Top Ten Tuesday...

 
Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week's theme was a Halloween Freebie.

So, I decided to go with ten of my favorite scary/fun movies. 


These first five aren't gory or graphic; they are quietly suspenseful in the best possible way, and will keep you on the edge of your seat... but they won't give you nightmares. 

The Uninvited


The Watcher in the Woods
(The 1980 version with Bette Davis.)

The Others


House on Haunted Hill
(Because I love Vincent Price.)


A Quiet Place



Then there are these five movies....they'll still make you jump in your seat at times, but they'll also make you laugh out loud. These are the funny/scary movies I love:

Goosebumps


DeadTectives


Love and Monsters


Happy Death Day


The Ghost Breakers


Honorable Mention:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Halloween Episode Season 2, Episode 6.



Happy Viewing!

    1. Fingers crossed, because it's really funny, as long as you don't mind a little language.

  4. Good list. I had done one before a couple of years ago, so my TTT presents books with food on their cover.

  6. My mouth dropped when I saw you included Watcher in the Woods because I was just watching that now two weeks ago! I remember seeing it in the theater as a kid and came across the full length movie on YouTube. What a blast from the past!

  11. I was recently looking up some old movies on YouTube, and came across several Vincent Price ones -- have to say, I have come to love him too. :) And I'm going to look up DeadTectives, just for that laugh-fabulous (laffabulous?) title.

    1. There were so many things in DeadTectives that totally made me laugh. :D

  12. Can't believe that of all of these, I've only seen the Vincent Price movie. That guy used to scare the bejesus out of me when I was a kid.

    1. I love Vincent Price. I think it's his voice! And if you like Ray Milland, he's in The Uninvited, which is a great movie based off of a Dorothy Macardle ghost story.

  13. I haven't watched any of these! I would stay away from the scarier ones, although I like that they have humor ;)

    1. None of these are super scary. They're more suspenseful than really scary.

      Delete
  14. Vincent Price can do creepy/scary like nobody else! Great list.

  15. Well, now I know what to look for for my Halloween television viewing!

  16. We binge watched Buffy about 10 years ago after watching it only occasionally when it first came out in the er... 90s? Loved it. Anthony Head. Yum.

    1. I love Buffy! And Anthony Stewart Head is awesome. :)

  17. Watcher in the Woods gave me nightmares BIG TIME when I was a kid.! I could probably handle it now...maybe. I also love The Others and A Quiet Place (although the sequel was a disappointment).

    Happy TTT!

    1. I love Goosebumps! It's that best combination of a little scary and a lot funny. :D

  20. I haven't seen any of these! I'm glad you said whether they were gory or not--I don't do well with gore.

    ReplyDelete
  21. The Others (creeped me out!) and A Quiet Place! Love that you included funny horror flicks, too. One of my favorite spooky movies is What Lies Beneath with Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer. I still watch it from time to time.

    1. Ooh...What Lies Beneath is a good scary one. I'd forgotten about that one!

  22. Ooh, fun list! The Quiet Place is terrifying. And yay for including Buffy!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I've only see 'The Others' and it wasn't that scary but I sort of didn't like. I haven't seen the others but 'DeadTectives' seems like fun.

    Have a lovely day.

  24. Fun! I've been trying to find a scary, but not too scary, movie to watch this year. I'll have to try to find a couple of these. :)
