3.) Sleepy Hollow (1999)

 A dark, eerie scene from the movie Sleepy Hollow featuring a cloaked figure on horseback, presumably the Headless Horseman, standing before a twisted, gnarled tree in a fog-filled, leafless forest. A large, ominous opening is visible at the base of the tree, and in the background, two figures can be seen cautiously approaching, adding to the suspenseful atmosphere. The scene is shrouded in deep shadows, enhancing its supernatural and foreboding tone.

This Tim Burton gothic horror perfectly matches the fall season with its foggy forests, wickedly gnarled trees, and a perpetually gray sky. The striking visuals in this adaptation of Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow look like part of a Halloween must.


4.) The Cabin in the Woods (2012)

A scene from the movie The Cabin in the Woods featuring a young woman adjusting her hair in front of a mirror, while a man stands on the other side, watching her through what appears to be a one-way window. The setting is inside a rustic, wooden cabin, creating a tense and mysterious atmosphere. The woman seems unaware of being observed, while the man looks intently, heightening the feeling of secrecy and unease.

According to Eric Kohn of Indie Wire, this sci-fi comedy horror flick is “one of the most wryly self-aware works of American pop culture entertainment in years” (13). And when a movie is “self-aware,” it knows exactly what it’s trying to do to suspend disbelief, the parodies it uses, and the cliches it holds to drive the plot forward.

It’s pretty campy for horror films but great for fall escapes to those remote locations. What unfolds in the movie from its “typical” premise is a thrilling and horrifying ride filled with exciting surprises, making it a fun and spooky pick for popcorn night during fall.


5.) Coraline (2009)

A scene from the movie Coraline featuring a young girl with blue hair, wearing orange pajamas, kneeling on the floor in a dimly lit room. She is opening a small door in the wall, peeking inside with curiosity. The room is sparsely furnished with a fireplace and old tools, creating an eerie and mysterious atmosphere. Sunlight streams through the windows, casting shadows that enhance the sense of intrigue and adventure.

This stop-motion animated film is based on Neil Gaiman’s novel about a young girl discovering a secret door leading to a seemingly perfect parallel world. It’s an excellent first foray for children into the genre.

The button eyes alone already make it creepy, but combine that with the masterfully done storytelling, and you get a spooky yet family-friendly choice for all.
