Please don't watch the remake of HoHH it ruins it really. HoHH is my favorite haunted movie by Vincent Price and he is my favorite horror movie actor.
My favorite director is Alfred Hitchcock and my favorite movie is The Birds.
I also have Vertico I was enthralled to the end and the ending had a suspenseful twist I was like oh wow.
And I have a two disk three movie set of some of his earlier work one Murderer is quite intriguing and also unrespecting ending. I have yet to see the other two Sabotage and Jamaican Inn I am saving to watch them on Halloween. I plan watch a lot of horror movies on Halloween all night long. [Reply]

If it wasn't for playing Dying Light and Dying Light the Following about every night I'd be watching scary movies every night. I just happen to enjoy killing Zombies a lot and keep from getting killed myself. That ending was about as good of a horror flick as I've ever seen too. That bitch 'Mother' was a bitch to beat. I was like stay down bitch! Stay down bitch! Still fun playing it because it's like living in a movie. [Reply]

Running over zombies in a dune buggy with electrifying grill is the greatest thing since blowing up a Gremlin in a microwave. [Reply]

I think you may be disappointed if you save those two for a special occasion. "Sabotage" is ok and it's fun to see how cute the old lady from Beetlejuice used to be...
... but Jamaica Inn is really bad. On paper it should be amazing: the source book by Daphne Du Maurier is a pretty good potboiler with a lot of atmosphere, Charles Laughton was at his peak, and Maureen O'Hara was beautiful, but none of it comes together. It's terrible. What makes it even more surprising is that Hichcock was able to make the somewhat similar movie "Rebecca" into a classic just a year or two later.
There is a made for tv version of "Jamaica Inn" from 1983 that is much better, imo. It stars Jane Seymour and Patrick McGoohan.
Have you watched any episodes of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" of "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour"? Those may make some good Halloween viewing.
A few good episodes off the top of my head:
Alfred Hitchcock Presents:
Revenge
Where Beauty Lies
Specialty of the House
Man from the South
No Pain
Apex
Poison
A Man with a Problem
The Right Kind of House
None are So Blind
The Alfred Hitchcock Hour:
The Jar
An Unlocked Window
A few more non classic movies for the less discriminating:
Deathdream (1972)
The Entity (1981)
Martin (1977)
Dead & Buried (1981)
Razorback (1984)
Rituals (1977)
Society (1989)
Slither (2006)
Dead Heat (1988)
Long Weekend (1978)
Suspense:
No Place to Hide (1981)
Murder by Natural Causes (1979) [Reply]
