Given the current state of the world, it’s safe to assume the only festive activity happening this Halloween will involve being snuggled on the couch inside your own home, probably enjoying a marathon of horror films.
Maybe your choices include the first film that scared you as a child or one you can passionately discuss with like-minded individuals. They might be films you traditionally watch every October 31st. Whatever the reason, these films have stayed with you.

What is so good about being bad?
We root for James Bond and “Alien’s” Ripley to win, but they’re at their best when they’re matched with a charismatic baddie. Sure, we know Bond will triumph in the end, but we need to believe at least for a couple of hours that the villain will get close to shutting down the power grid or laser-beaming the Earth’s core or whatever it is he wants to do.
