fannish5: Halloween viewings

[selenak]

Name 5 episodes or movies that would be most appropriate to watch on Halloween.

My pleasure. As a German who knows Halloween only from tv and the movies, you know, though in the last decade or so it started to come into fashion here as well.

1) Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Hush. BTVS did a couple of genuine Halloween-set episodes, but sadly, none

Re: using "Hush" as a hooking tool for Buffy:

That is how my friend got *me* hooked. I testify to its efficacy!

I tried it successfully out on two people so far. Shiny, shiny episode.

I dunno, for a Farscape Halloween episode, I would pick "Eat Me". It's scary as hell, and more self-contained.

ETA: but your other choices are FANTASTIC. Esp Ed Wood. I love that movie so much.

[selenak]

True re the scariness of "Eat Me" - and the self containedness - but I have an irrational love for Kansas that made me go for it anyway.

Ed Wood: deserves all the love it can get. I'm always glad to find people who know the film!

I think my favorite scene in "Kansas" is Aeryn watching Sesame Street. Funny on so many, many levels. :)

[selenak]

That was an adorable scene, yes. Aw, Jim Henson and descendants, you gave the world so many enjoyable things...

"Hush" is definitely one of the creepiest episodes of TV I've ever seen.

And I'm just an episode or two short of "Kansas" on Farscape S4--maybe I'll watch it tonight!

[selenak]

Enjoy, tonight or later! I do love it a lot. Though I tend to watch it and Terra Firma back to back, TF being hands down the best of the s4 episodes.

E.T. is one of my all-time favorite movies. I wrote a paper a few years back on the parallels between it and The Wizard of Oz.

I remember; you linked it! (And a good paper it was, too.)
