This week's Thursday Movie Picks is Halloween Edition - Creature/Monster Features (NO Aliens/Vampires/Zombies/Werewolves)

Hey it's October and the whole of this month I'm running the Halloween Edition. Take a look at what's in store for the rest of the weeks.

October 6 - Halloween Edition: Witches/Warlock
October 13 - Halloween Edition:  Creature/Monster Features (NO Aliens/Vampires/Zombies/Werewolves) (Example of Creature/Monsters: Cujo)
October 20 - Halloween Edition: Science Fiction Horror
October 27 - Halloween Edition: Epidemic/Pandemic/Outbreak

I hope this week's theme isn't too challenging. I feel we've already had a lot of aliens, vampires, zombies and werewolves; time for other sort of monsters to get picked...giants, dragons, rabid animals, etc....take your pick.
  

Trick 'r Treat (2007) 
I think if you love Halloween, trick or treating, costumes and urban legends you just have to watch this. It has a bunch of interwoven stories all set on one Halloween night. Lots of monsters in this one including the creature with the burlap covered head that's on the poster.  

Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
One of my favorite movies. While I do think the real monster in this Ofelia's stepfather, the other worldly creatures are memorably creepy.

Death Note (2006)
There has been talk of an American remake for this for the longest time and it looks like it's finally happening; I think Netflix is doing a movie or TV series. Anyway the monstrous creature in this is Ryuk a god of death of some kind and in this 2006 Japanese adaptation he looks like a metal goth joker - the cgi work isn't really good so am looking forward to see how he'll look in the new adaptation. The gist of the story, Ryuk drops his "Death Note" a notebook, that gives anyone the power to kill by writing the name of that person, which is picked up by a college student. Disappointed by the injustice he sees, the student decides to rid the world of criminals.
