Fresh:
A romantic meet-cute turns into a chilling thriller in this movie as a weekend getaway turns out to be more than what Noa plans for. The film follows Noa, who is tired of dating apps and suddenly finds someone in Steven when they meet at the grocery store, or so she thought. During a romantic getaway, things turn for the worse as Noa finds out about Steve's odd taste or, more aptly, his warped appetite. A thrilling movie that makes you question everything.

A slightly different vibe from the rest of the list but still keeps to the Halloween theme with a superhero twist.

We're still a couple of months out from its release, so it's hard to tell how great it is, but the trailer contains some of the most petrifying scenes you've ever seen in two minutes and 24 seconds; the type to make your blood run cold and send shivers up your spine.

Hocus Pocus 2:
I’d be remiss if I didn’t add this to the list; it's not the most blood-curdling film on this list, but Hocus Pocus 2 is definitely one of the most anticipated. Twenty-nine years after the beloved original premiered, the Sanderson Sisters return to modern-day Salem after three teens accidentally conjure them up. With the icons Kathy Najimy, Bette Midler, and Sarah Jessica Parker reprising their roles in the sequel as spellbinding sisters, it's a highly anticipated watch.
Now that we're fully into the spooky season, you have a list of movies to cuddle up in the dark and get scared to or laugh your loudest to with this list. There's a little of everything, and no matter what you love in movies, there's something for everyone; for the added spice of true crime, watch the highly publicized Dahmer series for more creeps.
