October is the month of Halloween. Anyone who knows me well knows that Halloween is one of my all-time favorite holidays. They also know that other than writing, one of my great loves is movies. And combining Halloween and movies is even better. I’ve seen a lot of movies in my life, but Halloween-themed / horror movies are some of my favorites. And out of all of those, there are a select few that aren’t just great Halloween movies, they’re great movies period. So in honor of Halloween, here are (in no particular order) the top 10 Halloween / horror movies of all time.

2. “Friday the 13th” (1980)
3. “Carrie” (1976)
