It’s that time of the year again…the time of Jack-o's, witchy stuff and pumpkin pie. Above everything else, there’s definitely nothing else that beats settling down with some movies that’ll give you more than goose bumps this Halloween season.
Here’s a list of some of the best Halloween movies ever made. It’s not easy narrowing it down to just 13 (See, I threw in 13 for added spooky effect!), but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. Take a look below:
1-The Nun (2018)

3- The Ritual (2017)
A wrong turn leads four college pals into the mysterious forests of Norse legend, where an ancient evil exists and stalks them at every turn.

A modern day fairy tale which tells the story of Edward, a man created by an inventor who died before finishing him and left him with scissors where he should have hands…

Have yourselves a scary one, people!
