There might be a lot of the classics mentioned here because let’s face it the horror genera hasn’t had too many hits in the recent years. The following movies are going to be focused on what the story had to offer, how big of an impact the film has had on the horror movie genres and how well it has aged. We are not going to be considering things like CGI and other special effects alone as they don’t really do much without the proper writing and the right ambiance to go along with them. Disclaimer if you are not a fan of the black and white you might not like our entries. Now let’s began, shall we?
Here is a list of movies you should be watching on Halloween!
1. PSYCHO
You should’ve seen this one coming, then again you should’ve seen one a long, long time back. If you have not seen this movie up until now, then Halloween is the best time for you to do that. Get a couple of your buddies, wear whatever Halloween costume you guys want and at the end of your party just put this on. We are not going to be mentioning much about the story as that is the whole thing. We want you to experience the movie raw, so no googling it as well.
2. Halloween 4
Yep, another entry for you guys from the house of our knife-wielding serial killer genera. This is another excellent entry in the series, and while it has its flaws, it has some extraordinary moments, and it’s tied to Halloween even more so than the last few movies.
3. Trick or Treat
One of the lesser known movies out there but it one with a fascinating premise and some perfect music if you are into metal. It is going to offer you an oddly horrifying experience so if you are looking for something that not many people have seen or talk about but it is spooky; this is the best one for this Halloween.
4. Halloween
Not the new one, go on google and check the original Halloween out. The movie is named “HALLOWEEN” of course you should watch it on Halloween. It is probably one of the, if not the best slasher horror movie of all time.
5. Nightmare On Elm Street
We are recommending the first one, seeing a trend with our list yet? So Nightmare on Elm Street is one of those movies that has quite the crazy yet creepy premise. We are sure that a lot of people have seen the series’ later additions for sure. However, you have to go and check out the roots of the franchise. We assure you, it will be a heck of a creepy time. One of the perfect movies to watch this Halloween at around midnight.
6. Poltergeist
And we are going back in time for this one. Just like some of the previous entries on our list Poltergeist is a rather old flick but it has not lost its charm. As the name suggests, the movie is about a ghost that haunts a family. It is one of the most watched horror movies and for reasons we do not wish to spoil. So you will just have to trust us and see it for yourself.
7. The Nightmare Before Christmas
While most of the entrees on the list so far were mostly for people that wanted a good scare or set up a spooky environment The Nightmare before Christmas is one that you can and should watch with your kids. The premise is good, the stop animation makes it really interesting to watch as it offers a visual effect unlike another. So for all the parents out there, you can watch this with your kids till they fall asleep so you can maybe get some alone time…for making costumes for next year…
8. The SAW Series
While we are not mainly the biggest fans of this series and the way it has evolved over its later additions if you have not watched the first SAW give it a chance. The mood and the ambiance are perfect plus we can’t forget about all the traps that these movies are famous for. Since there are numerous entries in the SAW franchise, you can choose from the lot, but we would recommend watching the first one.
9. Paranormal Activity
Again we have an entry that has gone downhill ever since the first one came out. Just watch the first one, and you will understand why the more recent ones are not getting it right. The first one was a general defining movie. Love it or hate it, it reintroduced us to a big fear we all have ever since we are small kids. This is a non-spoiler list so we cannot go into any more details. But definitely watch this movie on Halloween.
10. Trick r Treat
No, we didn’t misspell anything here, it is an entirely different movie and one that is quite the spookfest. The story isn’t that complicated, but the main monster in the film is something that just makes your skin crawl. It is definitely one to check out if you have not before. Trick r Treat, don’t mess up the name ok.
We can understand that there are a few entries that are missing from the list and people are going to be upset. However, we had to make sure that the movie related to Halloween in some way or the other that is why we choose these flicks. Besides who is saying that these are the only proper scary or spooky movies that you should watch.If you feel that you know some movies that are way better than the ones we picked than do let us know in the comments down below
