Halloween Movies Recommended by Girl's Guide to the Apololypse

A Modern Girl's Guide to Surviving the Apocalypse runs down some Halloween classics:

5. SLEEPY HOLLOW (1999)
No one understands Halloween QUITE like our good friend Tim Burton. (The visually stunning and distinct milieu of Burton’s extensive body of work inspired us Horsewomen when we were designing the overall look and theme of our beloved apocalypse. Can you tell?) And nowhere does the Halloween atmosphere seep into your bones like it does in the small, damp, chilly town of Sleepy Hollow. Annnnd, it’s got Johnny Depp.

10. THE NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968)
While modern zombie movies are more concerned with running from the virus at breakneck speed (28 Days Later), or poking fun at our brain-challenged friends (Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, ahem), George Romaro’s classic masterpiece was about the quiet terror the characters experienced while WAITING for the zombies to arrive. Just sittin' around, fighting, and filling their fortress house with tension. Now THAT’s a brooding atmosphere you can really take a… bite… out of?
