Hocus Pocus (1993)

Three witches, one magical spellbook, and a Halloween night gone completely wrong. Hocus Pocus has become a seasonal favorite thanks to the Sanderson sisters, whose hilarious antics bring just the right mix of mischief and magic.

Set in Salem, Massachusetts, the film follows teenager Max Dennison, who accidentally resurrects Winifred, Sarah, and Mary Sanderson after lighting the Black Flame Candle. With the help of his sister Dani, his friend Allison, and a talking black cat named Binx, Max must stop the witches before sunrise.

Scream (1996)

What’s your favorite scary movie? That simple question became one of horror’s most iconic lines when Scream introduced audiences to Ghostface, a masked killer who turned the rules of slasher movies into a deadly game.

Directed by Wes Craven, the film follows Sidney Prescott, a high school student in Woodsboro, California, who becomes the target of a mysterious killer terrorizing her town. As the body count rises, Sidney and her friends must figure out who’s behind the mask before they’re next.

Trick ‘r Treat (2007)

Halloween has rules, and breaking them can have deadly consequences. Trick ‘r Treat brings those rules to life through a series of interconnected horror stories, all tied together by Sam, a mysterious trick-or-treater wearing orange pajamas and a burlap sack mask.

Set in a small Ohio town on Halloween night, the film follows several residents whose celebrations take terrifying turns. From a school principal hiding a sinister secret to a group of teenagers investigating a local legend, each story reveals what happens when Halloween traditions aren’t taken seriously.

Beetlejuice (1988)

Say his name three times, and you might just regret it. Beetlejuice introduced one of cinema’s most unforgettable troublemakers, a mischievous ghost with wild green hair, a striped suit, and absolutely no respect for the living or the dead.

Directed by Tim Burton, the film follows Barbara and Adam Maitland, a recently deceased couple who discover that a new family has moved into their beloved home. Desperate to scare them away, they turn to Beetlejuice, a chaotic bio-exorcist whose idea of helping quickly spirals out of control.

The Exorcist (1973)

Some horror movies rely on jump scares. The Exorcist takes a different approach, building an atmosphere of dread that has unsettled audiences for more than five decades. Its disturbing imagery and supernatural themes helped make it one of the most influential horror films ever made.

Directed by William Friedkin, the film follows Chris MacNeil, a mother whose 12-year-old daughter, Regan, begins exhibiting increasingly terrifying behavior. When doctors fail to explain what’s happening, Chris turns to two Catholic priests who attempt to save Regan through an exorcism.

Hereditary (2018)

Some family secrets are better left buried. Hereditary takes psychological horror to disturbing new heights, turning grief, family tension, and unsettling supernatural events into a nightmare that stays with you long after the credits roll.

Directed by Ari Aster, the film follows Annie Graham, a miniature artist whose family begins experiencing terrifying events after the death of her secretive mother. As Annie uncovers disturbing details about her family’s past, she realizes that something far more sinister may be behind their suffering.

Terrifier (2016)

Clowns are supposed to make you laugh, but Art the Clown has other plans. Terrifier introduces one of modern horror’s most disturbing villains, a silent, black-and-white-faced killer whose twisted sense of humor makes every encounter even more unsettling.

Directed by Damien Leone, the film follows Tara Heyes and her friend Dawn, who cross paths with Art the Clown on Halloween night. What begins as an uncomfortable encounter quickly becomes a brutal fight for survival as the masked killer stalks them through an abandoned building.

Obsession (2026)

Be careful what you wish for. Obsession takes the familiar idea of unrequited love and twists it into something far more sinister, exploring what happens when romantic feelings turn into a dangerous fixation.

Directed by Curry Barker, the supernatural horror film follows Bear, a young man who uses a mysterious wish-granting object to make his longtime crush, Nikki, fall in love with him. But when his wish comes true, her affection quickly becomes an increasingly terrifying obsession.

Send Help (2026)

Being stranded on a deserted island sounds terrifying enough. Now imagine being stuck there with the boss you can’t stand. Send Help blends survival horror with dark comedy, turning an already uncomfortable workplace relationship into a deadly struggle for control.

Directed by Sam Raimi, the film follows Linda Liddle and her boss, Bradley Preston, who become the only survivors of a plane crash. Forced to work together on a remote island, their professional tensions escalate as Linda’s survival skills begin to shift the balance of power.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)
