Halloween is going to look very different this year but we’re staying optimistic. As long as we have carved pumpkins, chocolate candy and an at-home Halloween scavenger hunt it will be a fun-filled holiday. To help add to the festivities, we gathered a list of our favorite horror movies—because grownups deserve their own fun, right?
Before you dive in, make sure the kids are in bed—none of the movies are kid-approved—and remember that the CDC says no screaming in large groups this year, so be sure you’re watching them with people in your household or, if you’re brave enough, alone. Some are classics like, The Exorcist and The Silence of the Lambs, and others are newer but still just as terrifying.
