Ultimate List of Movies for October and Halloween

It’s the best month of the year and what better way to spend it than watching a movie?! This is an ever-expanding list of movies perfect for the creepy season, and I would love it if you suggested any I’ve missed so this list can grow and grow! When it comes to the perfect October or Halloween movie, there needs to be the sense of something scary or weird, something that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up or forces you to cover your eyes.
