My wife has been trying to watch one Halloween movie per a night in October. While we've done one most nights, we have missed some.

In any case, while I am not much of a horror movie person, I have enjoyed The Conjuring movies.

The original Conjuring is so great. My better half HATES horror movies. I tried making him watching that and he lasted maybe 25 minutes. When the daughter starts beating her head against the dresser he was like 'nope. i'm done. turn it off'.

To this day, the movie that scared me the most was not a traditional horror movie. My scariest movie was Jaws. When that head popped through the hole in the bottom of the sunken boat, I about crapped my pants.

I don't like traditional horror movies. They just don't do it for me and I avoid them.

Anyone ever seen, "the Funhouse"? Early 80s movie. I believe Ames Iowa was mentioned or referenced in the movie.

what are your favorite horror/scary movies? 45 years later I still think The Exorcist is the scariest movie ever made. Still love the original Halloween as well. And Psycho.

Some recent (past couple decades) if you haven't seen them:

High Tension
Hush
The Descent (scared the CRAP out of me)
Green Room
Bone Tomahawk

Bone Tomahawk comes out of nowhere with the horror. The first 2/3 is just sort of a straight, gritty Western, and then "Zang!!!"

I thought that movie was a top 5 horror movie ever made until the last ten minutes. Ruined it for me.

Oh man, that last 10 minutes made the movie for me. I listened to a movie podcast lately talking about it, made me appreciate the movie even more, it's packed full of stuff I missed.

Hereditary. Stuck with me way longer than any other horror movie, in a deeply unsettling way. Also has two of the most horrifying images I've ever seen in a movie (if you've seen it, you know the ones I'm talking about)

Toni Collette in the attic at the end of that movie is I think the most unsettling thing I've seen in a movie.

Along similar lines, Midsommer was done by the same director and is also pretty messed up.

More traditionally, I always watch the original Halloween, Poltergeist, and Night of the Living Dead around Halloween.
