My Top 5 Horror Movies To Watch On Halloween.

Hola, Movie Goers! This Is Octavio Martinez Jr. A.K.A. "The Movie Vato" Giving You My Latest Reviews On Movies New And Old! The Halloween Season Is Coming To A End, And I Am Kinda Sad That Halloween Only Comes Once A Year. But, If You Have Friends Who Are Horror Movie Nerds, Or If You're A Horror Movie Nerd Yourself, Hell... The Halloween Season Never Dies. And To Honor This Halloween Season, I Going To Post My Top 5 Horror Movies To Watch On Halloween! So, Let's Get Crackin', Movie Lovers! Here Are My Top 5 Horror Movies To Watch On Halloween: 

The Movie Vato Presents: Top 5 Horror Movies To Watch On Halloween.

5. Stephen King's IT 
Stephen King's IT Wasn't Really A Horror Movie Feature Film, It Was Originally A Miniseries That Made Its Debut On ABC In November Of 1990. But, It's Still A Classic Horror Movie To Watch On Halloween! 

Based On Stephen King's Novel, The Movie Is About Seven Kids Known As "The Loser Club" Facing A Clown By The Name Pennywise Terrorizing Their Neighborhood. The Kids Do Defeat Pennywise, And Made A Pact If Pennywise Returns, They Will All Return To Their Hometown, And Vow To Defeat Him Again. 30 Years Later, The Loser Club Returns To Their Hometown And Faces Pennywise One More Time. 

This Movie Doesn't Really Have Big Movie Stars In Here. The Adult Cast Of The Loser Club Are Basically Famous Television Actors! Harry Anderson, Tim Reid, Richard Thomas, Dennis Christopher, Richard Mausr, Annette O' Toole, And The Late John Ritter. But, The Younger Cast Of "The Loser Club" Did Have Three Cast Members That Became Big Stars. Seth Green, Emily Perkins, And The Late Johnathan Brandis.

Tim Curry Is The Only Big Hollywood Actor In This Movie, And Starts As The Title Character IT A.K.A. Pennywise The Clown. Curry's Performance And His Appearance As Pennywise Was So Good, That Everybody Was Working With Him They Avoid Being Near Him. For Anybody Who Grew Up In The 1990s, And For Some Reasons Afraid Of Clowns, This Movie Could Be The Reason Of That. Pennywise Was Of Course A Monster, And His True Form Was A Big Disappointment, But Everybody Was Afraid Of His Clown Form More. 

"Everybody Is Afraid Of Me? Gee... I Wonder Why."
In 2012, It Was Rumored To Believed That They Want To Adapt IT Into A Two-Part Feature Film, And It Will Be Directed By Cary Fukunaga. I Hope That He Will Do A Good Job And Make Pennywise A Much Darker Clown, And Pennywise's True Form Is More Scarier Than Crappy.

Here Is The Trailer Of Stephen King's IT:



4. John Carpenter's Halloween
What Person Who Not Put This Movie On Their List To Watch On Halloween? Well, Not Me!

This Story Is About A Young Boy By The Name Of Michael Myers Ends Up Killing This Older Sister Judith Myers With A Kitchen Knife. 15 Years Have Passed, And Michael Ends Up Living In A Mental Institute And Somehow Escapes. Michael Goes Back To His Neighborhood And Starts Stalking A 17-Year Old Girl By The Name Of Laurie Strode Who Is Played By Jamie Lee Curtis. While Michael Starts Killing A Bunch Of Teenagers Around His Neighborhood, A Psychiatrist By The Name Dr. Samuel Loomis Who Is Played Donald Pleasence Turns Out To Be Michael's Psychiatrist Tries To Find A Way To Bring Back Michael To The Institute Before He Ends Up Killing People.

This 1978 Horror Movie Classic Became One Of The Most Franchises In The Horror Genre. This Happen To Be Jamie Lee Curtis' Feature Film Debut, Nick Castle Who Was An Actor Back Then, Now A Big Hollywood Screenwriter And Director Was Michael Myers In This Film . This Franchise Came Out With A Couple Of Sequels And A Rebooted Series That Was Directed By Rob Zombie. 

Little Known Facts About This Movie, The Michael Myers' Mask Was Originally A Star Trek Mask Of Captain James T. Kirk. They Just Painted It White To Make It Look Mysterious. John Carpenter's Budget In This Movie Was Only $325,000 And Made $70,000,000 In The Box Office. Recently, Halloween Just Celebrated It's 35th Anniversary And Now Is Released On Blu-Ray For The First Time.


You Know, If You Just Put William Shatner In White Makeup, He Would Have Been This Movie.

             3. Wes Craven's New Nightmare

Wes Craven's Best Nightmare On Elm Street Film He Ever Did!



1994 Marked The Tenth Anniversary Of The Original "Nightmare On Elm Street", And Wes Craven Thought It Would Be The Good Idea To Make A Special 10th Anniversary Movie Of "Nightmare On Elm Street", And This Movie Did Not Disappoint.

The Story Starts With Heather Langenkamp Who Plays As Herself Is Now A Married Woman Who Has A Husband And A Son. Due To Her Popularity As Nancy Thompson In The Original "Nightmare On Elm Street", She Would Be Getting Prank Calls From Fans Quoting Certain Lines In The Movie. Heather Does Get A Phone Call From New Line Cinema, And Offer Her In A Role To The Latest Nightmare Film, Little Does Heather Know, That Production Of New Nightmare Film Was Already Be Worked. During The Set On The Film, Heather's Husband Chase Who Is Played By David Newson Is A Special Effect Artist And Created A New Freddy Hand. The Freddy Hand Mysteriously Kills Two Members Of The Film Crew And Chase. After The Funeral, John Saxon Who Plays Himself Comforts Heather After The Lost Of Her Husband, And She Told John That Her Son Dylan Who Is Played By Miko Hughes Is Been Acting Strange. Dylan Turns Out To Be Freddy's Messenger, And Started To Make Threats To Heather. It Was Later To Revealed That Freddy Krueger Who Is Played By Robert Englund And Making Contact To The Real World. Heather Would Have To Face Freddy One More Time As Nancy Thompson And Save Her Son.

I Happened To Love This Movie Much More Than The Original! I Was Glad That Wes Craven Appears In This Movie, As Well As Robert Englund As Himself And A Much Darker And Less Comical Freddy Krueger, John Saxon Reprising His Role As Lt. Donald Thompson Was Awesome! This Movie Was Mildly Successful In The Box Office, It Made The Lowest Amount Of Money In The Franchise. But, In The End... Wes Craven's New Nightmare Had Cult Following When It Was Release On Video And It Became A Instant Classic!

Little Known Facts About This Movie, Wes Craven Did See All Of The "Nightmare On Elm Street" Films And Made His Own Personal Sequel Instead Of Doing Any Connections Of The Last Six "Nightmare" Films. Johnny Depp Was Originally Going To Be In This Film As A Cameo, But Wes Craven Changed His Mind The Last Minute, Depp Actually Met Craven In The Red Carpet Premiere, And Told Craven That He Would Have Done The Film. When Heather Langenkamp And John Saxon Had To Reprise Their Roles As The Thompsons, They Were Wearing Same Clothes In The Original "Nightmare On Elm Street".

Robert Englund's Performance As A Darker Freddy Krueger Was Awesome In This Movie!
This Freddy Was More Scarier That The First Movie.

2. Dracula 

The Godfather Of Horror Movies Had To Be On My "Top 5" List!

In 1931, Universal Studios Was The First Movie Studio In The Untied States To Make A Horror Movie, And Started A Movement Making Horror Icons To Life On The Big Screen. "Dracula" Was Their First Horror Film They Made.

Based On Bram Stoker's Novel, The Story Begins By A Traveler Named Renfield Who Is Played By Dwight Fyre Traveling To Transylvania For A Business Matter. Local Villagers Warn Renfield Not To Go To Dracula's Castle, Renfield Refused To Listen, And Goes To The Castle. By The Time He Enters The Castle, Renfield Is Welcomed By Count Dracula Who Is Played Bela Lugosi. Dracula Makes Renfield Spent The Night In The Castle, Little Does Renfield Know That Count Dracula Was A Vampire. The Next Day, Dracula Hypnotized Renfield, And Makes Him Take Dracula To England. Dracula Ends Up Meeting Dr. Seward Who Is Played By Herbert Bunston, Dr. Seward Who Owns An Asylum Takes Renfield In And Reviews Him. While That Happens Dracula Take Ends Up Taking Mostly Female Victims For His Feast. One Of The Victims Happen To Be Dr. Seward's Daughter  Mina Who Is Played By Helen Candler. Seward Is Worries About His Daughter, He Ends Up Bringing A German Professor By The Name Of Van Helsing Who Is Played By Edward Van Sloan To Check Was Is Wrong With His Daughter. Helsing Examines Mina, But Also Examines Renfield. Helsing Figures Out What Is Wrong With Mina And Reinfield, And Tells Dr. Seward The Truth About Dracula, And With The Help Of John Harker Who Is Played By David Manners Tries To Find A Way To Stop Dracula.

I Have To Put This Movie On The List Because This Is One Of Those Movies, That Is A Timeless Classic! This Movie Made Bela Lugosi A Horror Movie Icon For The Over 80 Years. There Were So Many Actors Who Played The Role As Dracula, But Lugosi Outshine Them All! Every Likeness Of Dracula That You See On A Picture, Always Has The Likeness Of Bela Lugosi! The Movie May Be In Black & White, It's One Of Those Movie That You Have To Admire About.

Little Know Facts About This Movie, This Is Only Vampire Movie That Doesn't Have Vampires To Show Any Fangs. Instead Of Dubbing Dracula In Spanish, Universal Studios Thought It Would Be A Good Idea To Re-Shot This Movie By Spanish-Speaking Actors. Bela Lugosi Reprises His Role As Dracula Again In The Movie "Abbott And Costello Meets Frankenstein". Dracula Was Originally Was Suppose To Look Like Nosferatu, But The Producers Decided To Change Appearance Cause They Didn't Want Give Any Kids Nightmares.

Dracula: The Man, The Myth, The Legend.

1. The Exorcist
 
If You Want To Talk About A Horror Movie That Will Crap Your Pants, This Movie Will Do That To You!

Based On William Peter Blatty's Novel The Story Begins About An Actress By The Name Of Chris McNeil Who Is Played By Ellen Burstyn Notice That Her Daughter Is Acting Strange And Becoming Aggressive. Regan MacNeil Who Is Played By Linda Blair Doesn't Know As Well The People Around Her Is Being Possessed By The Devil. Chris Checks Her Daughter Out By Medical Experts And A Psychiatrist, But Failed Attempts And A Dead Person, Chris Has No Other Choice, But Perform A Exorcism With A Help Of Two Priests By The Names Of Father Lankester Merrian Who Is Played By Max Von Sydow & Father Damien Karras Who Is Played By Jason Miller And Try To Save Regan.

This Is One Of Those Movies Where You Should Not Watch Alone And Not To Mention... Watch In The Dark. This Movie Has Been Ranked One Of The Most Scariest Horror Movies Of All Time, The Film Was Release In 1973, And This Movie Was So Scary, That Movie Theaters Had To Hire Extra Doctors And Nurses If A Movie Goer Fainted. William Peter Blatty Not Only Wrote The Novel, He Wrote The Screenplay For The Movie, And Produce The Movie As Well. This Film Had Many Sequels And Related Films Tribute To The Original Film. This Would Happened To Make Over $440,000,000 In The Box Office, Making It Highest Grossing Film For Warner Bros. Around That Time! 

Little Know Facts About This Movie, Jack Nicholson Was Originally Cast To Play As Damien Karras, But He Was Filming Another Movie At The Time. Linda Blair Did A Comedy Spoof Of The Exorcist Movie Called "Repossessed" Starring Leslie Nielsen, And Spoofing As Herself. During The Filming Of This Movie, People Started To Believe That Making This Film Was Curse, Actors Were Mysteriously Getting Injured And One Actor Died During The Filming Of This Movie. Some Said It's A Urban Legend, But Some Believe It's True. "The Exorcist" Was Rated R, And It Happened To Be The Highest Rated R Movie Of All Time. William Peter Blatty Did Have One Small Role In The Movie, He Was Narrating Where Chris Was Performing At In Healy Hall. The Spider Walk Scene Was Originally Cut From The Movie, But Was Brought Back In The Director's Cut.

Linda Blair's Performance In This Movie Has Been Scaring Generations For Nearly 40 Years.
I Should Know, I'm One Of Them.
