Top Three Halloween Movie Picks by You
1. John Carpenter's Halloween (1978)

Released four years before Halloween, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was directed by a filmmaker born in.. -- surprise! -- Austin, Texas. The cast of relatively unknown actors was drawn mainly from central Texas. The concept arose while director Tobe Hooper was working as a documentary cameraman.
3. Hocus Pocus (1993)

This Walt Disney Pictures production was directed by a guy who had been in his mid-twenties the year The Texas Chain Saw Massacre hit the screens. Palo Alto, California-born director Kenny Ortega also directed concert tours for the likes of Cher, Gloria Estefan, Hannah Montana, and Michael Jackson.
Wishing you a spook-tacular Halloween! :)
