Time to Get Spooooky

With Halloween quickly approaching, I want to put together at least a few posts celebrating my favorite holiday of the year (take that Birth/Resurrection of Jesus!). Sorry. That was uncalled for. Especially when effing Flag Day is really the bain of my existence.

Anyway, to get things started, I have returned to the familiar stomping grounds of the Sci-Fi network. They're offering some bold pictures for the Halloween season. Here are some titles to look out for. I'm using the Sci-Fi promo copy to describe them, because it's too good to mess with. I'll throw my $.02 in, as well.

Wraiths of Roanoke: "They came from England to tame the New World, only to become the prey of an ancient evil."

--The lovely Sherpa and I caught about 7 minutes of this gem. It looks fantastic. People wearing colony garb; talking in colony speak. The guy who played the Highlander on the TV show (apparently, there can be more than one) is the lead colony dude, and a guy who did voice work in what I believe is the third installment of The Mangler is also in it, so you know it's good. I caught a glimpse of a fine pilgrim woman, a terrible leftover set from Last of the Mohicans, and a dangling corpse.
Projected Grieco Rating: 3-Griecos

The Grave Dancers: "Three friends accidentally invoke an ancient curse that can kill them all."

--I hate it when that happens. The poster features what I guess is one of the titular villains. He looks like a cross between Gollum, a C.H.U.D., Pumpkinhead, and a kindly old dwarf professor.
Projected Grieco Rating: 4-Griecos

Something Beneath: "Subterranean Humanoids prey on scientists at an ecological summit."

--Speaking of C.H.U.D.s. The poster for this looks like a cheap X-files ripoff, and while I applaud the topicality of an eco summit, it sounds kind of lame.
Projected Grieco Rating: 2 1/2-Griecos (the ½ is for the subterranean humanoid)

Hopefully, these three spoooky films will get you started. I'll try to find some horror films that are actually good to highlight, as well. Your suggestions, as always, are welcome. Oh, Sci-Fi also just showed a movie in which a guy receiving oral pleasures from a hooker finds that whilst in the process, the hooker has been decapitated by a really quiet psycho killer. I'm looking for the title as we speak, because I'm pretty sure that will bust the Grieco rating system altogether.
