One of the best parts of October is the movies, the creepy good movies. Here are some of the classics ranked on spookiness in no particular order!

Hocus Pocus

This Halloween classic is a holiday staple. What is Halloween without a visit from the Sanderson Sisters since a virgin lit the Black Flame Candle?

Spooky Factor: If you fear being eaten by witches or giggling to death, still watch it because it's a Disney classic.


HalloweenTown

The ultimate Disney Channel Original Movie about a wonderfully mysterious grandmother that lives in a town where it's October 31st 365 days a year!

Spooky Factor: The villain is pretty creepy, but the ghosts and goblins make you wish you were a member of their community.


Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice! The ghost with the most is worth the watch!

Spooky Factor: Strange and unusual.


the Adams Family

America's creepiest family is so entertaining that they rival the Kardashians.

Spooky Factor: *snap snap*

Monster House

A haunted house is one thing, but a living haunted house is a whole nother level of terrifying, especially, when it's across the street.

Spooky Factor: Fairly frightening


Halloween

Perhaps the most iconic Halloween film ever. The film that shares a title with the holiday is one of the most well known slasher flicks of all time. It was so well known that Rob Zombie directed two remakes of the first two films in the franchise.

Spooky Factor: Michael Myers doesn't die no matter what you do. Enough said.


The Rocky Horror Picture Show

This film came equiped with a plethura of iconic Halloween songs. The Time Warp anyone?

Casper Meets Wendy

This film is extremely cute and it stars young Hilary Duff so what's not to love??

Spooky Factor: The chance that Casper and Wendy could have their friendship torn apart just because of their differences.

Corpse Bride

Another Tim Burton masterpiece about the undead nuptuals.

Spooky Factor: Being left for dead in the forest or finding a magot in your ear.

Scary Godmother

This made for TV movie is so creative and adorable that it's a must watch.

Spooky Factor: Having a cousin as vile as Jimmy.


The Shining

Stephen King nailed it in this thriller about a hotel that's to die for.

Spooky Factor: Halls of blood and your dad trying to murder you with an axe.

Psycho

The original Slasher film just goes to show that sometimes someone isn't just strange, they have their mother's body in the basement and stab people to death while dressed in her clothes.

Spooky Factor: Being murdered in the shower.

Ghostbusters

Who ya gonna call?!

Spooky Factor: Getting covered in green slime.

Scream

This film made phone calls terrifying and created an iconic Halloween costume.

Spooky Factor: Your boyfriend killiing all your friends and trying to kill you too.

Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
