Over the years I have written reviews for many scary movies - the funny scary, the scary scary, the classic scary - the scary that makes you think. With Halloween approaching I thought I would put all the scary movie reviews (the movies are scary, not the reviews, although in some cases...) together. When you make your selection this Halloween for that party or family gathering, take a few moments to let Hyperion help you out.
(NOTE: by no means is this a definitive list of Halloween movies. It is just a list of movies I have thus far reviewed. If you don't see a favorite, email me or leave a comment and I will try to review that too. (Better yet: offer to pay for it - we reviewers don't work for free, you know!)
