Movies, TV, games, whatever. Note that I have already consumed like 90% of the shit you are going to recommend, and I will hate those that recommend "repeats" more than I already hate them. I am going to go get a bottle of moderately priced scotch. I expect RESULTS PEOPLE.

I just finished watching The Changeling and Angel Heart. Angel Heart was a first for me. Lisa Bonet was boner inspiring.

All I can think of is AMC's movie marathon, but I'm sure you've seen all or most of them.

Drink about half of your scotch, and then go see Quarantine in theaters.
After they inevitably throw you out for heckling, go home and watch The Changeling! :hyper

I've posted this before, and it's a tad outside of what you're looking for, but considering you've likely seen most of the obvious stuff, this little flick is pretty interesting and a tad unsettling. No plot to it, obviously, but entertaining in a somber sort of fashion.
From Wiki:
Wisconsin Death Trip is a non-fiction book by Michael Lesy, first published in 1973. It has been adapted into a film.
The book is based on a collection of late 19th century photographs by Jackson County, Wisconsin photographer Charles Van Schaick, mostly in the town of Black River Falls, and local news reports from the same period. It emphasizes the harsh aspects of Midwestern rural life under the pressures of crime, disease, mental illness, and urbanization.
The film was directed by James Marsh and starred Marcus Monroe and released in 2000. In a docudrama style, and shot entirely in black-and-white (except for contrasting sequences of modern life in the area, in color), it combined re-enactments of some of the events described in the book with a voice-over narration by Ian Holm. Its visual style was intended to carry the content of the film - as Marsh said:
"I wanted to convey in the film the real pathos contained in a four line newspaper report that simultaneously records and dismisses the end of someone’s life" [1]
The book has also inspired the homonymous album by the band Static-X, a song by the Bethel Maine-based thrash metal band Theory of Negativity off of their 1994 self-titled album, and an opera entitled Black River (composed 1975, revised 1981) by Conrad Susa. .
Most recently, the book was adapted into a bluegrass, roots-rock opera by Tim Raphael and composer Jeff Berkson, making its world premiere at Georgetown University's Davis Performing Arts Center on February 1st, 2008.
Wisconsin Death Trip is also the name of an ambient/electronic musical artist from Portland, Maine.
The Australian author Rod Jones cites Wisconsin Death Trip as an inspiration for his novel Billy Sunday. Billy Sunday was described as "The Great American Novel" by the Boston Globe. (Review by Melvin Jules Bukiet, The Boston Sunday Globe, June 9, 1996).
According to the director's commentary on the 2-disc DVD release of the Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There, director Todd Haynes explained that much of the imagery for the town of Riddle in the Richard Gere segment of the film was inspired by Lesy's book of photographs.

American Gothic.
One of several short-lived horror/sci-fi network shows created in the wake of The X-Files' success. It has Gary Cole!
Also Profit, which isn't really Halloweenie but is still lots of fun.

I've been meaning to check out Profit, but I haven't been able to find the DVD set in the several places I have looked. I may just pirate it and then snag it when I do find it.

Used to watch it every Halloween while I stayed in, getting pissed that I wasn't allowed to tricker treat (no wonder I hate Halloween to this day). But anyway I loved this movie
