As COVID-19 continues to ruin 2020, more and more college traditions are being postponed. The absence of massive homecomings and football games was only the beginning of this fallâs disappointments. Since Halloween canât be celebrated with weekend-long parties and last-minute costumes, most college students consider the holiday cancelled.Â
Like they have for the last seven months, college students will adjust to a social-distanced version of this holiday too. One of the best ways to have a spooky night in is to curl up with a scary movie. So grab a snack and get your friends on Zoom- here are a few of our favorite horror flicks to stream this Halloween.
- Scream
-
âScreamâ is the perfect combination of satire and horror, making it the best Wes Craven flick for Halloween.
- Trick ‘r Treat
-
Halloween-themed anthology âTrick âr Treatâ is a hilariously spooky movie for anyone who needs comic relief with their jump scares.
- Poltergeist

For lovers of all things paranormal, âPoltergeistâ is a classic haunted house horror (itâs an award winning film for a reason).
- Halloween
-
You didnât think this Halloween movie list would exclude âHalloween,â did you? This John Carpenter slasher is a scary but festive option for a horror marathon.
- The Cabin in the Woods
-
Both a gory slasher and a dark comedy, âThe Cabin in the Woodsâ is a fun watch for a Zoom Halloween party.
