THROWBACK TO 90'S HALLOWEEN FLICKS
(Collage by Becker)
Oh, Halloween.
I have to admit, there's just something about this holiday that makes me nostalgic and eager to participate in all of its ludicrous festivities. And let's face it, in a college town like Athens, Halloween extends well into several weeks of celebration. Hopefully your costumes have held up through multiple shindigs, and you're still hyped and ready for the 31st!
In honor of the holiday, I thought I'd provide you with a list of old Halloween flicks and a compilation of trip-hop, in case you feel like forgoing one of the many nights out to instead veg on the couch with a bowl of candy corn (Bravo to you, my friend. There's no shame!).
As per usual, you'll find that most of this content if from the 90's. Haha.
Beetlejuice
Haha.
Hocus Pocus
There's just so much sass.
. . . and not a lot of class.
The Craft
Ok, so I've never seen this one. But apparently it's a classic.
I'll give it a try if you will.
It's probably a little edgier than Hocus Pocus . .
And here are some other guilty pleasures that you know you're not above watching.
Halloweentown
Don't Look Under the Bed
Twitches
^Everyone needs a few Disney classics.
The Little Vampire
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Casper
Corpse Bride
Scream
In addition, here are a few eerie, trip-hop tunes.
See if they're as spellbinding for you as they are for me.
K's Choice - Virgin State of Mind
Portisthead - Only You
Tricky - Aftermath
Morcheeba - Never an Easy Way
Massive Attack - Teardrop
Radiohead - Talk Show Host
*LOVED* this song ever since I first watched Romeo + Juliet.
Craig Armstrong featuring Liz Fraser - This Love
Have you every seen Cruel Intentions? If not, go ahead and add it to the list above. It's dark plot and biting cynicism somehow qualify it as Halloween-esque.
