Quote from: Ghostbusters
We've put together a list of creeeeepy movies to enjoy with your family this Halloween - in fact, we got so enthusiastic about spooky flicks both old and new that our list was too long for just a 'top 5', so we had to get ruthless with lopping off the odd title here and there <cue evil laughter>....
Not quite making the cut: Caspar, Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, the Haunted Mansion, Beetlejuice
Don't think of E.T. as a Halloween movie? Think we've got too many animated movies in the list? Are we showing our (old) age by including Ghostbusters? Send us the titles we've missed!
