The week we have all been waiting for is frighteningly close to us! Halloween is creeping up to the end of this week, and the ways you can celebrate the holiday are endless!

Personally, I enjoy watching Halloween movies to put me in the Halloween spirit (even if I am the biggest fraidy cat there is). However, if you’re braver than I am, be on the lookout for some of the best to watch with your friends and loved ones!

Here is the list of the ten best scary movies of all time as listed by Rolling Stone magazine in one of their latest articles:

10. Poltergeist

9. The Thing

8. Night of the Living Dead

7. The Haunting

6. Alien

5. Texas Chainsaw Massacre

4. Halloween

3. Psycho

2. The Shining

1. The Exorcist

Although I find scary movies to be terrifying, I am a huge fan of the movie “Halloween”, which makes me pretty happy to see that it made the list!

Which movie(s) on the list have you already seen? Are there any movies that you wish would have made the list? Let us know, we’re DYING to hear them ;)

Collegiettes, we wish you the safest and scariest Halloween yet! Be sure to tell us if these movies frightened you as much as they frightened us! Happy Halloween!
