The Dancing Ghosts of Habersham Cemetery
I had never met the guy before that night, and what my friends and I did was extremely foolish. Given the crowd we rolled with, it was fortunate that we didn't end up as ghosts ourselves.

The Top Zombie Films You Need to See
"White Zombie" (1932) (Gene pick) This film is significant for two huge reasons. One, it's the first time the word "zombie" is used in a film. Two, it's the inspiration for the name of Rob Zombie's original band, White Zombie. There's a good reason it inspired him, it's a surprisingly good film. Set in Haiti, Bela Lugosi plays Legendre, a voodoo master loosely associated with the owner of a local sugar plantation. When the plantation owner falls in love with a beautiful guest engaged to another man, he turns to Legendre to make her do what he wants. Legendre has been the secret of the owner's success before, since most of the plantation workers are in fact zombies.

Intimacy
Maxine wouldn’t settle down. She started with a gruff little yap just before six o’clock, after Riley got home from the office but before he turned on the shower. She growled in short bursts while Ana frantically chopped carrots and onions to throw in the pressure cooker. After the Holloways rang the doorbell, she whined and howled and snapped with barely a breath through dinner, the kitchen table board games, and into the post-dinner wine selection.

The Top Werewolf Films You Need to See
"The Wolf Man" (1941) (Gene pick) The film that launched a franchise, and made Lon Chaney, Jr. a star, this is the iconic film most people think of if they think of a werewolf movie. Chaney plays Larry Talbot, a man who survives a werewolf attack, only to find himself turning into a werewolf himself when the moon is full. Talbot is a great everyman who hates that he becomes a monster that could hurt or kill anyone, including those he loves. Bela Lugosi and Maria Ospenskaya have small but key roles as gypsies who tell Talbot about his curse, and legendary actor Claude ("Casablanca") Rains plays Talbot's father, who must cure or stop his son.

The Top Vampire Movies You Need to See
Nosferatu (1922): Max Schreck, Alexander Granach, Gustav von Wangenheim (Gene pick) This film is iconic. Even if you've never seen it, you've probably seen clips from it, as they frequently show up in other films, or in montages of vampire films. It's an unauthorized adaption of "Dracula," which shows vampires as they were originally thought to be - horrific undead creatures that used to be human, that sort of remember being human, but clearly they are human no longer.
