Have a Halloween party? Choosing Halloween movies to watch as background entertainment at your party can help create just the atmosphere you want.

Halloween Movies: The Scary

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.
