Halloween isn’t a day. It’s a season. And there’s no better way to keep the thrills, chills and scares coming than to set up a Halloween movie marathon that lasts the whole month. If you have Netflix, the work is done for you. These Halloween movies on Netflix have all the flavors of scares you can need. There are installments of beloved Halloween franchises, like Friday the 13th or Child’s Play. There are the extreme gore and guts favored by Netflix horror movies. There are artier, psychological scares for those who want to be frightened, but would rather not see any blood, thank you very much. And then there are the horror comedies, so you can watch something before you go to bed without worrying about nightmares. (Be warned: None of these are movies you’d want to watch on family movie night — we have a separate list of kids’ Halloween movies, if that’s what you’re looking for.) You can take a weekend and watch a bunch in a row and make a Halloween game out of it, counting the number of demonic possessions, fake-out jump scares, unsettling kids and creepy dream sequences you come across. Happy Halloween!
