For most people, Halloween represents Trick-or-Treating, superfluous amounts of candy and dressing up in ridiculous costumes. But for film fans, it is the time of year when horror films are in abundance. This year, we’ve been given horror sequels such as Saw 3D and Paranormal Activity 2 and TVs are sure to be packed with the horror films that are to be expected, such as The Exorcist and The Shining.

Adrien Brody stars in the new movie I’m looking most forward to this Tuesday. I love science fiction stories about experiments gone wrong and it looks like most Flickchart users have been rating this one very well.

I generally am OK with remakes if for no other reason than they finally give me some incentive to watch the original. The original was a solid little Rocky-clone and everything I’ve heard about this modern remake seems to be pretty positive too.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (DVD & Blu-ray | R | 2010)

A Nightmare on Elm Street reviews and rankings How would you rank it amongst the best slasher movies of all time?

I don’t have the stomach to watch a human centipede in action but I am impressed by how nuts this movie seems to be.

I actually kinda liked the first Space Chimps. It’s a little ridiculous, brightly-colored and features some decent voice acting. Can’t say I’m excited to see what a DTV sequel looks like though.
