Halloween movies
Jack-o’-lanterns, trick-or-treaters and just enough fright for one night.
Halloween is the one night when horror is a group activity. This list covers both ends: genuinely frightening films — slasher classics and stories set on the night of October 31st — and gentler witches-and-pumpkins fare you can put on with the kids. The IMDb floor is lowered to 6, because horror tends to be rated harder than drama.
