Part 1: 10 Best Halloween Horror Movies

The Exorcist


The Exorcist is a classic horror movie, and for a good reason. This story of an innocent little girl possessed by an evil demon has been captivating audiences since the movie’s release in 1973. You won’t forget the image of the child’s possessed face, or her unnatural body positions, including the famous revolving head scene. The claustrophobic nature of the setting – an ordinary family home – adds to the creepiness of the situation. It also helps that the acting is superb.

"The Exorcist" is based on the terrifying novel by William Peter Blatty that has spawned a total of five movies. However, none can compare to the original which was nominated for 10 Academy Awards.



Another classic creepy horror movie is Poltergeist, which was released in 1982. The Freeling family live in an idyllic community in California named Cuest Verde. Their peaceful lives are disturbed when strange occurrences begin taking place in their home. The Poltergeist franchise is said to be cursed due to the amount of real life deaths that occurred during the making of the films.

You might not think that a movie where the evil is completely faceless could be so terrifying, but in reality that only adds to the scare factor. You are sure to share in the family’s fear as ordinary household objects start to turn against them. Just make sure you have company when you watch this movie. Watch it alone, and even the normal environment of your home could start to creep you out.

Troll Hunter

Troll Hunter

"Troll!!" Satirical without being a comedy, filled with terrific visual effects despite a low budget, and just flat-out wildly entertaining. It’s a big-monster movie with enough creepiness and carnage to qualify as “horror” for this list, but it’s also got terrific mythology and fantasy elements as well, and the fake documentary angle that is otherwise so overused in the genre never wears out its welcome here. The $5 million it managed from global receipts is not much above its $3.5 million budget, but it built a minor cult following on home release, and now a U.S. remake is planned.

The Cabin in the Woods

The Cabin in the Woods

This film includes samplings of just about every sort of horror filmmaking you can image. If the previous entry added some bloody good gore to this list, then get out  your mop for this one, because once the monsters get started, they never let up. It’s as hilarious as it is gory, as gory as it is fun, and somehow it manages to be one big homage and yet also entirely original all at the same time. The film more than doubled its $30 million budget with $66 million in theatrical revenue, but the studio’s portion barely covered those expenses and the marketing adds tens of millions more in the red column.

The Thing (1982)

The Thing




V/H/S is a first person view, found-footage horror anthology, with each vignette directed by different talent. The wraparound plot centers around a group of thugs hired to steal a rare VHS tape located inside a seemingly abandoned, creepy house. As they stumble around the house they play different tapes, revealing twisted, gruesome and terrifying tales. But will we ever know who recorded them?

The Evil Dead


Five friends go to a cabin in the woods for a vacation. They discover a volume called "The Book of the Dead" and a tape recorder belonging to a professor, who also owns the cabin. One of them plays back what is recorded on the tape– which just happens to be Candarian resurrection passages translated from the Necronomicon (Book of the Dead) by the professor, which unleashes an evil force from the woods. The people start turning into evil deadites, and the others soon learn from the tape that the only way to kill a person who is turned into a deadite is by total body dismemberment. People are dying left and right; one girl early in the film looses control and runs off into the woods, only to be raped by the trees.

The Babadook

The Babadook

With serious capacity to disturb viewers, it relies not just on monstrous terror but also psychological terror of the most frightening sort. Some of the most unnerving and chilling moments are not of the creepy creature, but of the little boy as he seems to lose his mind or lashes out until his mother is losing hers. Amazingly effective with very few literal “traditional” scares, it relies on tension and unsettling real-life moments to make the darker parts all the more horrific. Budgeted at a low $2 million, the film pulled nearly $7 million in theaters and garnered widespread acclaim as one of the greatest modern horror releases.

A Nightmare on Elm Street

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Serial killer Freddy Krueger stalks this Midwestern neighborhood, bringing terror and even death to teenagers while they thought they were safe in their beds.
Featuring a young Johnny Depp, this movie spread fear across America when it was released in 1984. The movie was recreated in 2010, but in many ways the original is creepier. The sight of Krueger’s deformed face will have you shuddering and disbelieving that such horror can be created using just makeup. The movie has become a horror classic and continues to terrify audiences regardless of its age.

The Conjuring
