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 Irvingâs The Legend of Sleepy Hollow look like part of a Halloween must.
4.) The Cabin in the Woods (2012)

According to Eric Kohn of Indie Wire, this sci-fi comedy horror flick is âone of the most wryly self-aware works of American pop culture entertainment in yearsâ (13). And when a movie is âself-aware,â it knows exactly what itâs trying to do to suspend disbelief, the parodies it uses, and the cliches it holds to drive the plot forward.
Itâs pretty campy for horror films but great for fall escapes to those remote locations. What unfolds in the movie from its âtypicalâ 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)

This stop-motion animated film is based on Neil Gaimanâs novel about a young girl discovering a secret door leading to a seemingly perfect parallel world. Itâs 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.
