Jim Carey video was great!! I’ve had your button on my blog for a few days now and several of my readers have been stopping by for your contest.

Well, I’m overly fond of the Nightmare Before Christmas (that counts for Halloween, right?) so I’m going to have to post “What’s this?”

Haunted Honeymoon counts as a Halloween movie, right?

ok, I voted in the poll, posted a really cool promo for this event on my blog (lasergirl70.blogspot.com) and even included a banner. Here is my video pick.It’s the trailer for the Origianal Halloween movie by John CArpenter in 1978. My favorite Horror movie of all time. The trailer still gives me chills even though I have seen the movie hundreds of times!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LydgEmQWOp0
I also “tweeted” about the event on twitter (lasergirl70) and will post on my FB page http://www.facebook.com/lasergirl70)

Sarah W: I LOVE Monster Squad!!

I voted for the poll. Hopefully later I’ll be able to look up some videos on YouTube. The computer I’m on right now is not exactly YouTube friendly..
[Reply]
I can’t link to youtube, since it is behind the firewall, but I can tell you about my favorite Halloween show! The Great Pumpkin!
I’m sure there’s video on you tube about it!
And I’m off to vote now! Thanks PG!
[Reply]
I had to go for a silly Halloween video, but seriously, isn’t Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror V classic Halloween fun?!? :0)
“No TV and Beer make Homer somethin’, somethin’…”
“Crazy?”
“Don’t mind if I do….”

I honestly have not heard of The Vampire’s Assistant, but will check it out! I don’t get out much for movies these days… my 18 month old has made that a little tricky… so I probably won’t get to see the flick in the theater.

[Reply]
Ack my PC doesn’t like videos
so I’ll just say my favourite music video for Halloween as a child was ‘Thriller’
[Reply]
ha, I love that Dracula view on Edward Cullen — I was laughing for weeks about it, after I’d seen it.
Okay, so every halloween we get out the old movies and Beetlejuice is always in that collection — OMG I LOVE IT!
Day O Clip: Warning — Bad taste in clothing, terrible dancing, awful decor and a terrible dinner that jumps out at you!!

Its for animal costumes on YouTube! Gotta love it!
[Reply]
I forgot to say why I love it, though pretty obvious. I LOVE ANIMALS and think its the cutest and funniest thing to see them all dressed up and scowling, and still looking adorable!
[Reply]
I posted on my facebook. I love Halloween. Thanks for starting the celebration early.

It’s one of my favorite parts from one of my favorite movies (halloween movies) Evil dead 2. Where his own hand tried to kill him hehe. It may contain objectionable content!!!!!!! (its humors but it has violence.)
I also love this halloween movie, puppet masters.. this is the trailer for it.. it also may contain objectionable content!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS3OJ7xYfbw
Thanks for this, I also voted and I really hope I get to see this movie, it’s in my plans for sure!
[Reply]
I am hoping to see this!!!
[Reply]
I’m a bit biased, but this is one of my current favourite Halloween videos because I’m getting married on Halloween! We’re doing the Thriller dance to surprise the guests, and all of us will be in costume.

Not really one for horror movie, especially the kinds that my hubs watches. One Halloween, he and his cousin made me watch The Ring which really freaked me out.
But such movies as that above I absolutely love.
[Reply]
I did vote, and if I can convince Iris, I think we would go see the movie. Looks like it’ll have some cool special effects, and a great way to celebrate Halloween.
I don’t have access to you tube, but I’m tryin to find something.
[Reply]
I saw a preview for that movie and I can’t wait to see it! It looks soooo good!!!
This is my fav Haloween vid because it’s Fred and Fred is the funniest guy on the web. I think this is his first video too.

MY favorite halloween movie is Beetlejuice. Not scary but funny. I’ve seen it many times. Can’t get enough of it. “The Great Pumpkin is also a favorite”
[Reply]
My favorite is the short film my sister and brother-in-law wrote, directed and starred in, along with my niece. It’s entitled Emily and was their entry last year for the Chiller Channel’s Dare2Direct contest.

Nosferatu. The original 1922 film directed by Murnau. Here is the entire film! I love this silent film. It’s creepy and moody.

[Reply]
I voted! And I spread the word on facebook and twitter!
Lets see… favorite youtube… Well I honestly am not on that site much but I found this and I love Steven Lynch ~laughs~ He’s so horrible… But he’s funny.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImnMucno1ew
[Reply]
Bursts out laughing~ Oh my gods.. That video is hilarious. Dracula is just great
[Reply]
The latest vampire video on YouTube that I’ve loved is Buffy vs. Edward. Call me an old-fashioned girl, but I still like it when vamps get staked by the slayer. (And the highlights from Twilight really exemplify what’s problematic about Edward as a hero — he has these stalker tendencies that I find kinda unnerving…)
I’m probably going to skip The Vampire’s Assistant in theaters, though it wouldn’t surprise me if the teen group at our library watches it when it comes out on DVD.
[Reply]
I kinda like the cheesy ones like this one called The Killer Pumpkin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1ZJt_iRzZ0
[Reply]
Commented on The Vampire’s Assistant (and yes, I am going, lol) but I couldn’t find my video! It was from SNL when John Travolta plays Dracula. The episode is called “Dracula is not gay”. The link to the script is: http://snltranscripts.jt.org/94/94cdracula.phtml. Sooo funny!

It was honestly a hard decision to choose between my 2 favorite videos, so I am going to put them both up! HAHA!
The First is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtyJbIOZjS8
Ok so aside from this beig a classic Michael Jackson song, and the greatest music video ever made…let’s look a little bit at the technical side of things, the video first came out in 1983 and was directed by John Landis (An American Werewolf in London) and Rick Baker assisted in prosthetics and makeup for the production. Being a huge fan of the paranormal, I’d have to say that the werewolf transformation is pretty darn good for the date that this video was released!
My second favorite is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpvdAJYvofI
I love this one because, hello it’s Tim Burton people! This whole movie with it’s stop animation is just amazing. But I particularly like this part of the movie because my 3 year old son likes to dance to it! He often pulls the DVD off the shelf and asks for the “Jack” song!

Not for kids! This is so rude and I like it because of that lol.

[Reply]
Ok, I posted over on my Facebook page about this contest-http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home
But, on to the best Halloween video. To me, the shower scene from Psycho has always been the top of my list for scary; the whole movie is just awesome, because it’s not in your face slash and dash blood, guts and gore, it is well written suspense. The eyes at the end of the shower scene just haunt me to no end.

[Reply]
I love Halloween and getting the kids all dressed up. Sometimes even me self.
I love scary movies, horror movies but one on the more romantic side and includes witches, a fave of mine is “Practical Magic”.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stQ31X8COWw&feature=related
I would watch the movie listed here and in question but once it comes out on video, no moneys for movies right now. Too bad to because the one coming out this weekend with Woody Harrelson looks like a riot.

This is my favorite Halloween video! Katy Towell is the best. I think animation can be creepy and this video for Halloween makes me want to buy my candy EARLY!

This one I liked because, I couldn’t stop laughing… too funny!
[Reply]
I may as well toss in mine too! So many good choices, but my personal favorite would still be “I Put a Spell on You” from Hocus Pocus (I know, I’m a kid at heart… still love that movie): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDidHzwYu3E (yes, already posted… but still!) and since it was taken, let’s throw in Most Farted too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0JTLFuNFVE
I’m not intending to be in the running for the contest, hence my late comment. Oh, and for the winner of my book, “Queer Hauntings”, I’d be more than happy to sign the copy if we figure out how to best do that!
[Reply]
I think this says it all on the twilight genre. I like it because it brings a lot of the view the people have on the little girl vampire story. I think vampire diaries would have been a better movie to come out with.

This is fun, I’ve gone through all of your picks,
super! I have to admit, this is the first I’ve watched
all of MJ’s thriller, seen bits & pieces of it but never the
full video. Thanks for the link.
I’ve already posted a link to a video, but this
is my very favorite, not Halloween, but a bit sick

Is it Halloween? It’s about spiders. No doubt the content is objectionable to someone. Contains spider nudity and adult situations, I think.
