Halloween Movies: The Scary

If you are going to be getting your spook on at your Halloween party, you’ll want some truly terrifying films playing in the background. Of course, the Halloween series would be the most obvious- from the original Halloween to the H2O 20th-anniversary edition, and all the movies in between. The Friday the 13th series and Saw series would make a great marathon night. Of course, there are always modern horror films coming out that you could play at your Halloween party:

• The Hitcher
• Dead Silence
• The Grudge
• The Number 23

These are some modern movies that would create a scary setting.
