Horrific Halloween Movies - Recommendations?
I've got some friends coming over on Halloween and my family will be flying in for the weekend. I want to make the weekend one to remember as I'll be celebrating it with those close to my heart.
Recommend some movies to scare the bejeezus out of them.

In the Mouth of Madness
Night of the Living Dead (George Romero's original)
The Hound of Baskervilles
The Dunwich Horror
Sleepy Hollow
The Resurrected
And though not exactly all that horrific, I make it a habit to watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Halloween.

The Evil Dead Trilogy (Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness)
The first is less comedic while the second and third incorporate a fair amount of slapstick with genuine horror. I especially liked the Farewell To Arms joke in the second movie.
Hellraiser 1-8 (5-8 are fairly cerebral compared to the first four, but they're also more disturbing)
