Step 1
Pick out scary movies. Have at least three to five for your guests to pick from or choose three and decide the order to play them. When picking your movies, choose a theme.Choose Jamie Lee Curtis movies and begin with the classic "Halloween," about a psychotic murderer who goes on a rampage after escaping from a mental hospital. Rent the three "Scream" movies, starring Courtney Cox and David Arquette, about a psychopathic killer who is after a group of teens.Try "Friday the 13th," about the game of killing the camp counselor, or "Nightmare on Elm Street." Top it off with "Freddy vs. Jason."If you're looking for really ridiculous plots, try "Braindead"--about the dead mother who comes back and eats the neighbors and friends.
