With Halloween right around the corner, it is a good time to think about top Halloween movies. If you want a good scare, here is a list of some good old-fashioned scary Halloween movies to check out. Some are recent releases, and some are older, top Halloween movies that were pioneers of the genre:
- Halloween, 1978: A young Jamie Lee Curtis stars in this film, that set the standard for many sequels as well as other horror movies for years to come. Michael Myers is a true classic horror film character that you’ll never forget after watching this horror flick!
- Evil Dead, 2013: This new version of the 1981 original added lots of gore and got rid of most of the campiness from the original, making it one of the few recent movies to be worthy of a “best” list. If you wanna see a scary Halloween movie this one will do the trick.
- The Shining, 1980: Jack Nicholson makes for one scary inn-keeping husband of an isolated country resort. REDRUM anyone? You’ll definitely go to bed thinking about this one!
- Dawn of the Dead, 2004: Imagine being trapped in a shopping mall during the zombie apocalypse. Now imagine being pregnant with a half-zombie baby…this isn’t just your typical trip to the mall. Nope! This scary Halloween movie will leave you thinking twice before you get up to get a cold drink in the dark!
- The Exorcist, 1973: A truly frightening classic, based on the book by William Friedkin, about a young girl who is demonically possessed. From levitating beds to un-repeatable words coming from the mouth of little Linda Blair. This classic is a bone chilling!
- 28 Days Later, 2006: The chemically engineered “zombies” that were the focus of this film spawned an entire new variety of zombies in the last several years…and we don’t mean the sparkly kind. Don’t get up for popcorn alone while you’re watching this scary Halloween flick!
