This feeling of horror movie monsters who terrify me the most but cannot get enough of right now is something that happens to me about this time every year. Halloween is just a few days away which also means we’re about to put a bow on the 2023 spooky season. I’m always a little sad to see it go just like I am when we finally pack away the Christmas decorations in early January. Most importantly though, I feel as if I have to watch all of the monster movies as much as I can before November hits. Some of these monsters still jump-scare me every time.
So Many Movie Monsters So Little Time
Since the 1930s, there’s been a horror movie monster in each decade that has become a staple of Halloween culture. In the 1930s it was Dracula, in the 2010s it was Pennywise from It, and in between are monsters that each bring their own unique scare to the screen. I love watching three or four Halloween movies in a day or watching Freddy Krueger haunt the dreams of so many teens who did their best to just stay awake all night. Every year I think I can watch everything I like starting October 1st, but there are too many movies and not enough time.
Expediting The Scare
Since we’re almost to November you might just have to condense your scare before the holidays and make sure you watch only the things you know will have you looking over your shoulder or peeking through a blanket. I’ve created a list of my favorite jump-scare Halloween movies. Some of them take me back to when I first saw them when I was a kid, to one I just saw about two years ago. It took me three years to work up the courage to watch it. This feeling of horror movie monsters who terrify me the most but cannot get enough of right now is something that happens to me about this time every year. Check out my list below!
