Halloween season scares up the freaky flicks

ring.jpgAh, October. When the leaves change color, and cooler temperature prevail. Or at least, in parts of the country that aren't Texas. So I've heard.

But one thing you can count on, wherever you are, is studios and TV stations rolling out their collection of horror/thriller/slasher films.

It's a little slow going in the theaters, where the first such offering, Quarantine, opens this week. (Don't be fooled by Girl Cut in Two. It's not what you think.) And of course, you still have Saw V to look forward to. Here are some TV offerings to keep you occupied until then:

  • AMC offers up its first annual Fear Fest.
  • TNT provided me with ample warning to avoid the channel this weekend with its "three chances to watch" The Ring.
  • Turner Classic Movies will rock out 48 Hours of Horror! later this month.
  • Fox Movie Channel take the campy route on Halloween with Frightening Flicks.
  • rror/schedule.do">Masters of Horror series.

Now its your turn: Seen any commercials for spooky-dos we should keep an eye out for? Or better yet: What freaky flick keeps you awake at night? Which ones do you make sure not to miss when autumn rolls around?

For me? It's The Ring, hands down. Seriously - I can't walk past my turned off TV late at night without wondering if that creepy little girl is going to crawl out of it.

Dario Argento's Suspiria. Freaky low-budget goodness. Netflix it and cover your eyes.

If you haven't watched the original Willy Wonka &the Chocolate Factory in a while, that is surprisingly creepy. As a kid, I love it. As an adult, whenever I hear Gene Wilder utter lines like, "The suspense is terrible... I hope it'll last..." and then just go on to something else -- creeped out.

Creepiest ever? "The Shining" or the classic "Psycho".
