Once you've seen them..... no reason to watch again.

I rarely re-watch movies, though once in a while I might watch one again, especially if it's one I really like.

Maybe the Amityville Horror original movie or the Shining with Jack Nicholson? Those are scary movies.

Not a fan of most classic horror, but I've seen and liked all the others mentioned. I have Elvira's Haunted Hills, which is a fun watch. No pesky ToTers to worry about, so Halloween is just another day to me.

I don't watch anything specific, but here's a few titles I've seen that would fill the bill:

Hocus Pocus 1 and 2
Hotel Transilvania 1-4(?)
Paranorman
Evil Dead 1 and 2
Dawn of the Dead
Nightmare on Elm St. 1-4
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Agreed, that's why I said the above. Those titles listed don't make the
"I'll watch it again" list, for me. ;-)

Now that I say that, my re-watch list seems to mostly include older war movies, older western movies, and a comedy or two.

Classic Frankenstein with Boris Karloff

Also, a couple of silent classics:

Nosferatu
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

I think both of those are available on YouTube.

wonder Stephen King hated it.

Those are good choices for scary movies! I have not seen the shining in a long time. Thank you for great idea!

Oh yeah. Love the WWII movies, particularly those with "The Duke". Westerns I'm more picky. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, They Call Me Trinity, The magnificeent Seven, The Cowboys, these are what I think of most.

I loved the shining. Maybe it is time to watch it again.

I remember seeing in in first-run, and how boring I found it. The pace was just too slow for my taste. Some real classic horror flicks, check out Carrie and The Exorcist. Not as classic but still fun to watch are The Nightmare on Elm St. movies.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a popular movie that came out a few years before The Shining. I re-watched that movie again years ago and found its pace to be a bit slow too.. It seemed to me that much of the movie was just a lot of teasing and lead-up to the climax at the end, which feels like the most interesting part of the movie.

Yeah, I always wondered what people saw
in this movie. Maybe they all just have
a fascination with the actors. Why was
there a random scene earlier on with
the blood at the elevators? And then
exactly the same scene later while the
chick is freaking out. It almost makes
sense in the latter scene, but the
first one shouldn't have been there. Is
it just that movies were different
then? I don't think so because I've
seen perfectly fine movies from those
years :).
