re: Favorite horror or Halloween movies ?

There are a lot of really good fright night movies noted here, but one did not get mentioned. Arsenic and Old Lace. This thing is actually a great comedy set around Halloween in Brooklyn in the 1940’s and made in black and white by Frank Capra. Cary Grant, Peter Lorrie, Raymond Massie and dozens of character actors from the era. Do yourself a favor: dial it up and watch it with your kids, grandkids, or your parents or grandparents. You’ll be entertained.
