Every Horror Movie I Plan to Watch for 31 Nights of Halloween

[@wallyb7207]

I do like several of your selections but my must watch list for Halloween are as follows; Dead silence, The Lost Boys, the Thing, The Nun, 30 days of night, The Conjuring 1 and 2, Train to Busan, 1408, Fright Night (1985), Night Gallery (the cemetery), Jeepers Creepers, The Mist, Pumpkinhead, 13 Ghosts, Cabin in the Woods, Queen of the Damned, House on Haunted Hill, Drag Me To Hell and The Crow.

[@checktheherbsbaby]

Demon Night and Stir of echoes never get mentioned! Nice to see!

[@Evergreen085]

scary stories to tell in the dark and mortuary collection are 2 of my all time favorite movies. They have a similar vibe as Trick R Treat

[@courtneyrunnels7500]

Good choice! I just finished watching The Funhouse. A Tobe Hooper classic. Next, I am going to watch Motel Hell.

[@shouldiwatchthis6889]

So nice to hear Savageland and Collingswood getting mentions. I love those types of found footage.

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

They’re so good!

[@moftheinternets606]

watch Fallen with Denzel and the Skeleton Key as well great movies@@mandysmorgueofhorror

[@4truth123...]

SORRY! Mandy lost me at "Found Footage"! I CAN'T STAND FOUND FOOTAGE MOVIES! The LOWEST of the LOW BUDGET Genre! Should ONLY be "Cameos"

[@anthonywheeler2082]

I just rewatched Ginger Snaps like I said I would and the Halloween vibes are so good. I watched The Mangler as a teen. That was such a crazy movie! I'm due for a rewatch on that!

[@mskal23]

+1 for starting with a door swing jump scare right off the bat lol

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

Props to my dog - he’s a paid actor 😂

[@steverossman8456]

Noice! My list is usually vampire heavy, Lost Boys, the night stalker(1972), Salem's Lot, house of dark shadows(1970), fright night, etc.

[@Horrorzeit]

This was fun! I also just did a 31days of horror and still there were some great new picks from your list for me 🎉

[@85juney]

“As Above, So Below” was a pretty good found-footage horror movie.

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

Love that one!

[@filmwitchpod]

Glad to see love for SALEM’S LOT, I think it gets left out of the ‘best of’ Stephen King film lists way too often. THE CURSED looks like my jam for sure, thanks for the recommendation! 🎃

[@arthurwinter9010]

I watched The Collingswood Story yesterday and really enjoyed it. A found footage I like to watch on Halloween is WNUF Halloween Special. Great video!

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

I need to add that one to my list!

[@visitorzeta1669]

Some great choices here. Nice list. I absolutely love Ginger Snaps and Salem's Lot.

[@bethanyrose4260]

Yay !I'm so glad you posted this! I was going to see a new Halloween movie list video from you loved last year's!

[@roachman627]

Just discovered your channel. Very good job and love that you mentioned some movies I've never seen.

[@Firefairy1212]

Ooh good call with all those 90’s classics! I’m going to be watching Demon Knight, Trick R Treat, and Flatliners too. In keeping with the classic Kiefer Sutherland theme, I’m also going to the Alamo to see Lost Boys later this month. My other Halloween must-watches this year are: The Craft, Stigmata, Fear Street trilogy, and possibly Dark Harvest when it drops. Man, I love spooky season! 🧡🖤🎃

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

Nice line up ! Kiefer has some awesome movies

[@MaryRose86]

14:53 stir of echoes is one of my all time favorite books

[@MrTonyman79]

You have Summer of Night in the background! I love that book and it is way under the radar.

[@christinamillar2144]

Oooo I've been waiting for your list haha We watched Hell Fest last night for the time. No idea how I ever missed this one but it was super fun and screams halloween! 🙂

[@heathercastleberry5211]

We actually watched it when it came out in theaters right before going to a local haunted forest! Great movie, we actually bought it and watch it multiple times. So fun!

[@ClaudiaGarcia-ie6wo]

Thank you for sharing!!!

[@OneBrokenDove]

The fact that our lists are so similar amazes me!

[@erinlchapman61925]

I love that u included the werewolf movies all of them are so underrated to me!

[@thevillageyid]

Not just a awesome horror movie, but a classic all around is The Shining. One of my favorite movies ever.

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

It’s one of my favorites! I like to save it for winter time

[@tracywilliams7929]

So you have your own personal Horror Festival, too! I've done mine at least 15 years. I always include Rocky Horror because it is such a celebration of the genre and the fans who love it. I make it either the opening or the conclusion of the festival as a nice way of tying everything together. I try to include the obscure, underground and the grindhouse I used to watch in the Grinds of old Times Square. You can't beat that for atmosphere. Lately I have started to include ARG, Backrooms, Red Room Torture, spooky Tik Tok, and other cyber offerings. Its a whole new frontier in Horror, I feel. As time goes on I'd like to include vintage TV like Karloff's old show. I am torn between Blair, the Exorcist and The Shining as my favorite of all time. Soon I'll add Eyes Wide Shut after my first seeing it, I am sure. Room 1413 ? with Samuel Jackson and John Cusack is another fave. Not to mention the original Dead movie. There are so many others I try to include each year. I think Rob Zombie's is an incredible, nascent talent, perhaps the savior of the genre.

[@realdoomsdaybeast]

Paranormal Activity, the first movie, I went to the opening at the theater with a girl, after the movie she cried for an hour, I thought she was having a mental break. It freaked her out so much. She calmed down eventually, but when Paranormal Activity came out, people were crapping themselves.

[@desertpinevintage]

I hope there’s a barbarian 2. It was so good! Loved the cast

[@Guts364]

Great list I'll surely add them to my Halloween movies list as I've been running out of new ones

[@jasonjones5213]

Sounds like a great list, I've only seen bits and pieces of Psycho also.Gonna have to give the whole movie a shot.

[@Peaceandlight74]

Great video and reminder of so many good movies! Holy crap! You haven't seen Event Horizon?? I can't wait to hear what you think of it! And, thank you for reminding me of the Changling. I also can't wait to see your response to Anthony Perkins performance in Psycho. So darn good!

[@normperreau1112]

Fun post as are all your videos. You have excellent taste in horror films and your very eloquent and your critiques are always positive even if the film is not for you. Great list, has a few I need to check out like the cursed. My list has many of the classic universal monsters ( dracula, Wolf man , Frankenstein etc). Keep up the great work). 31 days is just not enough 💀

[@anthonysendelback5616]

Good list! Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorite Halloween/ Johnny Depp/ Tim Button movies

[@kathymckenna1778]

Thank you so much and I would add pumpkinhead and maybe some from the 50's like House on Haunted Hill

[@saraht903]

Just rewatched Salems Lot a couple weeks ago. Love that movie! It scared the pants off me as a kid. The book is excellent too for anyone who might not know.

[@codyparham402]

Just saw The Collingswwod Story. Pretty good. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@Apostate_Alexei]

Great list! Thanks!

[@MooniK55]

That's nice! I actually do the 31days of horror challenge, but I haven't planned all my movies, just a few because I like to have the choice. I also always watch movies I have never seen before (maybe on Halloween I'll include some rewatch as well :D). Cobweb is on my list as well. I need some new movies; I watched almost all of the ones you mention. Maybe I'll check out Deadstream and THe collingwoods Story which I've never heard before and Event Horizon.

[@plynch113]

I start with the old classics and go through my favorites from each decade and genres!.... I'm an old 80s kid and grew up watching horror movies. My first horror movie I ever saw was creepshow when I was like 5......parents let kids watch anything back in the day!....

[@ilovesmallville13]

Great list!!! I also have Cobweb, Hell Fest and Halloween 4 on my list (all first-time watches). Yesterday I watched Hocus Pocus 2 and tonight I'm watching Urban Legend!

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

Omg so exciting you get to experience those all for the first time!

[@m.j.armstrong1803]

Great video! I took notes!

[@Tasha.Bae1]

defintely going to watch last 2 excited about it! also on shudder creepshow is coming back for a 4th season

[@blairinnyc]

Loved so many on your list like Salem’s Lot, Cobweb and Barbarian. Other Halloween favorites are The Texas Chainsaw Massacre both the original and 2004 remake, the original Omen, and the original Village of the Damned.

[@BlacEyedPriest765]

Thanks for the post 🎃🎃😊

[@sariefaeriecrochet]

I love thes recommendations!! Barbarian is one of the most unexpectedly good films I've seen and I can't wait to see the rest 🎃✨😍

I’m obsessed with your channel! So glad I found it! Thank you so much!! 🎃👻💀

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

Thank you for watching!

[@LazarusGamingandDiscussion]

Definitely added Cobweb to my list after your last video on it. Have you seen The Fourth Kind? It's an alien horror mockumentary, very underrated imo

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

I have! It has some creepy moments for sure

[@MayorMacCheese696]

Great list

[@rattybabby]

Event Horizon is so good. Can't wait till you see it.

[@Aprilmp]

I love this list!!!

[@markpvip21]

Can’t wait for the Hell House LLC sequel, loved the original trilogy.

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

I’ve only ever watched the first one. I need to check out the rest!

[@wimvanderstraeten6521]

I've seen Deadstream. It's a fun movie for fans of the Evil Dead movies (especially Evil Dead II).

[@austindolan7182]

finally saw ginger snaps, and whoa. is it a good, gruesome movie. also silver bullet is killer, love the brother sister dynamics in it. i think i might like werewolf films more than vampires.

[@heathercastleberry5211]

There is a movie that I have to watch every Halloween, The Houses October Built. The thought of a group of friends traveling around to find the scariest haunt, what Halloween fan wouldn’t love that. Then when things start to turn, it’s just one of my favs!!!

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

Love that one too! It gets very claustrophobic and scary!

[@charlesdurham927]

The Guest takes place during the All Hollow’s Eve holiday

[@rattybabby]

A great list! 🎃

[@linkkitten]

Have you seen Spellbinder and/or The dark secret of harvest home? Spellbinder is witches and it has a twist. The other movie is on KZbin and is just so creepy.

[@aaronedgell9426]

This is a great line-up. I must say though that being in my early 50s, it really hurts to hear you refer to stuff from the 90s and 2000s as nostalgic really hurts my soul.😊. Happy watching.

[@dwaynewilson5532]

Event horizon is a great movie I like your list

[@meganh5948]

I just watch event horizon a few weeks ago after years of not seeing it and it still is a creepy ass movie. Love the list. Definitely am going to have a to watch a few. My go too Halloween movie is obviously the original Halloween. I have 1-5. Not a fan of the 3rd one. That’s the one I usually don’t watch. I’ve see barbarian and I couldn’t get in to it.

[@ALEXANDRAMATTHEWS]

The ending of event horizon will MESS YOU UP.

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

Omg I’m so excited lol

[@toddwilliamson2651]

Love ‘Silver Bullet’ but ‘The Howling’ by Joe Dante is the most frightening werewolf movie ever made in my opinion.

[@jc2367]

@@mandysmorgueofhorror it’s the scariest tv show I have ever seen, but it’s also well made with a good story. I recommend it to every horror fan I can; since it only lasted one season and didn’t get much attention. Subtitles are the best way to watch it imo, dubbing just doesn’t do it justice.

[@WhisperingMeadowss]

WOW I can not say that many newer movies, generally creeped me out, but when watching the preview for COB WEB, I was creeped out BUT the movie "The cursed" looks like it blows all these other scary movies, out of the park I don't think I can watch something that scary, like that anymore...lol I don't like the vibes. So I would say, COB WEB would be a lighter horror choice.

[@thek838]

I never trust a person who likes Blair witch lol. You have a lot of found footage films on this list so I am guessing you are a big fan of those, myself not so much I don't hate them but it's very rare for them to make me not think yeah this was done cheaply, and had nothing real to show which I think Blair is prime example of that along with of course the first paranormal activity. Ginger snaps is my cult one that and Jennifer's body are just two I have to watch every year. Seriously wish they made another kind of these films. The Empty Man somehow escaped me ever hearing of it sounds alright so I will add that to my list on Halloween.

[@mandysmorgueofhorror]

Ohhh yes, I love found footage! I know they’re not everyone’s vibe. I just love how if done well they can really put you in the protagonist’s shoes and sometimes they can make me feel claustrophobic and on edge. And Blair Witch just holds a special place in my heart. Hope you enjoy Empty Man!

[@thek838]

@@mandysmorgueofhorror Idk if you ever seen Cam but that film is one that got me when it comes to putting myself in their shoes. I remember watching it thinking it was going to be bad, but very quickly the film proved me wrong and made me feel that way about it. It's extremely rare for me to be unsettled by a film but that did it.

[@markbrowning4334]

Just watched Cobweb. I have mixed feelings on this one. I'm kind of done with the weird preadolescent male protagonist trope, but the misdirection this movie uses with it gives this criticism a pass. Same with the jacked up parents. I was ready to throw in the towel early with this movie, but it switched things up and saved itself. I'd give the atmosphere a thumbs up, but whispering and mumbling tones and dimly lit rooms have been done to death. The monster/antagonist was interesting enough, however the finale following the exhibition she puts on doesn't jive with me. They overpowered her only to have her easily defeated. If anyone wants to just chalk it all up to metaphor, it fails because the boy is left as a prisoner to the threat by the time the credits roll. Worst part of the movie is the damn substitute teacher. This might be the most forced character in the history of filmmaking. We are snow shovel fed this character The movie demands that we not only accept her, but like her as well. She earns nothing, but just arrives at everything by only simply existing. I get it......its 2023 and the whole world needs to understand that black women are above and beyond all else, but at least make her annointed existence earned. They didn't. She is, therefore we must accept. Overall, not a terrible horror flick. A classic? Not in a million.
