It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie BrownLee Mendelson/Bill Melendez ProductionGrade: B”It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” follows Charlie and the rest of the Peanuts group trick-or-treating while Linus stays in the pumpkin patch to wait for the Great Pumpkin. Although this cartoon does not feature any flashy technology, it is a classic that brings back childhood memories. Take 25 minutes to watch this film and think back on simpler times. It’s an easy way to get into the Halloween spirit without any gore.C. VOGELS- – -HalloweenCompass International PicturesGrade: AThis year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of the classic slasher movie “Halloween.” Fans still love watching Laurie, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, barely escaping the knife of escaped mental patient/babysitter killer Michael Myers. John Carpenter’s movie was so successful it spawned seven sequels and even a Rob Zombie remake. Nightmare on Elm Street? Friday the 13th? Scream? While all are great horror movies, none can stand the test of time like Halloween.J. CHENIER- – -Saw VLionsgate FilmsGrade: BThe fifth installment of the “Saw” films will give the audience what they desire: gore and an appreciation for life. The story takes a new turn when it reveals Jigsaw, the man behind the clown doll, had a helper who happens to be a detective. When a fellow officer tries to reveal his secret, he is inevitably caught up in the game. Fans following the series will appreciate the lessons Jigsaw gives. But newcomers may not be so pleased.A. NORSWORTHY- – -ScreamDimension FilmsGrade: A”Scream,” Wes Craven’s 1996 teen gore-fest, simultaneously reinvented the slasher genre while also poking fun at it. The film starred some of the biggest names of the ‘90s, including Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and Jamie Kennedy. From the terrifying opening sequence to the surprise twist ending, “Scream” had everyone asking, “What’s your favorite scary movie?” Although the film bred two less-than-stellar sequels, the original “Scream” has obtained classic horror movie status: essential Halloween viewing.B. LEJEUNE- – – -The ExorcistHoya ProductionsGrade: A+From a spinning head to flying vomit, the sinister classic horror flick “The Exorcist” has kept audiences jumping out of their skin since 1973. The film’s spectacular, disgusting and absolutely appalling special effects intensify the frightening tale of the demonic possession of a young girl. “The Exorcist” is quite possibly one of the most horrifying motion pictures ever made.C. CORE- – -The Omen (1976)20th Century FoxGrade: CEven by today’s standards, this movie is freaky. With a story based around a child Antichrist, it’s hard not to be. “The Omen” is Hitchcockian in suspense, doing more to keep viewers interested and involved than trying to knock their socks off with typical horror scenes. “The Omen” does have its share of disturbing scenes, like the decapitation of a photographer by a sheet of glass. But it’s not “The Exorcist” either. Viewers should be able to sleep without the lights on after this one.A. FELIX- – -EDITOR’S PICK: The Silence of the LambsOrion Pictures CorporationFor fans of:The Shining, Psycho, Se7en”It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.” In 1991, “The Silence of the Lambs” swept the Academy Awards, and deservingly so. Anthony Hopkins’ portrayal of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a manipulative prisoner with a penchant for human flesh, is as convincing as it is scary, and Jodie Foster’s FBI Agent Clarice Starling allows audiences to be right beside her as she goes after the serial killer Buffalo Bill. Starling’s partnership with Lecter creates psychological drama that keeps the movie intense until the very end. “The Silence of the Lambs” is not only scary, it’s an all-around amazing film.
