Halloween is the night when the dead and departed rise again to be among us while other horrifying things also roam free.

Then we watch a notorious group of pranksters take it too far and discover the horrible truth buried within a local legend. Shiver as we see a group of women cross paths with a nefarious stalker at a local festival. Finally, an ill-tempered old hermit is paid a visit by a strange trick-or-treater.

What makes a Halloween movie an absolute delight is its ability to frighten you, irrespective of your age. Even though it's a remake, The Amityville Horror not only accomplishes its task to scare the bejeezus out of you, but also emerges as a generally well-done movie.

The film features a splendid combination of graphic visuals and subtle movements, making it utterly suspenseful and amazingly scary. So, what’s your poison? The fear of the dead or catching sight of a monster under your bed? No matter what it is, swallow it up.

Despite all these prior events, the family decides to stay in the house and try their best to forget its horrific history. But soon things get worse as George starts to behave differently. Their daughter Chelsea starts feeling the presence of unknown entities. What follows is a month-long rampage of terror for the family with evil visions of the dead.

Easing us into Halloween is The Addams Family. This beloved horror comedy show first aired as a theatrical release in 1991. The Director Barry Sonnenfeld’s vision derived inspiration not solely from the original Charles Adams cartoon, but also from the live-action TV series that worked its magic to bring the titular family to life in the 60s.

The Addams Family’s story-line revolves around the assumed reunion between the lead Gomez and Fester, his brother. Fester has been missing for 25 long years. Sadly for Gomez, there is some mischief afoot. His "brother" may not be who he claims. While the family finds it quite comfortable to stay within the confines of their estate and mansion, comedy ensues when the family takes on the modern world to find jobs. Without a doubt, in the kingdom of horror-comedies, The Addams Family remains a classic.

This dark history only adds to the Broussard Mansion's overall appeal on Halloween. At an out-of-control party, Lily and Maddie run into their exes, Dex and Colin. All the while, Suzanne parties it up alone. However, the good times end soon as the police bust up the party.  Once all the guests leave the mansion, Angela, Maddie, Lily, Dex, Colin, Suzanne, and Jason unveil its horrible secret. Suddenly, their cell phones stop working and the mansions gates are mysteriously locked.  Soon it is made clear by the supernatural forces at the Broussard Mansion that there may be more to that dark history than anyone could know.

Cast: Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon, Catherine O’Hara, William Hickey, Glenn Shadix, Paul Reubens, Greg Proops, Ken Page

It’s difficult enough for a movie to be considered a holiday classic for one holiday, much less two. Tim Burton's The Nightmare before Christmas might be the sole example.

You must be wondering if it's a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? One might argue that it’s the latter, but one also learns lessons similar to those that appear in the former.

The story revolves around Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town. He lurches into Christmas Town thanks to an accident. He’s amazed at the magic and charismatic spirit of Santa’s world and realizes how boring his own Halloween shenanigans are. So he tries to bring together both worlds. Predictably it all leads disaster! What he experiences along the way is heaps of fun, whether you're a big fan of one holiday or the other.

Storyline: Murderous hipsters. One very unlucky dude. That's all you need to know.

Director: Jeremy Saulnier

Writer:  Jeremy Saulnier

Stars: Chris Sharp, Kate Porterfield, Tess Porterfield Lovell

If you are putting together your own Netflix Halloween film festival and need some laughs in between the scares, you’d be well advised to pour yourself a big bowl of candy corn and catch  “Murder Party.” It's a safer option than going to a hipster party.

It's Halloween night in Brooklyn. Our hero Chris is a forlorn and unremarkable man. However, this night he comes across a strange invitation on the street. He follows it thinking it will be the key to a fun costume party. It turns out to be a deadly trap instead. Set upon by a group of deranged hipsters, the trap lures Chris to their isolated warehouse base. They had planned to ritually murder him to leave a good impression on their sinister and wealthy patron, who soon greets them with a promise to reward them with money. As the drug and booze-fueled night goes dark, altercations within the group flare up and lead to violent results. Chris must use this situation to his favor if he's ever to flee the warehouse and live to tell the tale.

Director: Ron McLellen

Writer: Ron McLellen

Stars: Ian Isaksson, Alyssa Lewis, Rusty Smith

The quiet and drowsy town of Hallowed Hill is regarded by many as the Halloween capital of the world. Thanks to its pagan origins and dark history, people from all over the world gather in the town on Hallow’s eve. It is believed that nearly 200 years ago, on Halloween, an enormous evil was released on the town by a witch who dabbled in the black arts. After creating havoc and mayhem all night long, the witch was finally stopped by a select group of townsfolk who dispatched the evil witch back into the darkness.

After that terrible night, the book was hidden away. This was done to make sure that the book was never again used to set free dark forces. 200 years later, the book is rediscovered by a young girl in the old basement of the local library. With help from her wicked mother, the two set the evil spirit free from his hell-bound prison to inflict mayhem on Halloween night. Now, the question arises: can the town come together and stop the evil? Or will it be Hallowed Hill that's destroyed by the Lord of the Harvest? You'll find out in All Hallows Evil.
