You know what's even better than a ghost scaring you? A ghost that just wants to be your friend and treats you like a bff.

Charlie Brown holiday episodes are such classics to watch no matter the age.

This film is exactly what childhood nightmares are made of.
14. "Children of the Corn" (1984)
A Stephen King short story turned horror film takes place in fictional town Gatlin, Nebraska where children of the town are enticed to murder the adults. Talk about a corn maze gone bad.
15. "Goosebumps" (1995-1998)
Okay, I know there was a 2015 movie but I love the R.L Stein books and TV show based more than anything. I remember the first I watched a Goosebumps episode and loved it. So either bust out that old VHS set or look them up online to watch.
16. "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984)
What else is their to do besides wake up from the dead and prey upon children in dreams? Not like you could do something else.
17. "Scream" (1996)
Follow a ghost face killer who kills teenagers living in a small town while a group of friends set out to find him while trying to survive.
18. "It" (1990/2017)
I was forced to watch the 1990 IT by two of my friends but I was actually willing to go see the new It. And I regret my decision because this is honestly what nightmares are made of. I'm afraid when walking past sewer drains. And I screamed when I saw it in the theater when I saw it in September.
But now that I'm invested I will have to force myself to see part two come 2019.
19. "Split" (2017)
You know all those personality changes you go through at certain times in your life? Kevin suffers from multiple personality disorder and has 23 personalities. Two of his darkest personalities take over Kevin's brain causing him to abduct three teenage girls. Take about jump scare moments, Split has several throughout the film.
20. "Jaws" (1975)
Basically an intensified show of Man vs. Wild or more like shark in this case. And how much more real looking could this shark get?
21. "Young Frankenstein" (1974)
Frederick, played by the one of Hollywoods best, Gene Wilder inherits his grandfathers estate and continues his experiments. Follow Frankenstein as he continuously escapes and falls in love with Frederick's wife. A halloween movie and love story all stuffed into one, what a classic.
22. "The Visit" (2015)
One of the few horror movies I've seen, thanks to my friends forcing me into watching it follows two sibling who visit their grandparents but find out they mental patients who escaped and killed their actual grandparents. Can you say fun grandma and grandpas house though?
23. "The Roommate" (2011)
Another horror or well creepy movie I've watched, and not willingly is The Roommate. Talk about a psychotic roommate who turns violent when her roommate decides to make more friends than just her. And I had to leave the room for cat in the dryer scene, I couldn't watch it.
25. "Paranormal Activity" (2007)
I have only seen the first 45 minutes of the first movie and I wussed out since I'm a big baby. But, word to the wise, never set up a camera during the night to catch supernatural activity going on. If anything, pack your bags and get the heck out. I certainly would.
24. "Freddy vs. Jason" (2003)

27. "Saw" (2004)
What's more fun than having to solve horrific puzzles in order live? Maybe trying to solve a rubiks cube instead.
28. "The Conjuring" (2013)
Like I've said before, I hate scary movies and this is probably one I will never build up enough guts to watch but for all you horror movie loving people follow the Perron family who moved into an abandon looking house in Rhode Island when they start, well basically realize it's haunted and try to get rid of their tormenter.
29. "The Exorcist" (1973)
Another horror movie I will never watch is based loosely on actual events where a young women starts acting odd, as in doing things that isn't normal for the human body. The local priest sends in an expert to perform an exorcism to get the devil out of her body. No thanks, I'll just watch stick HalloweenTown.
30. "Halloween" Franchise (1978-2002) 
Let's just say this classic is follows a murder who killed his younger brother and sister decides to escape and begins stalking others.
31. "Scary Movie" Franchise (2000-2013) 
Ahhhh, the scary movie franchise, my favorite. Instead of scary the crap out of their audience they take famous horror movies and turn it into a comedy. My kind of scary movie.
Whether it's watching horror movies or family-friendly movies, these classics and new movies are sure to get you in the "fright fest" of halloween.
