Halloween Movie Picks for Every Kind of October Night

It is October, and I am ready for a proper horror marathon. For classic scares, I would start with John Carpenter’s Halloween, Scream, The Witch, The Shining, Poltergeist and The Exorcist. Each offers a different kind of tension, from slasher thrills to slow, unsettling dread. For newer horror, look out for recent releases from familiar franchises and acclaimed filmmakers. They are best saved for a late-night group watch when everyone can react to the scares together. For a lighter family movie night, Hocus Pocus, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline, Hotel Transylvania, Halloweentown and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown are reliable choices. Whether you want something spooky, funny or nostalgic, there is a film here for your October watchlist.
