Most of us responsible people will be in the house for Halloween, which is perfect because nothing goes with the holiday better than a scary movie. If you’re following COVID-19 protocols and have a TV, internet connection, and Netflix, we’ve got something just for you.

The Addams Family (1991)

Angelica Houston, Christina Ricci, and Christopher Lloyd star in the 1998 version of this dark comedy.

A Haunted House (2013)

If you love Scary Movie, chances are you’ll like this movie starring Marlon Wayans and Cedric the Entertainer. It’s a spoof on scary movies that follows a young couple settling into a new home, where an evil spirit—and horrifyingly hilarious antics—await.

The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

A young F.B.I. cadet must receive the help of an incarcerated and manipulative cannibal killer to help catch another serial killer, a madman who barbarically skins his victims.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space
When teenagers Mike (Grant Cramer) and Debbie (Suzanne Snyder) see a comet crash outside their sleepy small town, they investigate and discover a pack of murderous aliens who look very much like circus clowns. They try to warn the local authorities, but everyone assumes their story is a prank. Meanwhile, the clowns set about harvesting and eating as many people as they can. It’s not until they kidnap Debbie that Mike decides it’s up to him to stop the clowns’ bloody rampage.

Poltergeist (1988)

Strange and creepy happenings beset an average California family, the Freelings — Steve (Craig T. Nelson), Diane (JoBeth Williams), teenaged Dana (Dominique Dunne), eight-year-old Robbie (Oliver Robins), and five-year-old Carol Ann (Heather O’Rourke) — when ghosts commune with them through the television set. Initially friendly and playful, the spirits turn unexpectedly menacing, and, when Carol Ann goes missing, Steve and Diane turn to a parapsychologist and eventually an exorcist for help.

House Of 1,000 Corpses (2003)
An empty fuel tank and a flat tire lead two couples down a terror-riddled road to the House of 1000 Corpses. “House of 1000 Corpses” is at its core a story of family – a cast of twisted individuals who, with each slash of a throat or stab thru the chest, add bodies to their sick human menagerie.
