31 Spooky Movies to Get You in the Mood for Halloween

Spooky season is upon us and if I had to rank the percentages of things i’ve watched in my life non-scary to scary, it would fall somewhere around 90/10. When I was 3 or 4-years-old I was spending the night at my grandparents house. Meeme (my grandma) LOVED scary movies and my first taste of a scary movie was Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. Honestly, I have not fully recovered from that trauma and just avoid scary movies all together.
