Any Scooby Doo Movie. Ever.

Found on: Amazon and Netflix

 

 

Scooby Doo, a classic, not too terrifying movie series. Come on, gang! I personally recommend Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost or Scooby Doo on Zombie Island.

Scare Rating – 1/10

 

Silence of the Lambs

Found on: Hulu

 

 

A cult classic. Silence of the Lambs is a psychological thriller. I personally didn’t find it too scary.

Trigger Warning: Cannibalism, Assault, Gore, Sexual Assault

Scare Rating – 5/10

 

The Addams Family and Addams Family Values

Found on: Netflix or Hulu

 

 

A family friendly classic. Not too scary but hilarious!

Trigger Warning: Arson, Animal Sacrifice, Light BDSM, Weapons, Dark Humor, Implied Assault and Murder

Scare Rating – 2/10

 

The Babadook

Found on – Netflix

 

 

Yet another thriller, I wouldn’t consider the Babadook to be a horror movie in a sense but it’s still perfect for Halloween!

Trigger Warning: Suicide, Mental health discrimination, assault, car accident, weapons used to harm, abusive parental relationship

Scare Rating – 6/10

 

Halloweentown and every other Halloweentown movie

Found on – Xfinity On Campus

 

 

The best Halloween-Disney movie ever.

Scare Rating – 1/10

 

Mama

Found on: Amazon

 

 

After watching this movie, I needed the lights on…

Trigger Warning – Children in need, Orphans, Death

Scare Rating – 8/10

 

Casper the Friendly Ghost

Found on: Amazon

 

 

A cute movie involving everyone’s favorite and sweetest little ghost

Scare Rating – 1/10

 

The Autopsy of Jane Doe

Found on: Amazon

 

Hands down one of the scariest movies I have ever watched.

Trigger Warning: Corpses, Nudity, Bugs

Scare Rating – 10/10

 

The Haunted Mansion

Found on: Amazon

 

 

Who doesn’t love Eddie Murphy in his glory days?

Scare Rating – 2/10

 

IT

If you have a fear of clowns, I’d sit this one out
