The Top 10 Movies to Watch for Halloween
These are some great Halloween films.
10. Sleepy Hollow
Watch your head!
The Headless Horseman comes once again. It’s an instant classic tale of the unfortunate Ichabod Crane by Washington Irving. The earliest rendition of the film was in silent form in 1922, and the most recent was the 1999 violent version with Johnny Depp and directed by Tim Burton.
9. Rosemary’s Baby (1968)
Pray for Rosemary’s Baby.
This freaky Roman Polanski directed horror masterpiece is the story about an innocent woman who is slow to realize that the menace she senses in her new apartment building has already been rooted in her own body.
8.
Poltergeist (1982)
They’re Here
A family’s home is haunted by a host of ghosts. It’s a wild ride through the realms of the supernatural world. Music by Jerry Goldsmith that is very haunting.
7. Dracula (1931)
A nightmare of horror.
If you like vampires, then you will probably recognize the title. Loosely based on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, it follows the story of one of the world’s most widely known bloodsuckers. Over 160 movies had been made with Dracula as a main character, and this is one of the best.
6. The Shining (1980)
A Masterpiece Of Modern Horror
My parents made me watch this film when I was around eight years old, and I still can’t look at a hotel hallway without cringing. Directed by Stanley Kubrick, it follows the eerie story of a family that is pitted up in a hotel for a winter, but not alone. Don’t go in room 237. Redrum.
5. Silence of the Lambs (1991)
In his mind lies the clue to a ruthless killer
A great creepy story about Buffalo Bill, the serial killer who likes to skin his victims and a young FBI cadet must confide in an incarcerated and manipulative killer (Hannibal Lector, one of the greatest villains in cinematic history) to receive his help on catching the killer. A chilling and extremely suspenseful film, it won Best picture, director, actor, actress, and screenplay at the Academy Awards.
4. The Omen (1976)
It is the greatest mystery of all because no human being will ever solve it.
An American ambassador learns to his horror that his son is actually the literal Antichrist. With another great score by Jerry Goldsmith, this is one of the most creepy stories of 70’s. Watch out for Damien Thorn.
3. The Exorcist (1973)
Something beyond comprehension is happening to a little girl on this street, in this house.
This is probably the film to watch for Halloween if you really want to be scared. It is the landmark of horror films. Based on real events, this is a story about the attempt to drive away an evil spirit that has laid its roots in a little girl.
2. Halloween (1978)
The Night HE Came Home!
You just have to watch this one. John Carpenter created an instant classic that had a host of sequels. Mike Myers, the deranged psychopath, escapes from prison to pay a little visit to the town of Haddenfield. The music is really creepy, and this is a great movie to watch late at night.
1. Psycho (1960)
A boy’s best friend is his mother.
A young woman steals $40,000 from her employer’s client, and subsequently encounters a young motel proprietor too long under the domination of his mother. Alfred Hitchcock, although he might not like the credit, sparked the idea of the “slasher” film with this movie. Period.
Kid Friendly List

8. Beetlejuice
7. The Phantom of the Opera
6. Casper
5. Corpse Bride
4. Hocus Pocus
