So awesome to see this Fan Film connect the whole franchise including Michael Myers and Thorn Cult to Silver Shamrock Novelties and Halloween III: Season of the Witch! ☘️🎃
A recently discovered lost film reel with footage dating back to Halloween 1960 contains disturbing evidence that a young Michael Myers was once a subject of the Silver Shamrock Corporation’s top-secret experiments, conducted under the codename PROJECT SHAMROCK.

Halloween 2026 is just days away. If you're looking for even more horror movies to add to your spooky season watchlist, this video is for you! I'm talking about horror movies you might have missed that are perfect for Halloween!
Halloween is just days away, and if you're looking for more horror movies to add to your spooky season watch list, here are ten films you might have missed. So let's dive into it!
This psychological horror movie centers on a forensic anthropologist who is pulled into a brutal murder investigation after the body of her father, who went missing 36 years prior, shows up at one of the crime scenes.
This is such a pleasant surprise of the year for me and it has jumped up to the top of my favorite horror movies of 2026. The special effects in this movie are phenomenal and I am so impressed with what they were able to accomplish and I heard that there was very little digital editing done after this. There's puppetry involved. The first half feels like Seven meets The Autopsy of Jane Doe, as the characters investigate horrific crimes and unsettling crime scenes.
The gore and the blood and the special effects are incredible. Like the crime scenes themselves are super unsettling. And there's a final act that will blow you away. I don't want to give too much away, but this is one you should watch without knowing much beforehand. It also has the perfect atmosphere for spooky season. If you have not watched this one yet, it is currently streaming on Shudder.
Starring Nicolas Cage, Pay the Ghost follows a father whose young son goes missing on Halloween. A year later, he starts to dive deeper into what happened and discovers that there may be a supernatural explanation behind his son's disappearance.
This movie never seems to get mentioned enough in Halloween movie discussions, which is a shame because it's super underrated. The vibes and atmosphere of this scream Halloween because there's decorations everywhere and a Halloween carnival that they go to.
What I love most is how the story becomes much bigger than expected. Cage's character eventually finds himself trying to save his son from another world, giving the movie a Poltergeist-style feel. I think it is a perfect cozy addition to your Halloween watchlist. You can currently stream it on Tubi.
Millie Shapiro, best known for playing Charlie in Hereditary, stars in this scrappy little independent new horror movie on Shudder as Pumpkin, a young girl obsessed with Halloween. After an apocalypse, she believes she's the last person left on Earth. That changes when a group of strangers arrives on Halloween night, forcing her to fight for survival.
I had a lot of fun with this one. The movie really uses its environment to its full advantage. We have this super lived-in farmhouse where Pumpkin lives in. It feels like a real home she's occupied for years, and the Halloween decorations scattered throughout the place and the vibes and atmosphere and aesthetic are just spot on.
There are orange hues everywhere, and it feels like it captures Halloween night. Pumpkin even uses the holiday to her advantage when fighting off a group of cannibal-like attackers. The strangers have their own unusual masks and unique looks for Halloween. It's just fun.
Shannon Sossamon also does a great job as the leader of the thugs. I just love this movie it was such a fun little surprise.
The Halloween That Almost Wasn't is a nostalgic children's television special that originally aired on ABC. This Emmy Award-winning production centers on Dracula, who is trying to save Halloween after a witch decides she no longer wants to celebrate the holiday.
Dracula teams up with his band of monsters to save the day, making this a sweet, family-friendly Halloween adventure. It's short, simple, and just brings you those cozy fuzzy feelings that you felt watching TV as a kid back in the day. You can find it on YouTube above.
Curse of Crom 2: Crom's Fury is a fun sequel to the first film. This time, Mary is kidnapped, and her father teams up with her boyfriend, Harvey, to save her and stop Crom from destroying the world.
The stakes are higher in this one, and there's even more creatures at play. It almost has a Gremlins vibe to it, with some fun set pieces, one in a movie theater. The characters also travel to Ireland, where Crom originated.
A lot of fun silly moments. This movie doesn't take itself too seriously. It's just very sweet. If you're looking for lighter fare with really well-done special effects, I highly recommend checking this one out.
You can rent it on Amazon Prime, and the first movie is available on Tubi.
This centers on two brothers who embark on a journey of revenge after this family held the other brother captive for years. This story is set on Halloween and it features an interesting take on the vampire lore where the vampire is a Nazi, okay?
He's played by Michael Fassbender who looks just so cool when you see him and the brothers find themselves trapped on this farmland with this family who has been helping this vampire against their will.
It's just a really fun, entertaining Halloween set vampire movie.
A love letter to the horror genre, Blood Fest follows a young man obsessed with horror movies who goes to Blood Fest, which is essentially a festival that celebrates the genre. But when he gets there, he and the other guests realize that the host has some very dark plans in store for their evening.
The festival's attractions soon turn into real-life horror scenarios, leaving the guests fighting to survive. The characters find themselves caught in situations that feel like they've stepped straight into different horror movies.
This one doesn't take itself too seriously. It's very silly, over-the-top, and full of horror references. It feels very light and just perfect for Halloween. You can watch this one on Amazon Prime.
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is a sweet horror comedy from back in the day starring Don Knotts as a reporter who wants to desperately be taken seriously. He's sent to spend the night in an infamous haunted mansion in his town, hoping to prove himself. He encounters supernatural activity and nobody believes him.
Knotts is really great here with his physical comedy. He really sells it as this bumbling but lovable guy. Makes the character fun to watch, especially as he tries to make sense of the strange things happening around him.
The haunted mansion itself is so cozy. It feels like a classic haunted house where there's cobwebs everywhere, mysterious hidden staircases behind bookshelves, pianos that play by on their own, and blood dripping from paintings.
It just captures the essence of the holiday while not taking place on Halloween but, it's a classic haunted house story. You can stream this one on Amazon Prime.
From the director behind Inside, this French horror film follows a young caregiver who discovers that a woman in a comatose state has treasures in her home. She tells her boyfriend and her friend and they decide to break in to this lady's house to get her money.
But when they get inside they find themselves trapped and there's some interesting revelations.
Livid feels lighter than Inside, but it does have some brutal gory moments. There are scissors at play as well. If you have seen Inside, you know scissors are the weapon of choice there. There's also an appearance by a character from Inside, along with a surprising twist that I didn't see coming.
The story makes me think it inspired Abigail because of its same setup of people entering a house expecting one thing and end up facing something much more dangerous. If you're looking for something different this Halloween, highly recommend checking this one out. It's available to rent on YouTube.
I don't fully recommend Gravy, but after putting myself through this horror comedy, I feel like I should at least tell you about it. Directed by James Roday, best known for playing Shawn Spencer on Psych. This is a horror comedy about a group of masked bandits who take people hostage in a Mexican cantina.
They have an interesting plan for the evening, which is to eat the people inside that they have held captive.
This one the cast is stacked and I think that's the one thing this movie has going for it is its incredible cast. The humor is not funny at all and it's actually quite painful but there are a few moments that I was like, okay, I'll give it to you, but it just feels like an early 2000s horror movie with the comedy sense.
I think that it was okay, but it was very painful. If you are looking for something to throw on in the background while you're sorting through your candy, check this one out. It's on Tubi.
So there you have it. Those are some horror movies that you might have missed that you should definitely add to your spooky season watch list. Let me know what horror movies you've been watching this season, what shows you've been checking out, and what your plans are for Halloween.
Felissa Rose (SLEEPAWAY CAMP, VICTOR CROWLEY) runs out of candy on Halloween night in ArieScope's 28th annual Halloween short film. Another surprise horror icon plays the ghost.
