With Halloween quickly approaching, many of us have already started our fall traditions. Whether that be decorating, going to pumpkin patches, carving pumpkins, or even staying in and watching fun and spooky movies.

With this year being a little different than the past, one of our only options is to stay home on this upcoming holiday. I know that may sound like no fun compared to the other things we could be doing, but don’t worry; Staying in and watching movies can be super exciting when you’re watching the right ones! Now, I know what some of you may be thinking, that you’ve already seen them all, but I can assure you that there are many more great movies out there to experience.
