From now through Halloween, I’ll post a daily movie recommendation that’ll help get you in the mood, perhaps even inspire you before all the little goblins and gremlins arrive on your doorstep.
 
 

 
 

 
 
The night before labor is to be induced by her doctor, a woman goes home to rest. A stranger knocks at the door. She wants something inside. Something inside the house. Something inside the expecting mother.
 

INSIDE, a French movie released in the States in 2007, is the last movie that really scared the shit out of me. Everyone I’ve recommended it to has agreed. Don’t let the subtitles frighten you away … the film will take care of that. There isn’t much dialogue anyway, and you don’t need subtitles to translate screams. And there are a lot of screams. Mind the volume on your television … my neighbors looked at me very strangely for a couple days after I watched it.
