Technically this is a kids movie, and yes it could count as a Christmas movie, but it is also a heartwarming (and expertly animated) tale of how a skeleton learns to love and brings fun to Halloween town.

Stream The Nightmare Before Christmas now on Disney+.

If you like your ghosts cute, friendly and garden variety, this is the one for you. Kid-friendly.

Yes, it counts. Not only does this movie feature an epic wrap up of how Halloween works in high school, it also features awkward social situations that are every bit as scary as ghosts and monsters.

Stream Mean Girls now on Netflix.

This movie features Sarah Jessica Parker before she was Carrie Bradshaw. That is probably enough to convince you, but if not, it is spooky, fun and a classic 90s hit. Did I mention it has Sarah Jessica Parker?

Stream Hocus Pocus now on Disney+.

Dun dun dun dun click click and you’re on board. Creepy cool fun for the whole family. A must-see.

Stream The Addams Family now on Neon.

This spooky classic will produce more laughs than fear, but is also features plenty of ghosts, grave yards and scary faces.

The sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is also about to be released, so before we catch you there, revise all you need to know here.

Go ahead and stream Beetlejuice now on Apple TV.

The original vampire movie, based pretty heavily upon Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Fair warning, this is a silent film (yes, it still has music) but it still manages to be excellent.

Sink your fangs into Nosferatu now on Apple TV.

If this gif hasn’t scared you off already, then I’m scared of you. Adapted from the book by Stephen King (who also wrote It), this movie has young Jack Nicholson, creepy child twins, and lots (lots and lots and lots) of blood.

Hide under the blankets while you stream The Shining on Apple TV.

Its all in the name, isn’t it.

Don’t do it. But if you do, find Texas Chainsaw Massacre on Apple TV.

Classic, murder thriller. Not for children.

You can watch Friday the 13th today on Apple TV, though I don‘t recommend putting yourself through it!

When I said movies that will make you feel like you aren’t alone, I meant this movie. Do not show this movie to anyone under 16. Also, please go back in time and tell 16 year old me not to watch it? Thanks. I’m still scared.

Okay fine, stream The Ring now on Apple TV… I personally wouldn’t scroll much further though.

As if getting stuck in a cave wasn’t scary enough, in The Descent they get stuck in a cave, then it gets scarier.

Okay, at this point I’ve got to give it to you. You’re braver than I am if you’re streaming The Descent on Apple TV.

Even if you can get past Paris Hilton’s acting, this is really very, very, very scary.

I did warn you not to keep scrolling. But, since you’re here, you can stream House of Wax on Apple TV.

Whether you watch the 2017 movie or the 1990 miniseries, make sure you don’t do it alone. Even it you aren’t scared of clowns, you will be.

You’re a brave one, aren’t ya. Alright then, watch It today on Apple TV.

Just don’t do it. Really do not. Told you not to scroll down. This is banned in several countries.

Fine. Watch The Human Centipede on Apple TV. Put yourself though it if you really have to, but you can’t blame us for your nightmares!
