It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Don't let the "animated" label fool you. This is a beautifully dark and unsettling fairy tale that will haunt you long after the credits roll.
Coraline
Based on the "real" case files of paranormal investigators, this film is relentlessly creepy. Perfect for when you're ready to be genuinely scared.
The Conjuring
This is the ultimate Halloween mood. It weaves together several interlocking stories, all drenched in atmosphere. It's become a modern cult classic for a reason.
Trick 'r Treat
My personal #1. More enchanting than terrifying, this film is all about sisterhood, magic, and the power of a good midnight margarita.
Practical Magic (1998)
A non-negotiable staple for a reason. This 90s classic is pure, magical fun. It's the perfect movie to kick off your Halloween season and is a must-watch for kids and adults alike.
Hocus Pocus
A modern horror classic that is as intellectually terrifying as it is visually. A masterclass in suspense you won't forget.
Get Out
Is it a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie? The answer is: yes. Tim Burton's stop-motion masterpiece has the perfect blend of spooky and sweet.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
For when you want your scares served with a heavy dose of comedy. Michael Keaton is iconic in this wildly creative and endlessly quotable film.
Beetlejuice
You can't have a Halloween list without the film that started it all. John Carpenter's original is a masterclass in slow-burn tension.
Halloween 1978
A brilliant, stop-motion animated film that's both hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt. It celebrates the outsiders and the spooky kids, with a message about fear and understanding that's perfect for the season.
Paranorman
They're creepy and they're kooky, and this live-action adaptation is absolutely perfect. It’s a wonderful blend of the macabre and family fun.
The Addams Family
The film that introduced the world to Freddy Krueger. More fantastical than other slashers, this one will make you think twice before falling asleep.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) | Prime
I'm bending the "movie" rule because this is simply one of the best ghost stories ever put to screen. The atmosphere is unbearably tense.
The Haunting of Hill House (The Series)
An absolute necessity. This perfect blend of sci-fi, comedy, and horror is a joy to watch every single time.
