Come out, come out whereever you are.

It’s that time of year again, when all the freaky ghouls and goblins come out at night to haunt unsuspecting souls.

Speaking of freaky ghouls and goblins, what is Halloween without the spooky, grotesque movies we all love to watch?

Some people like Halloween movies because they’re graphic and impractical. They contain guts, blood and horrific scenes. Other people enjoy watching films that are a little more realistic, where the thrill lasts longer.

Which Halloween movies are most popular on Sacramento State’s campus? Wes Craven’s popular “A Nightmare on Elm Street” series comes to mind.

“I don’t think that I liked the series as much as I liked the character,” said biology major Demone Weary. “Freddy had the face, the playa -pimpish hat, and the claws. He had charisma and he added personality to his murders. Freddy was funny.”What is a good murder if you don’t add personality to it? Weary has a point.

“One of my favorite movies is Friday the 13th,” said criminal justice major Terry Dumford. “It was original. The mask, the way they made it believable to the audience was off the hook.”

Any scary movie worth watching needs that element of originality, like “The Thing.”

“There aren’t many movies that are original,” said Ashley Gaines, sociology major. “But ‘The Thing’ was good. It was about aliens and outter-space creatures. If there was a sequel for it, I know it would have been scarier.”

Who can forget the demonized little girl who had a hard time keeping her head from spinning in “The Exorcist?”

“‘The Exorcist’ was really scary because things like that really do happen,” said international business major Jamie del Carpio. “There are little flashes that appear in the movie. They look like pictures of eyes, demons and shadows. That is what really tripped me out.”

Many fans of scary movies found the genre’s earlier works to be psychological thrillers. One such film was “The Attack of the Killer Clowns,” according to communications studies major Jamal Bourne.

“I saw it when I was little. This movie gave me a phobia of clowns for a long time,” he said. “The clowns had vampire teeth, sucked blood and wrapped people up in cotton candy cocoons. It was my favorite because it was hella scary and looked so real.”
