 8 Halloween treat.

A few other fun ones are "Franken-Stimied" (Woody Woodpecker cartoon- find a black & white print [Wink]

[Wink]

)

"Hide & Shriek", Little Rascals short;

"Spooks", Ub Irwirks cartoon.

In fact, an assortment of most any of the old Castle Universal digests work very well.

The Derann print of Tim Burton's Vincent is great for a Halloween show. Lee mentioned the Betty Boop Halloween Party, I'd also add Minnie the Moocher with its singing ghosts.

Hi Guys,

My selection will be Halloween - with the great Donald Pleasance and Jamie Lee Curtis, then if not one of my Hammer features - a selection of Hammer trailers and maybe the Walton 2x400ft of The Curse of the Crimson Alter- with Christopher Lee and Boris Karloff, possibly Popeye and the Phantom, then the 3 x 400ft of The Exorcist and I might finish with the classic Veronica Lake and Frederic March in "I Married a Witch". Cracking stuff.
