10 Horror Movies to watch on Halloween

 Hello, hello!

Happy Halloween! 

When the real world is so full of horrors, do we really need another day to remind us of the existence of all kinds of scary things? Maybe, maybe not. 

Irrespective of whether you celebrate Halloween or not, here are 10 solid horror movies and shows that you can enjoy on this spooky day. 



1. The Pale Blue Eye (Netflix) is a horror-thriller-suspence series that has Edgar Allen Poe as a detective (of sorts) as he investigates murders of cadets at a military school in upstate New York. A spooky and atmospheric watch, which is very nicely done. 


2. The Wonder (Netflix) is an interesting and atmospheric movie about a young girl, who has not been eating for over a couple of months. The village elders call upon a trained nurse and a nun to observe the girl to see it is a miracle or a hoax. An interesting one to watch if you don't want to watch something too spooky or scary. 

3. Bodies Bodies Bodies (Netflix) is a slasher-comedy-horror movies where a group of friends find themselves being hunted by an unknown killer in one of their homes. A funny yet spooky movie with a twist of sorts. 

4. The Invitation (Netflix) is a horror movie, which is kinda predictable but still pretty decent. It is not very scary and so, perfect for those of us who want to watch something spooky but not be scared out of their minds. 

5. Scream 6 (Netflix) is the sixth instalment in the highly popular slasher franchise and it delivers on all the tropes that the slasher genre is loved for! :) Watch this or binge all six movies if you are so inclined-  always a fun time!

6. Shwetkali (Zee5) is a Bengali horror-thriller series and is so, so, so good! It is atmospheric, scary and has a murder mystery to boot! Watch it! 

7. Polaroid (Prime) is a teen horror movie where a group of classmates find themselves being targeted by an entity after they find a vintage polaroid camera. Spooky and interesting. 

8. The Blackening (Google Play) is a horror comedy set during a reunion of close college friends. Since they're all Black, they must keep their wits about them to ensure that they don't get murdered by an unknown slasher. Super fun! 

9. I See You (Prime) is a horror movie with a nice twist! Don't want to give anything else away, just watch it! 

10. Talk to Me (Lionsgate Play) is a spooky, scary movie and is the perfect thing to watch if you want to get properly scared! A group of teenagers find a hand that lets them commune with the dead, but only for 90 seconds. When one of them holds on to the hand for more than that, scary things begin to happen. 


Let us know if you end up watching any of these movies/ shows and how you liked it!
