I rigged up a giant screen and have a projector I bought on sale cheap at WalMart that hooks up to a DVD player and shows REALLY HUGE screen images. We're going lie on the grass or in lawn chairs and watch a bunch of Hallowe'en -themed Bugs Bunny cartoons (HYDE AND HARE where Bugs is taken in by Dr. Jekyll, the one where Bug fights Gossamer the giant red hairy monster, the one where Bugs goes trick-or-treating and meets the June Foray-voiced witch, and the one where Porky Pig and Sylvester spend the night in a haunted house full of homicidal mice - that one is really scary!), along with a DVD of classic horror movie trailers, Disney's LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW (great animation on the chase sequence), and IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE. We will have a firepit going and roast marshmallows and make chocolate bombs (stick a chunk of chocolate in a marshmallow before toasting it), eat popcorn, candy corn and pumpkin peeps, and the grown-ups will drink Blue Moon Ale and Fat Tire.
Oh man, that sounds like FUN!! Can I come over?

It was a long time ago that I watched it, mind you
Time does heal the wounds of being scared half to death
King was at his best when he worked with the most ordinary of subjects, the most ordinary seeming characters. Cujo, The Shining, Firestarter and The Dead Zone are all like that and are still among his very best, scariest stories IMHO.
