Once I made a mistake of watching the remake of “The Omen” with some college friends on 6-6-06. Rule of thumb when it comes to horror movies, never watch them on days symbolizing the devil. Just remember, college students, in between all the costumes and parties, check out one of these killer movies (no pun intended).
The Omen filmed in 1976. “An American ambassador learns to his horror that his son is actually the literal Antichrist.” You don’t want to play with this kid.

The Shining filmed in 1980. A family goes to an isolated hotel to spend the winter there. Turns out isolated hotels are perfect for going crazy and being haunted by violent ghosts.
Halloween filmed in 1978. It’s Halloween night and there is literally a psychotic murder running loose. “Michael is coming back to Haddonfield, but by the time the town realizes it, it’ll be too late for many people.”
Scream filmed in 1996. A year after the murder of a young girls mom, murders return to the town Woodsboro. Turns out, all the murders are related and there’s nothing that’s going to stop Ghostface.
It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown filmed in 1966. The Peanuts gang is celebrating Halloween and Linus waits in the pumpkin patch for The Great Pumpkin.
