Best Halloween Movies and Top Free Halloween Music
October 30th, 2008 by KarenIt’s Halloween and that means two things: Free candy and scary movies!
(Well, it also means skanky girls dressed as “sexy” witches, nurses and hookers, but that’s a different story…)
In an attempt to scare ourselves silly, we’ve been watching lots of gross Halloween movies this week, but, so far, we’re not very scared.
Watching the classic fright flick Halloween, we realized that seeing Michael Myers slowly hunting humans with a scary mask and big knife isn’t nearly as scary as seeing Mike Myers act like an Indian love expert in the Love Guru.
So, are any Halloween classics actually scary? We’re taking a look at a few popular scary Halloween movies and deciding if they’re still scary or not—but leave a comment and let us know if you can think of something scarier!
Scary or Not Very? Top Halloween Movies
Saw V
Ok, this isn’t actually out yet, but we have a sneaky feeling that it’s going to be almost identical to all of the other Saw movies. Are these things still scary/gross? Or is it getting kind of lame and predictable by now?
Cloverfield
The only scariest thing about this movie is that I paid $12 to see it. On the plus side, most of the annoying characters died. Hopefully, there won’t be a sequel to this garbage.
Child’s Play
Dolls are creepy, end of story. The movie involves some sort of story about the doll being possessed by the spirit of a killer or something silly like that. But, seriously, we just assume all dolls are evil little monsters, no explanation needed.
Nightmare on Elm St.
Yeah, the whole “Freddy is a supernatural murderer that can kill you in your dreams” thing is pretty spooky, but the worst Freddy-attack is on the character who falls asleep in the bathtub. Because, if Psycho taught us one thing, it’s that you are basically defenseless in the shower/bath. Unless you have a really tough ducky. Plus, dying naked kinda sucks.
Night of the Living Dead
This black and white zombie flick is ultra-scary because it looks like a documentary. They might be slow, but the undead in this movies are as scary as the fast-moving zombies of 28 Days Later…well, almost.
Psycho
“Mother” runs up the stairs with a knife, weird overhead camera angle.
Classic, slow-moving monsters are scary, but fast-moving crazies are terrifying!
The Ring
This might be the scariest movie ever.
Why? Because, much like Nightmare on Elm St., it gives you a sort of helpless feeling. Freddy attacks through your dreams, but the Ring comes at you through your TV and telephone! It’s a terrifying slice of modern horror—plus, the creepy editing and sound effects are unforgettable.
We need your advice!

Thank goodness, there isn’t a ringtone for The Ring! There’s a pretty sweet free Ghostbusters ringtone though.
