Clue is a highly underrated film.
Movie Theater: Young Frankenstein 10/10. RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time.

Rushmore
The early Harry Potters sometimes fit the bill, focused on entering/returning to school, & several months of autumn on screen.

Trick R Treat, but my favorite os Halloween

I agree Halloween does capture the "fall" feeling despite being filmed the spring and seeing palm trees way out in the distance. They did a good job with the fake leaves and the illusion of cool crisp air.
I agree Creepshow captures that fall look, too. It's one of my fave movies! Creepshow II is weak, but watchable and I never bothered with the third one either.

Aye* While compiling, I wanted to embrace varied genres & even holiday specific fare which has stood the test of my time.

Mostly, but not all. Some Disney classics, Wizard of Oz and such. Quite varied as well, I think.
RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

As I've said countless times: if you don't have the Sad then you don't have the Scary.
HmmmI had never thought of that, but it's a good point. Some of the best horror movies out there have something sad about them which can lead to something very scary. I'll ponder this for a while. Thank you!
American Horror Story Season 6: Donald Trump

The 70's were the best time for horror, I'd say.
RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

'As I've said countless times: if you don't have the Sad then you don't have the Scary.'
Yeah, that's so true.
My favorite horror films are from the Seventies.
Exorcist
when the priest questions his faith after the death of his mother;
Carrie
bullied at school and then again at home with her religious fanatic of a mother;
The Omen
with Gregory Peck and Lee Remick portraying a wealthy couple with everything except a child of their own.
Come to think of it all these films' premises deal with 'mother' or parenting issues.
Anyways by the Eighties - Jason, Freddie and the rest - it was just all about the body count.
Happiness must be earned.

Ironic, too, since the original Halloween was shot in the spring. But they made an effort in making it
feel
like fall: the fallen leaves, etc., even though they had a tiny budget with which to work.
Today, of course, they'd digitally turn all the leaves red, yellow and orange.
And HALLOWEEN being made in the '70s doesn't hurt, as that decade had an intrinsic melancholy which was easily accessed cinematically.
And that's basically it: HALLOWEEN attempted to capture an auntumnal melancholy, and did so thru whatever low-budget tricks they had available to them, and even with the casting of a teenaged Jamie Lee Curtis.
As I've said countless times: if you don't have the Sad then you don't have the Scary.
That's something that most horror directors for the last 35 years seem to completely miss. They just seem to think it's all about the slaughter.
LBJ's mistress on JFK:

Another one is Creepshow. Not so much the stories in between but rather, obviously, the one that bookends them.
Yes, especially the opening scene of the pumpkin in the window! I love Creepshow.

I didn't know it was a comic book adaptation. Intriguing.
RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.

I enjoyed Creepshow.
Its definately one of the best comic book adaptations out there in addition to Sin City

I like the Ted Danson story in creepshow.

Creepshow II - I think the sequel really lacks in stories, but the Raft was a good story on it's own

I didn't even know there was a Creepshow 3.
RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Matt Roberts. You were great.
