10 Must-Watch Movies to get into the Spooky Spirit

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Simmons chapter.

Any Scooby Doo Movie. Ever.

Found on: Amazon and Netflix

 

 

Scooby Doo, a classic, not too terrifying movie series. Come on, gang! I personally recommend Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost or Scooby Doo on Zombie Island.

Scare Rating – 1/10

 

Silence of the Lambs

Found on: Hulu

 

 

A cult classic. Silence of the Lambs is a psychological thriller. I personally didn’t find it too scary.

Trigger Warning: Cannibalism, Assault, Gore, Sexual Assault

Scare Rating – 5/10

 

The Addams Family and Addams Family Values

Found on: Netflix or Hulu

 

 

A family friendly classic. Not too scary but hilarious!

Trigger Warning: Arson, Animal Sacrifice, Light BDSM, Weapons, Dark Humor, Implied Assault and Murder

Scare Rating – 2/10

 

The Babadook

Found on – Netflix

 

 

Yet another thriller, I wouldn’t consider the Babadook to be a horror movie in a sense but it’s still perfect for Halloween!

Trigger Warning: Suicide, Mental health discrimination, assault, car accident, weapons used to harm, abusive parental relationship

Scare Rating – 6/10

 

Halloweentown and every other Halloweentown movie

Found on – Xfinity On Campus

 

 

The best Halloween-Disney movie ever.

After watching this movie, I needed the lights on…

A cute movie involving everyone’s favorite and sweetest little ghost

Scare Rating – 1/10

Hands down one of the scariest movies I have ever watched.

Who doesn’t love Eddie Murphy in his glory days?
