It seems to me that Halloween comes second only to Christmas. Everyone loves Christmas and Halloween. Both outrank every other holiday. Both have treats, their own playlists, their own movie marathons, etc. I originally wanted to run through a list of my favorite Halloween movies, which include popular favorites like
Ghostbusters, Young Frankenstein,
Sleepy Hollow,
Night of the Hunter, and
Nightmare Before Christmas, but I decided to recommend some current movies that may have originally flew under your radar when they first came out, all of which you can find on Netflix streaming.
Just note that I'm not a horror fan AT ALL. I can stomach
The Shining and
Silence of the Lambs nothing scarier. I can't handle torture porn, Japanese horror, or stuff like the
The Evil Dead remake. Nope, nope, nope. Ain't no way I'm sitting through women being mutilated or worse on screen. HELL NO.
The following recommendations feature may feature some gruesome deaths but nothing too realistic or extreme. Certainly not like anything you've seen in the
Game of Thrones series.
