Cult Labs - Top Ten Tuesdays

I don't know if that's intentional, kierarts, but interesting to see you chose John Carpenter's Halloween, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, and Rob Zombie's Halloween II.

Halloween is a landmark imo and had to be in the list.
Halloween 3 is an attempt at something different and in spite of its flaws is a very entertaining and memorable chiller with a great plot.

Zombies halloween 2 is very much underrated and better than a lot of the 'sequels'. Its got some stunning imagery and some interesting ideas that take the film to some very dark & strange places. Its reputation as a bad film is unfair.

I didn't realise Ginger Snaps and Sleepy Hollow took place on Halloween. Add them to my list. ;)

Halloween isn't specifically mentioned in Sleepy Hollow, but everything points to it taking place at the end of October. The events in Ginger Snaps occur in October and culminate on Halloween.

I always took the pumpkin scarecrows to suggest Halloween.

I don't know if that's inferred rather than overt, and don't even know if Halloween (or All Hallows' Eve) was much of a 'thing' in those days.

Not perhaps in Haddonfield :skull: but in places where British, Irish and European immigrants settled it was. So Sleepy Hollow - Dutch and British, would have recognized the old customs and used the burning pumpkins out in the fields as beacons to ward off the evil spirits.
