“The Exorcist” (1973)

No scary movie marathon is complete without the ancestor of them all, The Exorcist. A young girl, Regan, becomes possessed by a demonic force, and two priests are called in to save her. Good luck not thinking about Regan’s spinning head next time you hear a creaky noise.

“The Conjuring” (2013)

If haunted houses give you the chills, The Conjuring will have you hiding under your blanket. Based on the real-life cases of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, the film follows their investigation of a family tormented by a dark force in their farmhouse.

“Scary Movie” (2000)

A parody of every horror movie cliché imaginable, Scary Movie takes the genre’s ridiculousness to the extreme. From slasher films to supernatural horrors, this film spoofs them all with over-the-top jokes, physical comedy, and wildly inappropriate humor.

“Hocus Pocus” (1993)

Kick off your spooky night with this classic witch’s brew of laughs and lighthearted frights. Sure, they’re trying to steal children’s souls, but they do it with so much flair and sass, you almost root for them. Plus, who can resist a good rendition of “I Put a Spell on You”?
