My Campy Halloween Movies (sh.itjust.works)

I'm doing a month-long series of campy, classic and unique horror movies. I'm pretty liberal in what gets included, trying for a lot of variety. I'm particularly a fan of spooky comedies (like the Burbs), and generally avoiding big franchise horror series to see more unique stuff.

I'm enjoying seeing so many movies I would never come across any other way, even if many of them aren't all that great. So far my favorite is probably Cabin in the Woods or Happy Death Day.

Anything I should add to the list?

Oh Tremors is a great idea! And I've been debating whether to watch John Dies at the End because I love the books and wasn't sure if the movie would be as good. Will add that to the list. Thanks!

Honestly, if you loved the books, you might enjoy the movie more but the books are definitely better. Some of the twists and shocks don't play as well in the movie as they did in the book.
