Among the Halloween themed titles I enjoy watching at this time of year are some of the Corman-Poe films (especially House of Usher and Pit and the Pendulum), the old Universal horror films, Nosferatu 1922 (preferably with the James Bernard score), and on Halloween itself, I usually do a Hitchcock double feature with Psycho and The Birds (last year, I made it a triple feature by watching Rebecca before those films since it’s based on a Daphne du Maurier story like The Birds). If you want films that genuinely induce scares, the original film of The Haunting fits the bill.

I'd recommend Romero's Living Dead trilogy, any and all early Carpenter, the classic Universal monsters pics, and 80s goodness like Pumpkinhead, The Lost Boys, and Return of the Living Dead.
I'm hoping to watch The Dead Don't Die and Don't Breathe next month. Anyone have thoughts on those two?

Another good one for the whole family. More fun than frightening, with its dueling wizards.

Tango, I thought The Dead Don't Die was horrible. I thought it would be comedic, but it was terribly boring. I fast forwarded through the second half. IMHO.
Uh oh. I hadn’t heard great things about it, but the cast seemed too good to pass up. Thanks for the head’s up, Joan. Hopefully I’ll be able to glean some entertainment from its running time.
Hocus Pocus and Poltergeist are great shouts as well. The first I enjoyed watching on the Disney Channel growing up and should revisit for nostalgia purposes some day; the second is plain great filmmaking—Spielberg’s one true horror film, though the directing credit would go to Tobe Hooper.
Nightmare Before Christmas is a great film from my childhood as well, though peculiarly one I don’t tend to associate with either of its featured holidays!
