As noted in the past, you’ve got to take Mad Money host Jim Cramer with a grain of salt. Now, just in time for Halloween, the energetic and outrageous TV host is picking some of his favorite “vampire stocks” — those companies that are ready to come back from the dead and feast on the blood of competitors.

Two Seattle stalwarts make the list: F5 Networks and Amazon.com. Here’s what Cramer had to say about F5, the networking equipment company which is down 14 percent on the year. Cramer says the stock is “cheap, cheap, cheap.”

“Just last week, the company reported an excellent quarter,” Cramer said. “Also F5 is launching its biggest product refresh in four years, and this kind of tech company is all about product cycles.”

And here are his remarks on Amazon, which is up 44 percent this year. Cramer said that the company has “never really had to come back from the dead” — noting that its only real stumble was during the dot-com collapse. But he noted that Amazon is a lot like the “undead” in that it “just keeps coming” — pointing out that it is as “unstoppable as the zombie apocalypse.”

“Amazon is on a mission to take over the world, becoming not just the number one online retailer, but the premier global marketplace and fulfillment center…. It’s a cult stock, but it’s a cult that I understand people’s willingness to join.”

Here’s Mad Money Jim Cramer’s take on F5 and Amazon (part two below), as well as Apple, Salesforce.com, Netflix and others. What do you think of his picks?
