9 Favorite Films That Take Place on or around Halloween

This year's October was a little bittersweet for me. I left all of my DVD's in Arlington, so my viewing of horror/Halloween movies has been cut down severely. Here are 9 of my favorite Halloween flicks.

Halloween (obvi)

Trick 'r Treat

Hocus Pocus

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Sleepy Hollow

Donnie Darko

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Disney)

The Skeleton Dance (Disney)

Mean Girls (One of the best explanations of modern day Halloween)

Satan's Little Helper (Awful B-Movie)

10 Favorite DC Films

The DC Metropolitan Area is and will always be my hometown. I would always get excited about watching DC films because it seems to be a town where not THAT many movies are made. While these films are in no particular order, I must say that State of Play definitely is one of the best movies that utilizes the city as a backdrop. I tried to avoid using the obvious political thrillers as much as possible, but it was pretty tough in most cases.

State of Play

St Elmo's Fire

The Exorcist

Wedding Crashers

Patriot Games

The Recruit

National Treasure

In the Line of Fire

No Way Out

Dave

I moved to Chicago three weeks ago today. I love this city. It should be known that I love DC/Virginia as well. It's just different here. In the month leading up to my relocation, I watched a slew of films that are set or filmed in Chicago. In no particular order, here are my favorites:

The Blues Brothers

Risky Business

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

About Last Night

Public Enemies

I am Trying to Break Your Heart

Hoop Dreams

The Fugitive

The Dark Knight
