Various staff at The Connector give their recommendations on their favorite horror movie to watch around Halloween:

Evil Dead II 

“It combines slapstick comedy, thrilling horror and Bruce Campbell’s chin in what is, my opinion, the best movie ever, horror or otherwise.” – Sidney Parks, Art Director

The Cabin in the Woods 

“I love movies that take a genre and turn it upside down and this movie does that so well. It has the classic staples of a standard horror film with an awesome twist.” – Emma Dakin, News Editor

What We Do in the Shadows

“It’s a Halloween movie that’s comedic for those who dislike traditional horror films. The director has a really unique style that makes the humor feel natural rather than forced.” – Anya Haber, Fashion Editor

Battle Royale

“Murder.” – Matthew Cornwall, Editor-in-Chief

The Wizard of Gore – Jarrod Fouts, Opinions Editor

“Super trippy, strange and psychedelic 70’s B movie horror flick about a magician who murders stage volunteers with props in front of a live audience. The early makeup and special effects actually make the scenes, like literally sawing a woman in half, much more visceral and disturbing than anything I’ve seen in the modern day.”
