The adventures begin after that and the songs will always stay in our hearts.

beetlejuiceNo.9 Beetlejuice (1988)

If you are a Whovian, there is a plus as Eccleston has a role in this movie as well.

the excorcistNo.12 The Exorcist (1973)

Why do we fear possessions from demons so much? The exorcist was and always will be one of the most terrifying movies in existence. A little girl is possessed by a demon and in comes the exorcist trying to help her. Don't turn off the lights when watching this movie.

sleepy hallowNo.13 Sleepy Hollow (1999)

Johnny Depp and the headless horseman should be the alternative title. We really don't have to say anything more about this movie. Decapitations and love. Halloween at its finest!

the queen of the damnedNo.14 The Queen of the Damned (2002)

Vampires, sex, love, eternity, and the best soundtracks ever created for a horror movie. This is the whole overview! It is on our list due to the sexy Aaliyah and her scenes with Lestat.

the pactNo.15 The Pact (2012)

This is the movie to end your binge watch. After this, you will never feel alone in your house again. A haunted house or simple mind tricks after a death? A medium helps to clear this up and we feel scared throughout the whole duration of this movie.

Don't be scared! They are just movies. And there is definitely no one standing behind you. Mostly because they are under your bed. Happy Halloween!
