It’s Halloween and you want to watch something fun, spooky, and maybe gory, but all you can find advertised everywhere are the tried and true movies of the season. I’m talking Halloween, Scream, Nightmare On Elm Street, and all we love, but you’re feeling adventurous! There’s nothing wrong with the classics, but I promise it’s okay to switch it up. If you’re looking for something different to celebrate your favorite holiday with, check out these 4 underrated horror movies. 

Tales Of Halloween (2015)

Tales Of Halloween is an anthology film set on Halloween. What’s cool about these ten stories is that they all weave together in the same boring, suburban neighborhood. In this underrated film, you’ll find ghouls, monsters, aliens, axe murderers, and even the Devil himself. It’s the perfect film to watch while carving pumpkins and sipping your favorite themed drink. Tales Of Halloween is streaming on Prime Video and Tubi. 

Idle Hands (1999)

Despite its cult following, Idle Hands often falls under the radar and out of people’s thoughts. Idle Hands follows a slacker teenager played by Devon Sawa whose right hand becomes possessed by a demon. He may be a pretty chill guy, but his possessed hand is most certainly not. Idle Hands is streaming on Prime Video. 

Vampires Vs. The Bronx (2020)

Vampires Vs. The Bronx is cute for anyone who’s looking for a lighter Halloween watch. A group of friends in the Bronx discover that there’s a group of vampires in town and they’re looking to destroy the place they call home. Since they love their neighborhood so much, they decide it’s up to them to come together and find a way to stop the vampires. This film has such a fun 1980s feel even though it’s set in the present day. Vampires Vs. The Bronx is streaming on Netflix. 

Murder Party (2007)

If you saw a flier for a murder party on the ground, would your curiosity get the best of you? Or would you use common sense and decide it’s not a good idea? In Murder Party, a lonely man finds an invite to a murder party and decides it is in his best interest to go. Unfortunately for him though, he is the guest of honor and all the invitees are there to murder him. Go figure! Murder Party is super gory but also super funny in many parts. Murder Party is streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
