I’ve never been much of a Halloween person to begin with, but I did get into the habit of attending a few bar parties over the years. I liked to go to the ones with big-money contests for the best costume because those always draw great crowds. Plus, it’s fun to see all the costumes — I can’t believe how much time and effort (and money) some people put into their Halloween outfits!

This year, however, I’m just going to stay in. I’m planning on watching a DVD, which I normally wouldn’t do on Halloween because of the constant interruptions from trick-or-treaters. But I recently moved and am now in kind of a remote area that shouldn’t draw too many kids, so I figure a movie will be ok. (I did buy some mini Snickers bars just in case, though.)

So what movie do I consider scary enough to be viewed on Halloween night? The Exorcist, of course! I still think The Exorcist is one of the scariest movies out there, and it’s definitely the scariest movie I’ve ever seen. I have always been of the opinion that horror movies in which the plot has a chance of happening in real life are much scarier than stuff featuring monsters or whatever. So the Nightmare on Elm Street series and the Child’s Play series just don’t cut it for me. It’s movies like The Exorcist that make me look over my shoulder a hundred times or jump at the slightest noise.
