TWITTAFLICKS – 2009 Halloween Edition!

The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) - Renaissance man Anton Phibes unleashes biblical plagues on the Dr's who 'killed' his wife. Price at his crazy best.

An American Werewolf in London (1981) - Funny, ground-breaking and still utterly horrifying. The Nazi fever dream alone will haunt you forever.

Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes (1978) - Tomatoes eat people. People strike back with a song called 'Puberty Love'. Pure zany hilarity.

Blacula (1972) - Blaxploitation take on the King of Vampires. "What'll you have?" "Make it a Bloody Mary." Sho' Nuff.

The Blair Witch Project (1999) - The $22,000 movie that made $240M. Also scary as f***.

Blood Feast (1963) - H.G. Lewis unravels the guts and gore in this tale of an Egyptian cultist wreaking havoc in swinging 60's Cali.

Bride of Re-Animator (1990) - Continuing saga of Dr. West and his obnoxious severed head- H.P. has never been so fun!

Bride Of The Monster (1955) - Vintage Ed Wood nutiness made even more special by a charismatic Bela Lugosi in his penultimate performance.

Dead Alive (1992) - Absolutely disgusting, yet hilarious EPIC zombie film from Kiwi mastermind Peter Jackson. Lawnmower Fu!

Dracula (1931) - The progenitor of the modern horror film and almost all vampire films to follow. Bela IS Vampyr!

Evil Dead II (1987) - A masterful menage-a-trois of horror, gore and comedy. Chainsaw! Groovy.

Fearless Vampire Killers (1967) - Master Polanski gives us a rich Gothic vampire opera, that also happens to be funny as hell.

Frankenstein Meets The Space Monster (1965) - One of the most ridiculously fun films in all of creation. Mars needs women and Dr. Nadir aims to provide!

American Psycho (2000) -  A dark, brilliant satire of excess and evil with Christian Bale owning the 80's. Even if it's only in his own mind.

Howling II: Your Sister Is A Werewolf (1985) - Christopher Lee, Sybil Danning's tear-away bra, Lycanthropy, evil Lithuanian midgets… 'Nuff said?

Invaders From Mars (1953) - Bizarro sets and inventive filmmaking create a nightmarish vision of childhood terror and 'invasion' from beyond.

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978) - The Donald teams with Jeff Goldblum and Mr. Spock to warn the world of a creeping invasion. Still scares the bejeezus out of me.

Near Dark (1987) - One of the first (and best) 'post-modern' Vamp flicks. The bar scene is pure Badass.

Night Of The Living Dead (1968) - George Romero changed the rules of horror with this still chill-inducing bit of low-bud genius

A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) - 1, 2, Freddy's comin' for you… the first is still the best. I dare you to sleep with the lights off after this one.

Nosferatu (1922) - F.W. Murnau and the mysterious Max Shreck create the most popular genre character in film history. The Vampyr!

The Shining (1980) - The Kubes uses King's story of isolated madness as framework for the greatest cinematic ghost story of all.

Sleepy Hollow (1999) - Tim Burton's take on Ichabod Crane is part Victorian CSI, part Gothic ghost story, and 100% EXCELLENCE.

Son Of Frankenstein (1939) - Bela steals Karloff's thunder in probably the most unrecognized influential film of 1939...

Stink Of Flesh (2005) - ScottSPhillips made this no-budget Zombie flick with more subtext and character than any 12 remakes of the last decade

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) - Tobe Hooper unleashed hell (and a thousand sub-par ripoffs) with his exploration of the evil hidden in the back roads of America

The Thing (1982) - J.C. reteams with Kurt Russell for the most nihilistic monster movie to ever scare your snowballs off.

Trick R Treat (2008) - The best horror anthology film in 25+ years. Scary, freaky and full of Halloween naughtiness. A new classic.

The Wicker Man (1973) - Before Nic Cage wore a bear suit, Ed Woodward squared off against Christopher Lee in this rustic creepfest.

The Wolf Man (1941) - De Volf, ee bit you… deedn't he?' And Larry Talbot's life goes to the wolves. Doesn't get much better than this.

Young Frankenstein (1974) - Mel Brooks finest moment. Arguably the finest 'spoof' film ever made. "HE VASS MY BOYFRIEND!"
