I prefer funny/satire/dark humour. Death Becomes Her is my guilty pleasure.

"Mad?...Hel!" My partner & I have both loved this movie since we were kids! It's one of our bondy things. One year we even went as Madeline Ashton & Helen Sharp for Halloween (bless his heart, he even tucked 😅) Even though it's not "horror," Death Becomes her, Beetlejuice, and Warm Bodies are "Dark Comedy," and always a part of our Halloween Horrorfest. 🎃❤️🎬🦇

Besides the original Halloween, I also enjoy Trick 'r Treat (2007) or Halloween H2O. Not exactly fits the season: But Event Horizon is scary good. And Deep Rising is mindless fun.

Sorry for my second entry here. And it's mostly not even scary. But "The 'burbs" (1989) needs to be on this list! Fantastic film with a great cast.

For me, Insidious has always been one of those series of movies that you just kind of accept. Like the thin backstories of Final Destination, and even the whole "why" of the Michael Meyers & Jason Voorhees thing is pretty weak if you really dig into it. My take is that horror movies are really made to draw you in & scare you. I swear if writers could get away with just having someone at the end of the movie yelling "Are you not entertained!?," they would. But, the audience wants to know why are they burning that guy in the bear skin, or why are those people shackled in a dirty warehouse with a saw, and so on... I had to watch Insidious like ok, I'm not going to overthink the story, and just enjoy the horror part.

I finally watched Insidious and I feel like I'm missing something, I love Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, and Patrick Wilson- but I just didn't enjoy it very much. I thought the concept and execution of The Further was a bit silly. I will continue to watch the rest of the series as long as my mom wants to (our "thing" is watching scary movies, she loves horror films as much as I do), but I wouldn't watch them on my own.

The Changeling starring George C. Scott. Most underrated scary movie ever! I rewatch it every Halloween.

Oohh looove. I love "vintage" horror like The Changling, The Wicker Man (70s version), and The Brood. Good one.

Anything Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm's Street. Heck, throw in the titular movie series Halloween itself and we have us a scarey-palooza of a time.

Jason is my go-to movie villain but the 2018 remix of the Halloween theme is still my all-time favourite. Although Bombshell from Freddie vs Jason rocks the house too.

Housebound is technically a horror comedy but it does suspense better than most horror movies. I'd say Hellraiser is my next favorite (but I'm a Clive Barker fan and The Hellbound Heart was my first of his novels outside of Abarat).

Hell House, LLC was a surprisingly good found footage film (I know, a "good found footage movie" sounds like an oxymoron). I went in knowing little and expecting less, and was pleasantly surprised. It's about a film crew making a documentary about the tragic events that occured in one of those Halloween haunts (in an abandoned hotel), resulting in the deaths of several people. I enjoyed it so much that I only watched it the one time, saving it for the spookiest month of the year, and tonight's the night!

I watched it with my mom (at 76, she's my best spooky movie watching buddy!) And she was not scared or disturbed in the least. She thought my jumping and talking back to the screen was hilarious.

The Haunting from 1963. Simple movie, excellent camera work, almost no special effects. Scared the heck outa me as a teenager in the theater. In most directors top 15 or so. (The 1999 version is junk.)
