7 Lesser Known Halloween Movies That You Need To Watch

Are you afraid of Halloween movies? I kind of am, but I still watch ’em. There are tons of different lesser known Halloween movies to choose from and those are my favorites. My husband and I always pick a scary movie to watch each Halloween. Not too, too scary because I can’t handle that… But something creepy. Mostly thrillers. Or we will watch something entirely low key with our kids. Like over the weekend we had movie night and introduced the kids to the cult classic, Hocus Pocus. They loved it. There were a few eyebrow raising words that I had forgotten all about being in the film. Like I had to discreetly tell my children that the one word meant tall and the other word meant innocent children. (The innocent child explanation actually came from a friend and it’s genius!) Oh parenting. Perhaps we won’t show our kids a Halloween movie again anytime soon. Although there are two Disney ones on the below list that they might be able to watch. Stay tuned to find out what my husband and I watch on Halloween this year. It’s only 3 days away!

7 Lesser Known Halloween Movies That You Need To Watch

1.) The Watcher in the Woods

I first saw this movie at my elementary school and it gave me nightmares for weeks. It was back when Disney took a break from cartoons and dabbled in the supernatural family films. Three words. Bette. Davis. Eyes.

2.) Wait Until Dark

An oldie but goodie. I didn’t see this until college and it totally freaked me out. Just wait for the end. It will really get you.

3. ) Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte

This one is quite haunting. Try watching it in a dark cabin in the middle of nowhere Montana. That’s where I saw it for the first time. So, so, so creepy!

4.) Dial M for Murder

My husband and I watched this while we were dating. It’s filmed in very limited scenes/rooms so that makes it quite unique, too.

5.) Gaslight

More of a psychological thriller but definitely a must see.

6.) Child of Glass

Here’s another one of the movies when Disney took part in the creepy films for families to enjoy. Just preview it before hand and make sure it’s not too scary for your little ones.
