Horror Movies: To Watch at Halloween or Not to Watch





















The answer is to watch, of course!

But because I’m a lily livered chicken (I’m a big enough person that I can admit that), I rarely watch horror movies during the year.  Every movie that comes out these days seems to have gory violence or demons in it and that’s just not me. BUT!!!...all of that is set aside when Halloween arrives. This is the time of year when it’s encouraged for people scream at the movie screen and cover their eyes – because that is a sign that you’re enjoying the movie. I came to terms with this some time ago.  Halloween is the best time of year (for me) to actually watch - and enjoy - a horror movie. I like being scared. Go figure.

I am by nooooooooooooo stretch of the imagination an expert on horror movies. Nope. Not at all. I am, however, an expert at having a good time! I’ve seen enough of them to know which will have you in church every Sunday from Halloween until the New Year; which ones are laugh out loud funny; which ones the little ones can watch; and those that are just a good scare.

So, get your popcorn, a snuggie, light a candle and get close to your favorite living creature and enjoy one of these really good Halloween movies!

Halloween Movies the Whole Family Can Enjoy

















I haven’t seen this movie but for some odd reason, I seem to quote from it quite a bit.


















I haven’t seen this movie either but I hear that in spite of it being about a ghost, it’s very sweet and touching.


















My friends are threatening to boycott me for not having seen this so I guess I’ll watch it with my niece this Halloween.


Classic Horror Movies

















This movie made me hate the sound of bells…and pea soup. I never could watch the whole thing.  For all I know, she’s still possessed.


















This one is a favorite of mine. To me, it is the quintessential slasher/scream queen movie. …and I loved that the movie took place on Halloween night!


















Because of this movie, I don’t like seeing churches at night. I’ll never own a Doberman…or have a child named Damien. I’ll never date anyone named Damien. I don't even like saying the name Damien.


Contemporary Horror Movies

















What made this movie so creepy and scary is that it is based on actual events.  What the…?????


















Why is it always kids?


















My husband and I watched this one at home, in the middle of the day, and still found ourselves holding our breath.  It was awesome!!  (the sequels don’t hold a candle to the original)


Cool Movies To Watch at Halloween

















These two…  This was the original family Halloween movie and it had all three of the most popular monsters in it: Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Werewolf.  …too funny!!


















I looooved the old black and white tv show (and it’s theme song) so I had to see this move and it didn’t disappoint.


















Leslie Nielsen as Dracula?  I’m laughing thinking about it!
