Happy Halloween and Happy October. So, it’s been Halloween for me since maybe July? Okay, probably sooner, but don’t judge. I love summer, and I love sunshine but I do love Halloween. It’s spooky season and everybody loves a good scary movie, or a good show. You can find quite a few movies on apps like Tubi and Crackle. You can watch Zombie with a Shotgun on Tubi. I wanted to take a look at movies, shows, and even YouTube. There are some amazing content creators, reviews, and much more.
Being a Hooligan of Horror is quite easy. Over the years I have seen a lot of horror films, television shows, YouTube channels, series, web series, docu-series. I grew up watching horror movies. I think there is something calming and cathartic about watching a horror movie. Real life is horrible enough so, have fun, and watch a movie with friends, it takes your mind off of stuff. Here is my list of movies, series, and even a few YouTube channels to check out for the month of October, and my favorite holiday… Happy Halloween.
Here are some television/streaming shows to watch.

Now let’s mention a few classics that some of us have watched every year, for years. A few classics, and honorable mentions.
Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988), our genuine queen of Halloween celebrated her 40th Anniversary on SHUDDER. (SHUDDER, we LOVE you)
How can I not mention Halloween (1978), directed by John Carpenter and written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill. Michael Myers causes chaos in Haddonfield since 1978. The director, the cast, the soundtrack is by the director, the ambiance of Halloween. Let’s not forget the quotes: “It’s Halloween. Everyone’s entitled to one good scare.” Brackett. P.J. Soles, “totally.” It’s definitely a fun movie.
Okay, Beetlejuice and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I love both and you can watch them all year long if you want but both of those movies are fun to watch during Halloween.
Halloween II (1981), directed by Rick Rosenthal and written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill. Halloween II carries on with Michael Myers on the loose and Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is in a hospital which you think you would be safe, NOPE!
The Monster Squad (1987), directed by Fred Dekker, and written by Dekker and Shane Black, The Monster squad is one of those must-see movies.
Trick ‘r Treat (2007), written and directed by Michael Dougherty, Trick ‘r Treat is Halloween perfection. It’s the piece de resistance of Halloween. It’s an exceptional movie that didn’t always get the love it gets now. Everything from the cast, the masks, Sam, the whole movie.
The Omen (1976), why The Omen you ask? Okay, this movie was directed by Richard Donner and written by David Seltzer. The Omen feels ahead of it’s time. Plus, there is something about humans and the unknown mixed in with evil. Gregory Peck and Lee Remick are the parents to little Damien played by Harvey Stephens.
Okay, one of my all-time favorite franchises is the SCREAM (1996) franchise, Wes Craven directed this beautiful movie and Kevin Williamson wrote it. It plays homage to horror and also laughs at it in a classy way. A memorable cast, lines to quote for years, Ghostface, a fandom that never ends. I could go on and on about SCREAM (1996). A few other Wes Craven mentions, The People Under the Stairs, New Nightmare (1994), okay, I can hear you… WHAT? WHY? Watch New Nightmare, you see a different side to Freddy and you meet the class act theatre trained Robert Englund. More Wes Craven, The Hills Have Eyes (1977), Deadly Blessing (1981).
One of my favorite films is Night of the Living Dead (1968), directed by George A. Romero and written by Romero and John A. Russo. Night of the Living Dead is classic and beautifully shot. It’s a film you can watch again and again. It’s fun to watch around Halloween.
MAY (2002) directed by Lucky McKee. You can watch this movie anytime. The film stars Angela Bettis, Jeremy Sisto, James Duval, and Anna Faris.
Sleepaway Camp (1983) starring Felissa Rose. It’s pretty iconic. FELISSA IS ICONIC!
Haunt (2019) It’s not technically a classic yet but it’s a fun movie to watch anytime and at Halloween. Directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark which is also kind good for new horror fans to watch. It’s also currently on Netflix.
Candyman (1992) the original movie is incredible. Tony Todd and Virginia Madsen. Need I say more.
The Evil Dead
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
SAW
Nosferatu
The Silence of the Lambs
The Thing
An American Werewolf in London
The Burbs
