#8 looks photoshopped only because its actually clear and visible. However I have with me at the moment the book Ghosts as published by Orbis books in 1984. It features the Newby Church ghost picture and it looks exactly like that, only crisper as its not a jpeg but a printed photo.
"The prize for technical quality in a ghost photograph must go to the Reverend K.F. Lord of Newby, in Yorkshire, who recorded the presence of a very clear, if somewhat stagey, hollow-eyed spook before his altar." from the book.

Thanks for the post Spirit!

Summon Night Swordcraft Story 2 for the GBA. It is quite literally awesome. It's got health drinks of doom, way too spicy curry, super robots, kickass gameplay, you get to forge your own weapons and items (none of that buying crap from stores like in every other RPG), hot demonic sidekicks with angelic split personality problems, and you even get to fight a not-so-ordinary rabbit.
What does it have to do with Halloween you ask? Well, it does have evil jack-o-lantern pumpkin monsters in it.

That should give you a gauge as to how seriously Id like to take Halloween, however I lack his time and resources, and I dont know anyone else even half as into it as I am.

Riding home while listening to the soundtrack to American McGee's Alice, the opening line of this came to mind, and the rest just kind of wrote itself just a moment ago. Storm clouds at dusk Waiting to exhale with fervor the fuhrer of those in hell
Daylight leaves its autumn husk
And the children's footsteps a murmur
Echoing down the decrepit well
Impressionable limbs bend to the will
Of the wind and ways of this hallowed evening
Tree and human alike are weeping
The creaking of doors and rattle of sill
Vision limited by the luna gleaming
And the shadows oppressed and creeping
Atrophied and aloof
The leaves whirlwind asunder
Vacant all the more
Rattling upon every child's roof
And scraping from their ground under
Through this night what will soar?
Arise for fear of sleep
And for what is nearing
For flames that leap
And flesh that is searing
All that shouldnt be
Is all that can be seen
All that devils me
Comes alive on Halloween

I know theres only 2 weeks left till Halloween, but I will give a Bump to this thread since it is autumn once more. Films I have recently watched/re-watched Halloween - Still great, the pacing is wonderful as is the camera work and use of music. The last 15 seconds are some of the scariest in cinema to me.
Resident Evil Extinction - Great popcorn flick, not exactly halloweenish, but it has zombies, crows, and a flamethrower mounted ontop of a school bus.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) - Surprisingly decent considering the budget, who was behind the scenes and having Jessica Biel as a lead.
The Dark - Starring two of those actors you hear about but have no clue what else they have been in, Maria Bello (History of Violence) and Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings) are in rural Wales with their daughter and mysterious happenings begin. I enjoyed this movie quite a bit, as it draws from Welsh mythology and classic creepy homes. Gets a bit unsettling midway through.
Silent Hill - I liked it, watch it simply for the organ music at the end with the barbed wire. Trust me. Also features Sean Bean, with a different attractive blonde exploring the supernatural.
Nightmare Before Christmas - I still love this movie, and still wander around singing the Halloween Town theme.
Other than watching movies at random, I also burned a cd of the Blood and Blood2 soundtracks for driving, and sometimes pop in some Dark Funeral as well.
Somebody else please tell me they too have a problem with compulsively buying halloween decorations, I am running out of room with all the fake tombstones I own now.
