Sleepy Hollow (1999)
On the Halloween movies list because:
There's hardly a better fit for a creepy night in than director Tim Burton, and his take on the Washington Irving short story is ghoulish, intriguing fun.
Critics say:
"Gorgeous filmmaking that brims over with fun-house thrills and ravishing romance... Heads roll, bodies pile up, and the horseman
—
played in flashback by a megaweird Christopher Walken
—
rises from the dead."

Peter Travers,

Halloween (1978)On the Halloween movies list because: Halloween all but invented an entire subgenre of slasher horror movies, those that take place on All Hallows' Eve.
Critics say
: "There isn't another post-1970 release that comes close to it in terms of scaring the living hell out of a viewer."—James Berardinelli, Reelviews Slide5
Paranormal Activity (2007)
On our Halloween movies list because:
Something of a modern classic, this shocking feature plays on a culture saturated with reality television and near omnipresent surveillance.
Critics say:
"It comes by its screams honestly, earning them with incremental, at times agonizing gradations of old-fashioned, what's-that-noise-in-the-hallway suspense."—Dana Stevens,
SlateSlide6
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) On our Halloween movies list because
: More slaughterhouse than haunted house, this classic still chills.
Critics say
: "[A] sneaky equation of middle-class values with cannibalism and wholesale slaughter."—Dave Kehr,
Chicago ReaderSlide7
Panic Room (2002)
On
our Halloween movies list because
: This harrowing home invasion movie is a realistic nail-biter totally devoid of ghouls or the supernatural, making it a choice pick for those who know they'll be triple-checking their locks when the movie's done.
Critics say
: "It could be an especially grisly, profanity-laced entry in the
Home Alone
' series. And, it must be said, an exceptionally well-directed one."—A.O. Scott,
The New York TimesSlide8
Evil Dead (2013)
On
our Halloween movies list because:
This new update to the
1981 original
eschews some of the camp and piles on the gory scares, making it a decidedly creepier pick for the holiday.
Critics say:
"The gore is considerable (though often imaginative) and Alvarez's decision to forego CGI effects pays grisly dividends. That may not be a genuine tongue being slashed in half lengthwise (while still, it should be noted, in its owner's mouth) but damned if it doesn't look like one."—Christopher Orr,
