'House on Haunted Hill' has more or less replaced 'Nightmare before Christmas' as my yearly spooky movie to watch on Halloween. Regretfully, All Hallow's Eve is not an eventful day in my neck of the woods - the town's too small for anything really interesting to occur, and I am sadly past my prime Trick-or-Treating years (although that wouldn't stop me if I had a group of friends to do it with, but they all live elsewhere) - so I generally just carve a pumpkin, wait fruitlessly for Trick-or-Treaters to come 'round (they never do; the place is too isolated), and watch a spooky movie. Thrillsville. Oh, well - 'House on Haunted Hill' is still a good film.
