Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing great!
Boohaa.. It’s finally THAT time of the year again! (My favorite!)
“Spooky-Nights” are here to stay! *evil smirk*
Get some pop corns, a lot more of courage and invite over some of your bravest friends to get into the evil zone. (Hell yeah, it’s Halloween Time!)
For the thrill seekers, I present a binge watch guide of “Halloween Special” movies to watch this season –
1. THE POSSESSION (2012)
Rating : PG13 Duration : 1h32m IMDb : 5.9/10
When you buy an old antique “dybbuk box” at a yard sale, which has a demonic spirit living in it – You are in for screams, shrills and loads of “nail-biting” daunting moments! Based on a true story, The Possession is an apt watch this season. Great execution and intriguing story line will keep you glued to your TV screens for sure. Watch trailer here.
2. THE FACULTY (1998)
Rating : R Duration : 1h44m IMDb : 6.4/10
When the students at Herrington High face a greater challenge of saving the world from alien domination – you get what you paid for! An unlikely collection of loners, leaders, nerds and jocks who have to first fight their inner demons before they can save the world. Bigger question – Can they? Will they? Or will the world be enslaved till the doom? Watch trailer here.
3. THE CONJURING (2013)
Rating : R Duration : 1h52m IMDb : 7.5/10
Paranormal Investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by something dark in their house. The movie is surprisingly spiritual, satisfyingly scary and traumatically real. Must watch this Halloween! (If you still haven’t!) The Conjuring haunts you days after you’ve watched it and hence, it might help if you keep those lights on for a while! Watch trailer here.
4. THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (2005)
Rating : R Duration : 1h34m IMDb : 6/10
Newly weds are terrorized by demonic forces after moving into a large house, where bad, terrifying things have happened in the past. The family must come together to save themselves, but can they when there are demons within themselves? It’s a job well done, enough to keep you jumping throughout the movie. Gruesome, bloody and creepy! Watch trailer here.
5. SCREAM (1996)
Rating : R Duration : 1h51m IMDb : 7.2/10
After a series of mysterious deaths cook up a storm in their small town, an off beat group of friends led by Sydney Prescott become the target of a masked killer. No body is safe, specially when you have a psychopath running loose wearing a mask. The movie is a jigsaw puzzle. The question is – Can you solve it before you die? (When fear has a funny face!) Watch trailer here.
6. THE EXORCIST (1973)
Rating : R Duration : 2hr12min IMDb : 8/10
Its a tale of an exorcism based loosely on actual events. Terrifying, disturbing, dark, creepy, suspenseful – a perfect recipe for blood-curling experience. Its frightening when you start question the science behind non-existence of demons! The conflict between pure evil and pure innocence was never so gruesome. The bigger question – Who wins? Watch trailer here.
7. A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984)
Rating : R Duration : 1h41m IMDb : 7.5/10
This movie is about a disfigured mangler whom preys on the teenagers in their dreams, which in turn kills them in reality The only way out is to wake up! When the line between reality and dreams is blurred and you are ignorant of the truth – you die! Its petrifying and chilling! Must watch for some unnerving experiences. Watch trailer here.
8. JEEPERS CREEPERS (2001)
Rating : R Duration : 1h43m IMDb : 6.1/10
When Trish’s and her brother’s routine road trip home from college turns into a heart-stopping race of their lives – you get your Halloween dose of dread, horror and jitters. An undaunted indestructible evil force is tirelessly after them and they seem to find no escape. The new chilling meaning to the old song “Jeepers Creepers” is finally out! Watch trailer here.
9. TRICK’R TREAT (2007)
Rating : R Duration : 1h40m IMDb : 6.8/10
Some traditions are best not forgotten! As the residents of a small town face real ghosts and goblins on Halloween – they seem to find no exodus. One of the obvious instant classics of horror in the 21st century. It’s a movie that IS HALLOWEEN! Watch trailer here.
10. PSYCHO (1960)
Rating : R Duration : 1h49m IMDb : 8.5/10
Psychological horror film directed and produced by Alfred Hitchcock, sure will give you the “goosebumps” that you have been waiting for! When you check-in to a motel owned by a young man with interest in taxidermy and has been in a difficult relationship with his mother – you either check-out immediately or you die! Watch Psycho for its complex characters and nightmarish plot. (And the famous background score!) Watch trailer here.
Bonus (Well, Why not? It’s the holiday season plus who minds the creeps?)
11. IT (2017)
Rating : R Duration : 2h15m IMDb : 7.9/10
An ancient, shape shifting evil emerges from the sewer every 27 years to prey on the town’s children. Can the little ones overcome their own fears to battle the evil? Can Pennywise be ever subjugated? Hauntingly memorable characters, suspenseful and dark – Stephen King sure did know about writing good stuff! Watch trailer here.
So there you have it folks – My favorite “HALLOWEEN” binge-list! I know, there are many more “gory” ones out there, but these are the “specific” ones that I love to go back to! Here’s to nights full of fright and terror!
I hope y’all have “fun” watching these movies. Would love to hear about your favorites!

I’m going to recommend Ringu and Burnt Offerings. They start off slow but by the end, you’ll be sleeping with the lights on…
Oh YES, liked Ringu too! I’m yet to watch Burnt Offerings – Seems good in the trailer! 😉

The Conjuring scared the sh*t out of me for years! I won’t go see any more of them.
Hahaha.. I agree, it stays on your mind for long!👻👻
I always had a warm spot in my heart for the cat in Stephan King’s “Pet Sematary” from 1989.
Haha.. I wonder why? J/K 😁😁
I also built my own pet cemetery
And that’s an absolutely sweet thing to do!❤
I’m too scared to watch such movies! 🙂
I can so understand! Even my Huz isin’t that fond of them.. Me on the other hand am a #horrorFanatic!🙈🙈
Great choice of movies! ❤️
Hehe.. Thanks sweetie!👻👻
Hahaha! You’re welcome, dear! 👻😄

Hahahaha🤪🤪🤪
Oh, I am just scared to watch horror!!
Hahaha.. I can so understand! Even my Huz isn’t that fond of them.. Me on the other hand am a #horrorFanatic!🙈🙈
Out of this list, I’ve watched Jeepers Creepers, The Exorcist, and The Conjuring. All of those sent chills down my spine. It did its job well! I liked The Others, Carrie, The Sixth Sense…among some others. I fancy some plot twists and psychological mind twisting over the gore.
I agree! At times even my loyalties shift from gore to psychological mind twisting and in all honesty I like them both! Anything that gets my spine + grey cells going! 😉
This scaredy-cat has got her halloween screams ready😱 why I do this to myself I still don’t know but horror films are a must watch otherwise this life would be a raw deal 😉
Hahaha.. I so agree with you sweetheart! What’s life without some gore, pain, fear and screams!👻👻
Plus, we all need to “spice” things up once a while! 🤡👿👺👹💀
I’m so ready to get the skin scared of my bones 😉
A few ghosts here and there keeps the heart in shape 🤪
Hahaha.. Absolutely!🤪🤪
I haven’t read or watched a horror story for years…. but i’ll pass this list along.
Sure!👻👻
I am a #horrorFreak – Love watching them! 😉
Wonderful share
Thanks much!👻👻
You’re most welcome

👻💀🤡🙀😱❤️😀🤪
Prolly will watch those in Day time hahaha and with someone 😬☺️
Hahaha.. All the best!👹👺💀🤪😈👻🤡
I don’t care for those types of horror movies. Give me an old classic black & white horror movie any day. No crude killers like slashers but sexy drinkers of blood, that’s my speed. Actors like Frank Langella or Christopher Lee.
Ooooo.. Those are GOLDEN!❤
Great list, those are some terrifying films. 🙂
Hahaha.. Thank you so much!
👹👺💀🤪😈👻🤡
Added to watch list!! Which aren’t watched yet!👍
Thanks for this!!!!
Thank you so much sweetie! Happy bingeing!❤
Jeepers Creepers = surprisingly good. Also impartial to Scream and Elm Street. . .
CLASSICS!👹👺💀🤪😈👻🤡
The possession is really good!
You bet!👻👻
I love Scream!! I just watched it last night!
One of my absolute favorites!👹👺💀🤪😈👻🤡
Ugh Nightmare on Elm Street still scares me! I think I was just way too young when I watched it.
Haha.. It’s CREEPY for sure!👹👺💀🤪😈👻🤡
Oh gosh! So many knee shakers in this
👹👺💀🤪😈👻🤡
I’m too wimpy and soft hearted for scary movies,lol. But I do love a good scare! The trailers are usually enough for me, ha ha
Haha.. You are a nice person Lael! 😉
Me – HORROR, all day.. Anyday!👹👺💀🤪😈👻🤡
Haaahaaahaa! I admire that! You’re a badass! <3
‘The Exorcist’ will forever be the scariest movie ever made, Christian religion and the existence of a mortal Devil asks so many questions of the viewer……………. plus it’ll give you absolute nightmares!!!
I agree!👹👺💀🤪😈👻🤡
Terrific list! I am forever scarred by the Exorcist! 😱xx
It’s a CLASSIC for sure!💀
Whilst I like gore movies I am more interested in psychological horror. But what a great list of films to see for Halloween.There are a few that I haven’t seen yet. I looked at The Conjuring trailer, and oh my it seems so scary. Definitely want to watch it but not alone!!!!! Thanks for sharing Richa.
I agree with you on psychological horror and.. Tbh, I too do have an inclination towards it!💀💀
Oh yes, you’ll definitely need some company while watch The Conjuring! 😉 😛
Can’t find anyone to watch it with me! Hubby and the kids are not interested at all. I’ll have to do it alone. 💀
Aww.. I wish I could accompany you!❤️
I would love it!
You have good taste when it comes to horror. I love most of the films listed. Have a great Halloween.
Thank you so much! Happy HALLOWEENS to you too!💀💀
Cheers.
