With Halloween approaching, grab your comfort blanket, prepare to cover your eyes and get ready to scream, because horror films have a long and chilling history that will leave you completely spellbound.
Halloween waits eerily around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to test your fears. With endless options to choose from, horror movies are a perfect way to get into the spooky mood. But horror movies shouldn’t just be about making you scream — they should also be compelling and entertaining.
To help you decide your next scary watch, I’ve compiled a list of my personal favorite horror movies that deserve more attention. These movies not only had me hiding behind my friends, but also had me sitting on the edge of my seat.
The streaming era of horror is starting to wear me down.
With Halloween looming closer, both the Sarah Paulson-led “Hold Your Breath” and body-swap blast “It’s What’s Inside” debuted exclusively on Hulu and Netflix, respectively, this October — despite holding their world premieres at Toronto International Film Festival and Sundance. This furthers a recent trend of horror movies bypassing theaters altogether and getting sent straight to streaming — making a select few festival audiences some of the only people to experience these films on the big screen.

I think we can all agree that jump scares are the worst. They’re cheap, tasteless and more often than not, poorly executed. Most of the time, the scares aren’t even frightening, but rather startling,...
