Okay, I admit it. I’m a sucker for haunted anything and Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to catch up on some frightfully good movies, shows and documentaries.
This list is by no means exhaustive, but a good jump start if you are looking for some Haunted Halloween Horror Flicks to have playing while you scare up a good time tonight.
I will warn you that there are a few movies on this list that are remakes. I would have preferred the originals, but sadly they were not available on instant watch. (BOO!)
Most of my favorite Halloween/horror movies are classics and those that sacred the bejeebus out of me growing up and the reason I still sleep with a nightlight. I added some documentaries and shows that keep the creepy vibe going long after Halloween is gone.
Happy Haunting!
