Halloween Horror Shows You May Have Missed

Celebrate Halloween All Month Long by Watching Great Scary Movies

Halloween is the perfect time to catch up on some horror movies that you may have missed. The great thing is that even if you can't find these movies at your local video store (they are all available on Netflix), you can actually purchase many of them for under 10 bucks at There is something about October that makes even a bad scary movie more entertaining than a great non-horror film. With that in mind, here are a few terrific Halloween choices that you probably aren't familiar with. I urge you to try to carve time out between Psycho and The Shining to watch these gems. Especially if that means knocking crap like the Friday the 13^th movies or the recent trend of torture gorefests that appeal to people who should probably be fighting in Iraq right now if the enjoy the sight of torture so much.

Spider Baby

Like many 1960s movies, this one gives one last hurrah to one the legends of the original Universal horror film cycles. Well, maybe not a legend. Let's face it, Lon Chaney, Jr.'s stiff discomfort is painful to watch in some those wolfman movies. Spider Baby is probably one of the strangest movies you will ever watch; it's like the Addams Family meets the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The story precedes that film, in fact: it's about a family that is dying out as their brain disease turns each last one into a murderous psychopath. Thank goodness for Lon Chaney, Jr. as the team's driver; a more loyal chauffer has never been witnessed before. It is Chaney who covers up the bloody path left in the wake of his bosses. Enter a couple of cousins wishing to soak the family dry, along with their money-grubbing lawyer and, guess what, madness ensues.
