Halloween Playlist & Watch List 2015

"It's the most wonderful time of the year!". Yes, here at Laughing Vixen Lounge that would refer to October and the Lounge's favorite holiday, Halloween. This Vixen is happy to announce that this year our biggest and best Giveaway Event is back. The 4th annual Attack of the 14 Nights of Halloween Giveaway featuring our Halloween Movie Marathon and Murder Mystery Scavenger Hunt. While the event has been scaled back this year to only 2 weeks (vs. the entire month) we are starting the festivities early. Keep an eye out for random holiday fun before everything starts on the 18th.

It Conquered the World  (1956)

~ Halloween Playlist ~

Sit back and enjoy some holiday tunes on the Lounge Jukebox. You'll see it up there at the top of the page in black. Click the little white box on the right end of the player for a drop-down menu of songs. You can use the Fast Forward, Play, Pause and Rewind buttons on the left end of the player. And, if you would prefer to not listen, you can hit the mute on your PC/device or turn down the volume on the player (right side).
***Please Note*** This player is a bit temperamental. If you get an error code instead of the song simply skip past the song and then back to it. Sometimes it just does not load the first time. And sometimes, if there is no error code, if may just be a little slow to start.

I was a Teenage Werewolf  (1957)

~ Halloween Watch List ~

Since our Halloween Movie Marathon will only run 2 weeks this year I have put together a list of movies and TV shows to give you some ideas for holiday viewing. They are broken down into genres and are listed from oldest to newest. If the movie has a remake it is listed below the original. This will help you find all versions or the version that most appeals to you. Of course here at the Lounge we always encourage you to watch the original! Many below do have sequels (and some many sequels!!!) so do Google if you are interested in a complete list for any title.

Please comment below with your favorites. This is only a small sampling of all the great spooky fun that is out there. Share more titles with us so everyone can find something new to enjoy or something old to enjoy again. Happy viewing!
