What is your October observance?

Obviously I watch horror all year long, but Halloween night is a special one for me.

I start off with Hocus Pocus. I used to start with it because during the trick or treater phase of the night, I didn’t want anything inappropriate on the tv when the kids came around, but obviously I basically live on Mars now, so that’s not a concern. But, tradition is tradition, so Hocus Pocus is still my opener.

Next, my “after dark” film is Trick ‘r Treat, a film adaption of a graphic novel which is just a wicked good time.

After that, I typically watch Alien and Aliens back to back. By the time Aliens is over, I’m well soused on the devil’s nectar and ready for bed lol.

This has been the tradition for 9 years now. What’s yours?
