Scary movies complete me during this lovely Halloween season so here’s a little guide to my 10 top favorites. * Note: Technically, two of these movies are legitimately scary. But the rest are my favorites when it comes to appropriate seasonal fun. So enjoy and don’t try to fight me!
+Shaun of the Dead: Ok, so this isn’t a scary movie. But don’t tell me that your butt muscles didn’t clench while the zombies started to break into the Winchester. This can also be considered as my favorite comedy and one of my favorites movies of all time.
Not for: people who have not become desensitized to the f-bomb, people that hate British people.
+Paranormal Activity: I’ve seen it three times and I still haven’t managed to keep my eyes open during that final scene. And I never will!
Not for: people who have souls, God fearing individuals, people who are not down with Satan…
+The Strangers: I recall nonstop tears falling from my eyes while watching this is theaters. So horrible. So great. And Dennis Reynolds is in it!
Not for: people that live alone out in the country, people that have serious issues with burlap sack masks.
+Hocus Pocus: This classic just reeks of childhood. I know that every girl at one point in their life has called dibbs on which Sanderson sister witch they want to be (i.e., not the forgettable chubby one and preferably the slutty Sarah Jessica Parker one).
Not for: This movie is for everyone! Unless you’re an unspirited a-hole.
+Drag me to Hell: So much fun. The grossest movie you will ever watch, other than Jackass 3D, I’m sure. I love that my family went to go see this in theaters for FHE.
Not for: Those with weak stomachs.
+The Ring: This is the first real scary movie that I saw in theaters. I was about 13 or 14 and I remember bolting out of my seat for the door on multiple occasions. I watch it now and laugh, but that was some messed up stuff for a girl who ran home from school everyday to watch Full House, Saved by the Bell, Family Matters, then whatever original movie that was playing on the Disney channel, in that particular order.
Not for: 13 year old girls who just want to daydream about Ryan Merriman.
+Scary Movie 3: Also not considered a scary movie, but it is too hilarious not to mention. This movie is seriously funny. If you’ve seen the other movies in the franchise but not this one, I promise this one is nothing like the others and that it’s truly a diamond in the rough.
Not for: People who are not funny.
+Ghostbusters: Classic. My dream is to see all three in the movie theaters. Why was I born in the late 80s??
Not for: Those sympathetic to marshmallow.
+Beetlejuice: Tim Burton has done some pretty crappy stuff in the last decade—he should just stick to making weirdo stuff like Beetlejuice. This movie will never not make me smile.
Not for: People that hate on yellow teef and green hair, those who have been misguided into hating Alec Baldwin.

The Shining- It's great to see Jack go crazy over something other than the lakers
