How could you have forgotten this awesomely bad movie? Demons pinatas are awesome! I also want to inflict this one on someone before I watch it.

But seriously, if I were to suggest a movie (besides any of the original Romero Dead movies), it'd be Return of the Living Dead. Given that it's an unofficial spin-off of Night of the Living Dead (also cause it is referenced in TSW).

Return of the Living Dead, part 2, and part 3 are great. 4 and 5 not so much.

Cabin In the Woods, even as new as it is, became an instant must watch at Halloween for me.

Otherwise;
Trick-R-Treat (there's a Gene Simmons/Ozzy Osbourne movie with the same name that's good too)
Event Horizon
In the Mouth of Madness
Waxwork 1 and 2.


And something silly that's still horror enough;
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark

No way, dude. Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis was great because it had the Borg! If you don't agree, I shall have to feed you to the Tarman!

That was the only saving grace for Necropolis. Mommy and daddy Borg. There was nothing good about Rave to the Grave. They tried to do like 1 and 2 using the same cast, same premise, then changing how it went... and failed kinda horribly. Filming them at the same time and releasing them the same day wasn't the best idea either.

3 is my overall favorite though. Probably because I was old enough that my grandma let me watch something other than Disney, and that was on USA all the time. Likely why I like Melinda Clarke so much now on Nikita. It had the least humor of the bunch, but I like where it went with the pain concept from the first one (once I saw it after we got a video store that had a horror fan as an owner).

And there would be no mommy and daddy Borg without 3 ;)

And if you say that ecstasy made with trioxin was a saving point of 5... The Tarman is the least of your worries :P

I wonder what genius decided to brand name a real medication for ear canal infections, as trioxin. I know the name is used for other things containing formic acid but not as the actual brand name.

I'm more likely to say "Hey you know what's an awesome and faithful to the source material video game movie? House of the Dead!" than try to say Rave had any saving points, except maybe the crossdressing Russians.
