Halloween Horror Movies – Top 10 Scariest of All Time

I honestly had no idea what a big deal the Halloween movie "Hocus Pocus" is. Like, none. My husband was appalled when I admitted that I've never actually seen the movie, but lucky (I think?) for me, I'll have plenty of chances to watch it this Halloween season because Freeform will be showing it an unbelievable 27 times through the month of October as part of their 31 Nights of Halloween.

If you're looking for a Halloween movie that isn't quite as tame as Hocus Pocus, if terrifying movies are more your thing, more than 100 film experts were asked to help put together a list of the best Halloween horror movies and according to them, these are the Top 10 Horror Movies of all time.

10. Jaws (1975)
9. Night of the Living Dead (1968)

If you want to watch a Halloween type movie, but aren't into super scary stuff, or are looking for a movie that is safe to watch with the kiddos (ages 8 and up), these are my top five favorite Halloweenish movies that are on the more tame side. I know I'm not a film expert, but...
