There are plenty of movies from the classic era that are spooky and good to watch as a Halloween treat! I wanted to highlight these films and help provide people with some new ideas for films they can enjoy!
This picture is from my subject, Blithe Spirit, with Rex Harrison, Kay Hammond and Constance Cummings (not pictured).
The rules are pretty simple. Pick a movie between 1920 and 1960, or there about, that is Halloween-related or spooky. No duplicates. There are plenty to choose from!
Please post your entry between October 28th and October 31st

Hi, Kristen! I’d like to do “The House On Haunted Hill,” if that’s OK.
You got it! Thanks!
Ooh, this sounds like spooky fun! Can I join and write about Bell, Book and Candle?

Thanks for inviting me to join your blogathon! I’ll review the Vincent Price film, ‘House of Wax’.
Hi Sally! Cool! You got it. Thanks for joining!
You’re welcome! Looking forward to October!
I’d like to join and write about Bell, Book and Candle!

Aww thanks! This looks really fun! I’ll take a closer look tonight after the kids are in bed! 🙂
You’re welcome! If you do write an award post, I’d look forward to reading it!
I’m planning on going through the questions and getting the post up later this week! I needed to get through the Peter Lawford Blogathon stuff I wanted to do this weekend and now I’ll be able to do this! 🙂
Hi! This sounds like fun. I found you in a roundabout way through Hamlette’s Soliloquy.
I have to write for “Arsenic and Old Lace.” One of the best spooky movies of all time, and set on Halloween which is just perfect!
Hi Carissa! Glad to have you! I was waiting for someone to pick that one! Such a great movie!
Dear Kristen,
I would love to join this blogathon! My name is Tiffany Brannan. I would like to write about “I Married a Witch” from 1942. I’m curious to know from what film the picture at the top of this post comes!
By the way, I’d like to invite you to join my upcoming blogathon, the Joe Pasternak Blogathon (https://pureentertainmentpreservationsociety.wordpress.com/2020/08/21/announcing-the-joe-pasternak-blogathon/). It’s a celebration of the many wonderful films, particularly musicals, produced by Joe Pasternak during his long career. We would be honored if you could join. We could really use your talent!
Yours Hopefully,
Tiffany Brannan
Hi Tiffany!
So glad to connect with you! You got it! I’ll put you down for I Married a Witch.
I’m sorry I forgot to note the film with the picture. It’s from Blithe Spirit (1945) that I’ll be writing about!
Thanks for inviting me to your blogathon. I have something in mind and will comment over there 🙂
Hi Kristen!
I have finally come up with a film: THE BODY SNATCHER (1945). It’s one of my favourites!
Awesome! You got it! Thanks, Erica! 🙂
That’s a great idea! Can I participate with Eyes Without a Face (1960)? Thanks.
Hi Diana! Thanks! Sure thing. BTW-I loved Ferngully as a kid too! 🙂
Hi Kristen, I should have time to do this blogathon after all, can you add me with Village of the Damned (1960)? from Gill at Realweegiemidget Reviews
Great! Sure thing, Gill!
The best horror movies came out in the 70’s, in my opinion. But the drive-in theaters did have a few good horror movies as early as the late 50’s. I’m thinking about a double feature “I Was a Teenage Werewolf” and “I Was a Teenage Frankenstein” both of which aimed at the then new audience of teenagers at the drive-in.
I am Quiggy and my website is “The Midnite Drive-In”
Nice to connect, Quiggy! That sounds great! Thanks for participating. I get what you’re saying about the 70’s, but I wanted to focus a little earlier since those are the movies I tend to write about 🙂 Glad to have you!
