Bridgewater, Va.- In honor of Halloween being a few weeks away, students share their favorite Halloween and horror movies to watch during the month of October.

What’s New?

• Sophomore Savannah Clark has a list of her personal favorite Halloween themed movies.  
• “One of my favorites is ‘Beetlejuice,’” said Clark. “’When you rewatch ‘Beetlejuice’ at this age, it’s a lot more humorous and also very sexualized, which is not the best, but it is a hilarious movie.”
• Her other two favorites are “Hocus Pocus” and “The Addams Family.” From her list of favorite Halloween themed movies, she recommends that people watch “Return to HalloweenTown.” 
• Senior Ben Riddle’s top Halloween themed movies are “Pet Sematary,” “The Fourth Kind” and “Fear Street.”
• “‘Pet Sematary’ is another one of those older movies,” said Riddle. “It’s about a place behind someone’s home that has a notoriety to it. You can put your pets in the cemetery, and they will come back to life a few days later, but they’re creepy. One day, their kid passes away, so they decide to put him in the cemetery, and it’s like a ‘Chucky’ scenario.” 
• Clark and Riddle both recommend that students watch the “Halloween” franchise movies. 
•  “As far as actual scary movies, it’s the ‘Halloween’ franchise,” said Clark. “To me, they’re not scary, but the way they went about it was humorous at some parts.”
• “You can’t beat the ‘Halloween’ movies with Micheal Myers. Just because of the creepiness of them, I would definitely recommend them for newer Halloween watchers,” said Riddle.
