Since October is here, I thought I’d share a list of horror movies that will get you embracing the spirit of the spooky season. I’ve always been a fan of horror movies. Whether it’s the classics like Friday the 13th or the latest movies like The Conjuring series, you’ll always find me having a horror movie marathon during the fall.

If you’re like my friends–where you don’t have the stomach to watch a scary movie or you get scared too easily–let me just say, there’s always something for someone. This is the perfect time to snuggle up with your boo or host a halloween theme watch party with your besties to welcome fall with a (subtle) bang. And if you’re one to get nightmares after watching people get killed by horror legends, it’ll help to sleep with the lights on (maybe).
