yup...that was the finale.

Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
Its heaven and hell, oh well

Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

yeah, that's unsettling on many levels :x just like the mass killing of children with disabilities :evil: but in the end, karma (and sam) prevailed :twisted:

That's how I'll remember him. LOL. I once saw a pic of "Dan" sitting at a final season production meeting holding up a sign reading "HELP US" in reference to Roseanne's madness.
Trick or treat was sweet. I think I like the story of the Wicca girl being tormented by the rich kids. Sweet revenge.
I like movies that depict how peoples worlds intertwine. There's only a few degrees of separation between you and everyone else, and everyone has some sort of craziness going on. Good movie.
Oh, your so cool, Brewster!
Hey, Butchy. They still got Oreo's next door?
Dracula's in the house!!! In the house?!
Welcome to the party, Honey!

The first three Halloween movies, the Evil Deads, and the George Romero zombie films.
Then,
Ghost Story (1981)
The Haunting (original)
The Funhouse
Phantasm
The Raven (1963)
Re-Animator
The Fog (original)
Dead and Buried
Fiend Without A Face
Legend of Hell House
Return of the Living Dead
The Thing (both the original and the John Carpenter remake)

Other than those, I use an anniversary system to select movies to watch during October.
Movies that were made 10, 20, 25, 50, and 75 years ago.
