One of my favorites

I was only two years old when this movie first aired on TV and my aunt recorded it for Halloween. I've grown up watching it. I love it! It's got great monsters, Wolfman Jack (who can beat that?!) and great Halloween fun. I have it on tape and watch it every Halloween. I recommend this to anyone who is a lover of the fun Halloween holiday and who has good taste in a classic thriller/comedy/romance. :)
