Halloween is a holiday that virtually begs to be recognized. The costumes, candy and pumpkin carving that typically go on are great ways to celebrate the season. But then there are the slightly darker tones. The monsters, ghosts and all sorts of other "things that go bump in the night" that begin to crawl their way from the depths of our imaginations and into the dark corners of our houses.

What better way to deal with them than to let them all out and trap them in your television set?

The end of October is the perfect time to indulge yourself and your family in the guilty pleasure of the horror film. Sometimes terrifying, sometimes disgusting and sometimes just plain silly, there are movies out there for all ages that can get you in the mood for Halloween. If you're looking for costume ideas, there is no shortage of material just sitting at the video store waiting to be used. Presented below, in no particular order except for what age they're appropriate for, are two handfuls of seasonal entertainment.
