You find yourself hosting a house party on Halloween at which you will show your guests two films appropriate for the occasion. Which two films do you choose?

Somewhere In The Ether…

I’d go for John Carpenter’s original classic, Halloween and then probably Wes Craven’s Scream - which self knowingly delights in poking fun at the slasher genre cliches as we have just watched

In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon

The Wizard of Oz

And

Return to Oz.

Terrifying for various reasons...

Watership down...it's a level of trauma above any horror film...

Think that alone would be enough...

It would have to be Halloween, and you can't go wrong with The Thing.

"The Company Of Wolves & American Werewolf In London"

- both very atmospheric, gothic and quite humorous!

Oh The Company of Wolves is amazing! I love love Angela Carter's stories. I might choose this and Ginger Snaps. Have a witchy gathering.

I think I would have to leave if you showed Return To Oz - I'm still not over the trauma of seeing it as a child...

I would also have to leave if you showed this, for the same reasons as Return To Oz.

I'd be "watching" from behind a book, facing the opposite way, with noise cancelling headphones on...

John Carpenter double-bill! I'll definitely be watching The Thing in the run up to Halloween.

There's a theme in there somewhere...I liked the way Company plays with fairy tale.

I've heard lots of good things about Ginger Snaps but never seen it, I don't think. I'll have to track it down this month.

I think I'd go with Frankenstein (the Boris Karloff version) as it's a stone cold classic, and Island Of Lost Souls because it's not as well known as it should be.

*Or*, if I'm with fellow fans of terrible films, then I'd swap Island Of Lost Souls for the 90s Island Of Dr Moreau with Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer as it's a famous disaster.

If it’s a classic evening then Halloween followed by The Exorcist.

If it’s a contemporary evening then it’s The Descent, followed by the original French version of Martyrs.

The Exocist is playing as part of the cult cinema club at the Genesis cinema in London Thursday night. In case anyone was interested in seeing horror on the big screen.

I wouldn't dare watch that in a cinema as last time I saw it I laughed like a drain and that might not go down well...

I'm going to go for "The house of 1000 corpses" and "The Devils rejects" as Rob Zombie gets such s hard time from the critics. I'm actually about to watch his version of "Halloween" which (controversial opinion warning) IS MUCH BETTER THAN JOHN CARPENTERS
