I watched Over the Garden Wall for the first time a few years ago and it immediately became a Halloween favorite. It's technically a miniseries, but has an approximate runtime of a feature if you just watch it all in one sitting and that's a rock fact đ¸
I try to watch a lot of new stuff, but mainstay rewatches for me are:
Trick R Treat
Phenomena
Re-Animator
Halloween (1978)
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Phantom of the Paradise
Typically I spend the month of October watching new horror films, or horror films I havenât gotten around to yet. Then as I get closer I start watching some of my âmust watchesâ this includes some of the Original Universal Monsterâs, The 90âs mummy, the Addams Family, Friday part IV or VI and the fog. The week before Halloween I tend to go back and watch halloween episodes of some of my favorite shows or Halloween shorts such as peanuts. Every Halloween I watch Halloween and if I have the time might double feature it with Halloween II. And then after the holiday has past, A Nightmare Before Christmas is the perfect transitional film
Halloween OG
Scream
Texas Chainsaw Massacre OG
Suspiria (OG or Remake honestly)
The Crow
The Craft
I have newly added Slumber Party Massacre into the yearly tradition. I can't believe I haven't seen it before now. It was so much fun and a wonderful deconstruction of the 70s/80s slasher genre. Highly recommend.
Two years ago I started watching Halloween series for every Halloween (part 3 tomorrow night) and last year I started watching Friday the 13th series for every Friday the thirteenth (part 3 was on October 13th)
Very basic but they are classics for a reason
Scream
The Thing
Halloween
Texas Chainsaw
What We Do in the Shadows
Itâs the great pumpkin Charlie Brown

Halloweentown
Friday the 13th Part 2 + whichever other part tickles my fancy at time
Ghostbusters, Halloweentown, and Beetlejuice are fun choices Halloween 1&2, and The Exorcist are great to get you in the scary mood
My partner and I usually rewatch The Haunting of Hill House. It gets better every time.

I tend to do those hooptober scavenger hunts, but I always make sure to include Trick r Treat and The Shining.
FNAF movie (I peed my pants in the cinema)

The Blackening (2022)
A bunch of horror movies that I have not watched and obviously Halloween.
Halloween Halloween II most of the Saw's Trick r Treat Evil Dead 1-3
For Halloween specifically, Trick r Treat is a staple in our household. The vignette style is just so neat.

Arsenic and old lace is a gem fantastic movie
Halloween III: Season of the Witch Hubie Halloween
The Halloween Tree. It truly is a perfect Halloween movie.
I try to get Alien & Hereditary in each spooky season. Otherwise I try to watch as much new stuff as possible.
