2. 1:10 Halloween (commercial) — Halloween is an American franchise of thirteen films featuring serial killer Michael Myers, who was committed to a sanitarium as a child after murdering his sister Judith Myers in 1963, and escapes fifteen years later to kill people in the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois on Halloween. The franchise also includes novels, comic books, video games and merchandise, with protagonists like Laurie Strode and psychiatrist Dr. Samuel Loomis attempting to stop Myers throughout the series. The original Halloween, released in 1978 and written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill, was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and Bob Clark's Black Christmas, and went on to inspire a long line of slasher films.
3. 1:38 Creature (radio spot) — Creature from the Black Lagoon is a 1954 American black-and-white 3D monster horror film produced by William Alland and directed by Jack Arnold. The film follows a group of scientists who encounter a piscine amphibious humanoid known as the Gill-man in the Amazon waters, with the creature played by Ben Chapman on land and by Ricou Browning underwater. The film premiered in Detroit on February 12, 1954, and was produced and distributed by Universal-International.
4. 2:44 Rocky Horror Picture Show (radio spot) — The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a 1975 musical comedy horror film produced by Lou Adler and Michael White and directed by Jim Sharman, based on Richard O'Brien's 1973 stage musical The Rocky Horror Show. The screenplay was written by Jim Sharman and Richard O'Brien, who also played the role of Riff Raff, and the film stars Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick with narration by Charles Gray. The production pays tribute to science fiction and horror B movies from the 1930s through the early 1960s and features cast members from the original Royal Court Theatre, Roxy Theatre and Belasco Theatre productions, including Nell Campbell and Patricia Quinn.
