It's October! The doorway to not only the start of the greatest food
season (early October to Christmas), but also to sexy nurses, zombies,
and grown men dressing up like ponies. That also means it is time once
again for Halloween Movie Madness! This year, I'll be taking a
look back at the movies of my youth. Every movie this year was released
before I turned eighteen. These are the Halloween movies that shaped
me into the man I am today. Some of them are scary. Some are funny.
Some are fantastical. Some are just weird. And not all of them are
good. But to me, they are all Halloween movies. Now, stand back, for
your own safety!
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
1987
Right now, some of you are trying to figure out why I watched A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, and not the original. That's because this was the first movie in the series that I saw. In the theater on opening weekend, no less. This movie scared me. A lot. I also loved it. A lot. So much so that I had my step-mom buy me the novelization of the first three movies and rent me the first two on VHS. This movie didn't just hook me into the series, it grabbed me, lifted me up, and impaled me on a meat hook in cold storage.
