I don’t know if April really is the cruelest month, but October? Clearly the most awesome. Halloween season is upon us, my friends, and I, for one, am ready for it.

Even my Mr. Potato Head has a costume.

Before we get to today’s poll, I had a request for a shout-out. For those of you who like horror movies, there’s a challenge up on Livejournal that starts today. You can read up about it here, but the basic gist of it is this: watch one horror movie for every day in October and, for those of you with blogs and/or LJ accounts, write a brief review about each one. I’d actually like to participate myself — it sounds like a lot of fun, and it would be a great way to watch all the horror movies I’m behind on — but the thing is, I like listening to myself talk, clearly, and it would drive me crazy not to write my profanity-laced epics on each and every one of the films. (And if you’re suggesting I write 31 epic-sized reviews in a month . . . bite me. That’s all I have to say to you, sir.)

Now, for your poll . . .

Please don’t feel like you need to have seen all of these movies to vote. I’m asking about movies that were made over fifty years ago . . . if you’ve seen one of these films and liked it, I want to hear about it.

Poll will be closed next Monday, October 8th. Results will follow shortly thereafter.
