Screen Rant

It's that time of year where we store away our bathing suits and break out our orange and black house decor. The 31-day countdown has begun and Halloween is just around the corner.

Feel like diving deep into the world of horror entertainment in honor of the holiday?

Have you already seen classic films like The Shining and Hellraiser and you're asking, "now what?" Sick of watching the same horror movies every year? This listicle is not meant to suggest classic films, but rather, suggest modern horror entertainment.

Here is a compiled list of 20 modern movies and TV series that are guaranteed to give you the "heebie-jeebies" this Halloween season. And, remember, don't scream.

1. Stranger Things

Monsters, Winona Ryder, and the best, creepiest background music.

2. MTV's Scream

The most thrilling, mystery, suspense, drama, romance show on television.

3. 10 Cloverfield Lane

Who's the bad guy? Who knows? But John Goodman is the man.

4. The Forest

What's real? What's fake? Can you survive the suicide forest?

5. It Follows

Fun fact: The house where the main character lives is in Sterling Heights, MI.

6. The Purge series

A trilogy of an American nightmare.

7. The Nightmare Before Christmas

It's a Halloween AND Christmas movie. 2 reasons a year to watch.

8. The Witch

Who's the witch?

9. The Ring 1 & 2

The upcoming third film of the series should be oodles of fun.

10. Orphan

Super-freaky.

11. Insidious series

What's worse than having a Freddy Krueger nightmare? Astro-projecting.

12. Sinister 1 & 2

Fun fact: I had to call my mother to come turn the lights on in the basement because I was too scared to move after I watched this one solo.

13. The Boy

He's just a boy, she's just a girl. Can I make it any more obvious?

14. The Strangers

What's worse than a stranger in your house? Not knowing the stranger is in your house.

15. The Conjuring 1 & 2

Ghosts like to play games, too.

16. The Green Room

Is it safer to be in the green room? Or is it possible to escape alive?

17. The Descent

Trust me, you won't be able to handle the sequel.

18. The Shallows

This is no Jaws.

19. Hush

A deaf woman must defend herself against a masked man.

20. Halloweentown series

Amen, Grandma Aggie.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
