Here's a quick list of some of my favourite films to watch during this, the most spooky of seasons (in no particular order):

* Fear Street ([Part One](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6566576/), [Part Two](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9701940/), [Part Three](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9701942/)) - an excellent slasher trilogy, released simultaneously on Netflix
* [Killer Klowns from Outer Space](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095444/) - So bad, so fun
* [Halloween (1978)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077651/) - Requires no explanation
* [Grave Encounters](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1703199/) - Probably my favourite found-footage film, a touch dated now but still creepy
* [Haunt](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6535880/) - Taking a common formula and just doing it _really_ well
* [Evil Dead II](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092991/)
* [Talk To Me](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10638522/) - I actually struggled to sleep after this
* [Trick 'r Treat](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0862856/) - Halloween-themed anthology film with some excellent segments
* [Halloweentown](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0173886/) - Surprisingly well-done for a Disney Channel movie, an annual staple in our house
* [The Haunting of Hill House](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6763664/) - Okay, not a film, but some of the most expertly-crafted horror I've ever watched
