The weather’s crummy, but it’s Halloween weekend, so the time is right to get your scares on — even if you have no interest in putting on a costume and leaving the house. For the perfect way to kick off Halloweekend, here an essential streaming horror marathon, from us to you.

Grab your sour candies, fun size M&Ms, and Halloween Joe Joes; grab your favorite fuzzy blanket; and light your favorite pumpkin spice candle, folks. We’re settling in this Halloween with our very own marathon of scary films to get us in the mood this spooky season. 

With the pandemic sticking around for another round, but vaccination rates on the rise, it’s easy to get torn on what you should do. Head to a party? Hang out on Hanover Ave? Stay in for a mini-marathon of horror classics? If you’re like us, you’re going to be taking the introvert’s approach. So let’s cuddle up with loved ones as we sit on edge of the couch and screech at all of our favorite jump scares, courtesy of this curated list of films to get you in the mood this weekend.

While any good Halloween marathon naturally draws from classics such as Nightmare on Elm St, Friday the 13th, and a good Hitchcock film for our more classically inclined friends, we decided to take an open poll – what are some of your favorite underrated spooky films? These just some of the responses we received, but they’re available on streaming services.
