Nicktoberfest 2014

Shutter Island is pretty horrific. I haven't seen Pi or Elephant Man, but I put them on reputation? The latter for being David Lynch (also Twin Peaks)
I'd call all of those dramas before I ever called them horror. Shutter Island is a dark noir film, if anything. Which is, you know, Stephan Lehane's bread and butter.
 
I know it's not horror, but I feel no october film festival is complete without Ghostbusters 1 and 2.
It's comedy-horror (stronger leaning on comedy, obviously). Been awhile since I watched those. Think I might add them. Though the list is getting pretty filled now.
 
My viewing list so far:

- The Halloween Tree
- Coraline
- Paranorman
- The Nightmare Before Christmas
- Monster Squad

I'll be looking for some of the old claymation specials too. I seem to remember one about a pig guy going to his dead relative's castle to get his inheritance and it's basically full of monsters partying. Then he finds a monster like Frankenstein and an elixer that makes it grow for terrible results. Can't remember what it's called though.
 
If you want to see something truly horrifying there's only one answer- MONSTER HIGH! An unoriginal premise, atrocious CG, forced tolerance messages that make X-men seem subtle, and much much more! You want to look away but can't, its basically the animated equivalent of a car crash

Searched for "Claymation Horror" and it was in the top 10 results.

You guys sleeping on Phantasm. It's so great for how weird and inventive it was. Sequel's actually pretty good too. I've never seen the third or fourth films.

I think Nick's looking for stuff that's supposed to be scary, otherwise we could throw in Son of the Mask.

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!! *sobs, crawls into a foetal position*

Also, I may actually add at least the first Phantasm to the list, @Frank. Honestly never seen it. No idea why.[DOUBLEPOST=1411911386,1411911336][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, you should add Trick 'r Treat into that list somewhere, @Charlie Don't Surf, especially if you've never seen it.
