\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s October, you’re stuck inside your dorm room with nothing to do, how about a horror movie? As spooky season approaches, the weather gets colder, the days become shorter, and sleep schedules everywhere are thrown into chaos because of scary movies. Guys confidently ask girls to come over to watch \u201cThe Conjuring\u201d\u00a0<\/i>or \u201cGet Out\u201d <\/i>only to realize they can\u2019t make it through the movie without frequently crying and nervously checking the dim lit hallway on the other side of the house. Having a boo to watch horror flicks with makes everything better, and a bowl of popcorn and a blanket doesn\u2019t hurt either, but regardless of your tactics to reduce the fright factor, these five movies are sure to\u00a0stick with you long after the credits roll.<\/p>\n

1. The Shining<\/i>:<\/i><\/p>\n

An oldie but a goodie, this serial killer thriller stars Jack Nicholson in a role you won\u2019t soon forget.<\/p>\n

2. The Conjuring<\/i>:<\/i><\/p>\n

Warning: for experienced horror movie fans only! There\u2019s no other way to say it, you will not sleep for at least a week after viewing this movie. Watch at your own risk, and with others. That said, it\u2019s an excellent movie staring Patrick Wilson, a top tier actor.<\/p>\n

3. Poltergeist<\/i>:<\/i><\/p>\n

Another oldie that illusively contains some considerably scary moments\u00a0for a\u00a01982 film.\u00a0The shot for shot 2015 remake is good as well, and the advanced special effects make it even scarier.<\/p>\n

4. Get Out<\/i>:<\/i><\/p>\n

Jordan Peele directed and\u00a0wrote this psychological thriller that catapulted Daniel\u00a0Kaluuya\u00a0into the national spotlight. You might want to watch a Disney movie directly after this film\u00a0for recovery\u00a0because it plays with the mind and introduces true fear into a seemingly loving relationship\u00a0in a way that will haunt you for days.<\/p>\n

5. A Nightmare on Elm Street<\/i>:<\/i><\/p>\n

Everyone knows about Freddy Krueger, the\u00a0burnt\u00a0faced, claw handed, hat wearing, dream killer. The lines are cheesy, the special effects are\u00a0elementary,\u00a0and the scares won\u2019t leave you trembling but for some reason,\u00a0A Nightmare on Elm Street\u00a0<\/i>is a must watch in the horror genre.<\/p>\n

As October\u00a0rolls along and we creep toward Halloween, it\u2019s vital to have a base foundation of go-to scary movies for the season.\u00a0When asked about his horror movie preferences,\u00a0Nick Grasso, creator of\u00a0GrassyFilms<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>said, \u201cScary movies are elite and effective, especially at Halloween. Watching some new ones and some old ones can make for a great time\u00a0for a group of friends or a couple on a date. There\u2019s just no feeling like being scared.\u201d\u00a0Don\u2019t forget to do some research before hand and\u00a0make sure to find at least 1 other person to watch with, because face it: only crazy people watch horror movies alone. Grab some snacks and soda and a seat on the sofa for a\u00a0hauntingly good time this Halloween with any of\u00a0the\u00a0movies listed above,\u00a0and don\u2019t forget to check the cellar door before you go to bed! Happy watching, and happy Halloween.<\/p>\n
