I love the fall and winter seasons in Upstate New York. The weather brings warm drinks and nights tucked in the house with conversation or creative opportunity. It is almost the end of summer for many kids and young adults going back to the routine of school, but the fun of the holiday season is just beginning. The films below are not being ranked in my mind but rather collected in the representation of a fun way to kick off the oncoming spooky months.

1. It Follows (2015)

2. Session 9 (2001)

3. The Cabin in the Woods (2012)

4. Last Shift (2015)

5. Evidence (2013)

6. Dead End (2003)

7. In the Mouth of Madness (1994)

There are so many other fantastic scary and thrilling films out there, but these will help you get ready for Halloween and the fall. This list is made up of some of my favorites but also they are on here because they were done very well and deserve recognition whether they are known or not. I hope you enjoy this list and let me know in the comments which was your favorite or if you have a movie to recommend!
