If you haven’t made up your mind on what activities to do this Halloween, then this may help you decide.

For some people, watching scary movies during Halloween is one tradition that they would never pass on.

Aside from experiencing the creepy feeling of this season while lounging on the sofa watching zombies and ghosts stream on the flat screen television, it also gives you a chance to stay at home and enjoy togetherness with your family or bond with friends.

And, of course, this is the perfect setting for you to munch on the Halloween goodies your Mom has prepared only for this season, along with the colorful decorations.

Real Simple has compiled a list of movies that are perfect for those who would rather spend Halloween at home and enjoy scary movies that are ideal for the season.

Here are ten of the movies that you may want to watch come Halloween night.

Halloween
Perfect for the thrill seekers, this tale about an escaped masked murderer creeping around the fictional town of Haddonfield will surely up your anxiety. As Stacie Ponder, a columnist on AMC’s Horror Hacker blog, says, the movie “relies more on atmosphere than graphic horror.”

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
A movie for families, this heartfelt animated classic is full of good friends, faith, and fun.

The Haunting
For Old-Movie Fans, The Haunting is “one to watch under the blankets with the lights off,” says Ponder. The spooky movie has it all – sinister music, lighting, and special effects – without a drop of blood.

Young Frankenstein
Take a classic novel, add Gene Wilder and an off-camera horse whinny, and you’ve got director Mel Brooks’ masterfully funny Young Frankenstein. This spoof of Mary Shelley’s famed story about a mechanical monster trades in ghouls for giggles.

Drag me to Hell
In Drag Me to Hell, a loan officer turns down an aging gypsy’s application only to face down a dark curse that threatens to steal her soul. There are plenty of jump-out-of-your-seat moments, lots of gore, and a surprising amount of laughs. “Scary movies are rarely this fun,” says Ponder.

The Monster Squad
The kids of The Monster Squad attempt to retrieve a magical amulet, fighting off a domination-seeking Dracula and his frightening minions. Great special effects and witty writing have made this flick a cult favorite. This flick will make the adventurous happy.

Whatever kind of celebration you’re up to this Halloween, for the movie buff, one of these movies will surely set the mood of this Halloween season.
