I heartily agree with the recommendation of the original "The Haunting," especially since you can now get it digitally restored--not, unfortunately, with a Dolby 5.1 remix, as some were hoping (the movie relies on really scary noises, and would have been enhanced by a remix). And ditto to the person who recommended "The Changeling," another very stylish and opulent ghost movie (with ties to "The Haunting") which IS in stereo, and very creepy-sounding it is. It scared the gee-whillikers out of me, personally.

If yer in a Tiki-style drinking mood, I would recommend "The Killer Shrews," which features lots of drinking and was made by the evil director Ray Kellogg, who was also responsible for "The Giant Gila Monster," a film that features no drinking to speak of, but demands drinking to help the viewer get through it.

John Carpenter's "Halloween" and "The Fog" also both feature decent amounts of drinking, for those looking for some inspiration.

Hot Buttered Rums all around!
