Our fav scary movie super fan is here and she’s put together a short list of three of her all time favs to scare the heck out of you this Howl-oween. Scroll on for her picks for the best modern day horror classics that might just have you sleeping with the lights the rest of this month - and liking it!

Tis the spooky season and I’m sharing my top 3 horror flicks. They have their own unique scary as each one tells a distinctly different kind of story.

3. Hellraiser (1987, Thriller/Fantasy/Gore) - This one’s old school gore at its finest in my book. Special effects and makeup were also well done considering it was made over 30 years ago. Horror fans would agree to never summon the Cenobites or as Pinhead said, “We’ll tear your soul apart!”

2. The Strangers (2008, Mystery/Slasher/Terror) - I felt the couple in this movie’s terror deeply. Background music is used sparingly (the record player) but effectively enough to keep you pertrified. So what about those 3 masked characters? Well, they were so terrifying that if I hear an abrupt knock at my door, they definitely come to mind. 

1.  The Conjuring  (2013) - My definition of scary also includes the supernatural/paranormal category. This film is undeniably my personal favorite. The slow burn, subtle scenes are hair raising, and the exorcism was the best one yet. I’ve watched this movie on repeat and it still gives me butterflies.
