Probably play some old school Classic Castlevania. Those early games captured the mood and essence of Halloween perfectly.
Yeah I've been thinking a replay of Legacy of Darkness would be really nice. And I've had several survival horror games I've been meaning to play for a few years. Specifically
Silent Hill on the PS1,
Resident Evil 2 on the Dreamcast,
REmake and
RE0 on GCN. Anyone wanna recommend which one I should try first?
Each year I hold an October Horrothon for myself (and anyone around who wants to watch some flicks). I know a guy online whose best was something like 137 horror movies during the month a couple years ago. I could NEVER do that, and at most I think I've watched around 20. I'm not the true marathoning sort, you see, but I look forward to it every year because the best weather sets in and it just gives me that nostalgic Halloween vibe to have the windows open and watching some scary movies.
Last year I carved a jack-o'-lantern, will probably do the same. Pick one up at the apple orchard along with some cookies and apple cider.
I really wanna play through Costume Quest again because that sorta lets you relive that childhood fun of Halloween if you don't have kids to take trick or treating.
I just got the Universal Monsters Blu-ray box—the UK one since it's practically identical and only cost around $30 as opposed to $80 for the US set—and plan to watch all those, since I'm unfamiliar with all but Dracula and Frankenstein. My friends and I have also been talking about rewatching all the Evil Dead movies, and since I now own all four on Blu-ray (the French release of the director's cut roooooolz), I plan on having 'em over for a couple nights.
Yeah I'll probably throw a marathon or two for myself as well. You're in for a treat with the Universal movies, provided you liked
Dracula '31 and
Frankenstein.
Bride of Frankenstein is probably the best film of the whole universal monster cycle, but they're all a lot of fun. Though
House of Dracula is probably the
least fun lol. Be sure to check out
Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein when you're done to, I actually like Lugosi better as Dracula in that than in the 31 film. If you find you enjoy John Carradine as Dracula in the other Universals he also played the Count in
Billy the Kid vs. Dracula as well, the ending of which is
hilarious.
