Halloween is coming up soon, and if anyone knows me, they know I love horror movies. I can never seem to find one that truly scares me, but that doesn't stop me from seeing the latest one, so I've compiled a list (in no particular order). I should say it in no way includes every single "good" horror movie, because there are still several I have yet to watch, but it includes some of the better ones I've seen ! I have included some suspense, slasher, and horror-comedy to keep it balanced. Some of these are on the list just because they willingly fall into the horror movie tropes, making them enjoyable for their stereotypical nature. Hopefully I have listed some here that you have never seen before! If you're like me, and like to look up a movie before watching it, I encourage you to look at the movie's page on IMDb!
