Halloween and Horror Movies

The line between Halloween and horror can be a bit blurry at times.  So I combined the two into one list. 












1408:  John Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson.  

Based on a Stephen King short story about a cursed hotel room.













Blair Witch Project:  Heather Donahue.  

Found footage from a documentary crew that vanished in the Maryland woods.  Cost less than $1 million to make.  Box office of $248 million. 













Bug:  Ashley Judd, Michael Shannon.  

Based on a Tracy Letts play.  Psychological horror.  

Also with Harry Connick Jr.     




 









Corpse Bride:  Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp.  

Stop motion animation.  A groom-to-be accidentally marries a deceased woman.  

Also with Tracey Ullman and Emily Watson.  













Cube:  Nicole de Boer.  

Sci-fi horror.   Six strangers are locked in a maze with deadly traps and have to find a way out. 

 











Dracula:  Winona Ryder, Gary Oldman.

Loosely based on a Lois Duncan novel.  Teen-agers cover up a killing, then are targets themselves a year later.
