Night of the Living Dead

This film, originally made in 1968 is available on DVD through instant download, DVD, and Blu-ray. Several editions are available.

This perennial favorite film is now archived in the National Registry of the Library of Congress for its cultural significance in America. The story is about people hiding out in a farmhouse in Pennsylvania as they try to escape the view of a host of deceased people who are walking zombies (really corpses) seeking to devour the living. This is noted as being one of the best horror movies in history.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

The original story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was written by American author Robert Louis Stevenson. The original film from 1941 starred Spencer Tracy.

The tale is about Dr. Jekyll's inner struggle with the devil within himself. Dr. Jekyll, himself a doctor, concocts a potion which brings out his hidden "other" self in the form of Dr. Hyde. The general theme here is the ageless struggle between good and evil.
An intriguing look at the dual persona inside of everyone.

Hocus Pocus

This film stars Bette Middler and Sarah Jessica Parker. Get ready for this one if you want to see witches flying on vacuum cleaners. This is available on DVD and offers witches, spells, black cats, humor, magic, fun, drama, and music. From 1993, this is a comedy combination science-fiction flick. Okay-everyone needs to see this once! .

This fantasy film lasts an hour and six minutes and is set during Halloween in Massachusetts a long time ago featuring the story of a young boy who tries to impress the girl he fancies. The film has been described by many as "cute" for kids. Knowing the kinds of films that Sarah Jessica Parker chooses, its probably true. Meant as a compliment here.

The Birds

Wow-here it is! Alfred Hitchcock has hired the birds as actors who star in this film. This long-time favorite directed by suspense genius Hitchcock turns regular birds into scary creatures. The film was originally released in 1966 and stars Tippie Hedrin and lasts an hour and 58 minutes. It may be somewhat sophisticated for the younger set but this is a drama where the real actors are indeed the birds. Gripping.

Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie

This Pooh movie comes in DVD and wouldn't you know but it's a Disney movie suitable for families. The stars are Tigger, Rabbit, Roo, Ron, and Lumpy. These friends discover that Pooh has eaten all the Halloween candy and they decide the situation must be remedied somehow. They decide the best way to do this is to "wish" for more candy. The original release was in 2005.

Great reviews and a really fun movie for Pooh lovers.
