I had considered Monster Squad for my list but was not able to snip out the problematic bits.If you mentally snip out the problematic bits, it stands out as the top of the heap in the Kids v. Monsters subgenre
You can also ask Mogri to look the lists up.The shot of Dracula working his way through the cops is pretty good.
BTW, the masterlist is caught up with this list, links and all. Its going to get locked up again at the end of the weekend so I'll wait a month or so to update it again (BTW, if any previous host hasn't sent me a list of a previous list you hosted, please do if you can. It will help a lot until the TT archive comes back up).

Pretty sure this was also a decision in Flash Gordon.then rolls up their sleeve revealing a concentration camp tattoo. Good lord.
The Others (Spanish: Los otros) is a 2001 English-language Spanish gothic supernatural psychological horror film. It was written, directed, and scored by Alejandro Amenábar. It stars Nicole Kidman, Fionnula Flanagan, Christopher Eccleston, Elaine Cassidy, Eric Sykes, Alakina Mann and James Bentley. The film follows a woman who lives in her darkened old family house with her two photosensitive children and becomes convinced that the home is haunted.
The Nightmare Before Christmas is a 1993 American stop-motion animated musical dark fantasy film directed by Henry Selick and produced and conceived by Tim Burton. It tells the story of Jack Skellington, the King of "Halloween Town" who stumbles through a portal to "Christmas Town" and becomes obsessed with celebrating the holiday. Danny Elfman wrote the songs and score, and provided the singing voice of Jack. The principal voice cast also includes Chris Sarandon, Catherine O'Hara, William Hickey, Ken Page, Paul Reubens, Glenn Shadix, and Ed Ivory.
Despite having a twist that has been done many times before, its a film that earns it and is a powerful and touching ghost story.
Is there a sequel to this Nightmare movie? I want to see Jack go to all the other holidays. Where’s my Jack Skellington cinematic universe!?
Let's see the Oogie Boogie Man hunt down all of the infinity stones.
The real horror is that the movie we're describing doesn't exist.
A year after the film, Jack Skellington once again feels Halloween has become dull and repetitive. He talks with Dr. Finkelstein improving the next Halloween with new scares and discoveries. The doctor gives Jack the "Soul Robber", a green, whip-like weapon. He then leaves to look for new frights; remembering his lesson from before, Jack searches solely in his world. Equally bored Lock, Shock, and Barrel revive Oogie Boogie, who brainwashes Dr. Finkelstein into creating minions for him. Oogie also kidnaps five of the seven Holiday World leaders. Oogie plans to become the "Seven-Holidays King" once he takes control of Christmas Town. But on December 23, Sally manages to send a magical paper airplane to find Jack to warn him of what has happened.
I would watch an aliens vs. ghosts movie. But not aliens who are ghosts. YA BURNED ME, FINAL FANTASY: THE SPIRITS WITHIN!So far this is the first movie on the list that is basically unknown to me. In fact I had it confused with some Shymalan movie!
The eternal conundrum. "Dammit why is there so damn much merch for thi- Oh hey, that is a sweet mug/statuette/poster/geegaw"Nightmare Before Christmas is one of those things that I actually do like, but the fanbase is so totally obnoxious about it that I'm kinda fine with it just hanging out in the periphery for the rest of my life. Years of hanging out in spooky bars/nightclubs in my 20s led to it being pretty inescapable, whether via a wealth of merchandise or the film itself getting played on the TVs in said establishments on repeat basically between October 31st and the end of the year.
Which is too bad, because I really do like the visuals and the songs and the performances.
Annihilation is a 2018 science fiction horror film written and directed by Alex Garland, based on the 2014 novel of the same name by Jeff VanderMeer. It stars Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny, and Oscar Isaac. The story follows a group of explorers who enter "The Shimmer", a mysterious quarantined zone of mutating plants and animals caused by an alien presence.
Ghostbusters is a 1984 American supernatural comedy film directed by Ivan Reitman and written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. It stars Bill Murray, Aykroyd, and Ramis as Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, and Egon Spengler, a trio of eccentric parapsychologists who start a ghost-catching business in New York City. The film also stars Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis, and features Annie Potts, William Atherton, and Ernie Hudson in supporting roles.
Only one of these two films was a horror movie.
Yeah, Annihilation was really --
No, it was Ghostbusters.
What?
Yeah! If I ran into one of those guys, they'd zap me with a thing, then they'd stash me in laser containment for the rest of eternity! And they'd make a joke about it! I'm horrified!
Well, not the scariest
