What better way to celebrate Halloween than with two of the only scary movies to actually be genuinely terrifying? Night of the Living Dead reminds you why zombie movies used to be frightening with its lo-fi black-and-white creepiness. But the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre is one of the most fucked-up things ever put to film—a nihilistic journey to the heart of darkness that latter-day horror directors simply can’t begin to emulate. If you’ve never seen it before, the ending of Massacre will leave you slack-jawed and reeling over your burger and beer. (King’s Hardware, 5225 Ballard Ave NW, 782-0027, 8 pm, free)

If you want to stay Hill centric (two block radius, anyone?) there will be a double feature at the Broadway Market tonight of Bride of Frankenstein (at 7pm) and Carrie (at 9pm). Bride is a truly beautiful film, if not so scary. Carrie (Brian dePalma, Sissy Spacek, John Travolta, Betty Buckley!) is one of my all time favorites. Free, free, free, free…
