I think we can include films of a Halloween mood. I count the Crow.

In reply to Otto Maddox:

Watched this the other night, good dark humor in this one I got a few chuckles.
Some other good ones.
Dead Alive Friday the 13th Day of the Dead The Final Hatchet
Zombie diaries. Its british. There is a part 2 that I will try to find for this year.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT! WE MADE YOU! WE MADE YOU!
WHAT? No one mentioned The Thing.
Actually, should that be The Things...as they just released / are about to release yet another version. I don't consider the James Arness version (the original) to be all that scary, but the 2nd? 3rd version? done by...? John Carpenter, I think, freaked me out. I mean monsters that try to duplicate any living thing they get a bit of blood from.
And being a car guy, the scary movie by Stephen King that no one named....Christine.
Dead Alive is not only my favorite gore flick, it's just a great berkeleying movie. When it comes down to it, it's a love story. When I heard Peter Jackson was directing LOTR, I was like "Well, there's no way it's that Peter Jackson." If you don't like silly ultra-violence it's not for you.
No one mentioned Nightmare on Elm Street (the original- not the crappy reruns part 1-468).
'nother vote for Silence of the Lambs- hard to beat.
The classic campy horror- Night of the Living Dead (guess that one falls into the Zombie category)
I watched the Scream trilogy over the weekend while I continued to paint my basement. The first one holds up pretty well. The 2nd and 3rd aren't that bad either.
halloween monster movies > plain old run of the mill horror movies.
I loved the friday the 13th series, Nightmare on Elm street, Alien series, Screams, Stephen King flicks, Bruce Campbell is the man, yadda yadda yadda...I could go on for hours about horror films. But there is SOMETHING intrinsically correct about monster flicks at the end of October that makes them a far better choice than most of the horror genre during the season.
YMMV
