Halloween is nearly with us again and nothing makes a better Halloween than sitting around watching horror movies to scare you senseless. Here are 10 of the scariest Halloween horror movies to scare you silly this Halloween.
10 – Candyman
Helen Lyle is a student who decides to write a thesis about local legends and myths. She visits a part of the town, where she learns about the legend of the Candyman, a one-armed man who appears when you say his name five times, in front of a mirror. Of course, Helen doesn’t believe all this stuff, but the people of the area are really afraid. When she ignores their warnings and begins her investigation in the places that he is rumoured to appear, a series of horrible murders begins. Could the legend be true?
The scare and fright factor:- There are plenty of jumps in the first half of this movie although the second half seems to, for some bizarre reason, seem to concentrate more on the idea a man could be made out of bees.
The spooky factor:- Not really spooky although it is a little eerie whenever you see a character saying the name candyman to the mirror five times.
The Halloween factor:- Probably an ideal choice of Halloween movie to watchas a couple. The first half is enough to make you jump but the second half will possibly lose your interest. We’re guessing if you watch this as a couple you could possibly end up having to make your own entertainment.
The sexy factor:- Nothing really sexy about this movie unfortunately.

9 – Jeepers Creepers
A brother and sister travel cross country in their car to get back home. While travelling through a remote part of the countryside they pass by a rundown farm house and witness a strange looking man lifting, what appears to be human bodies wrapped in blood soaked sheets, from the back of his truck and throwing them down a hole. The biggest and last mistake they might ever make is going back to investigate what was really wrapped in those blood soaked sheets.
The scare and fright factor:- There is not so much the fright factor in this film although in the first few scenes from the movie there is plenty of suspense.
The spooky factor:- The opening scenes of Jeepers Creepers are kind of spooky. Not so much in a supernatural sense but when you see the bodies getting thrown in the hole there it certainly is spooky.
The Halloween factor:- The first half of this movie is genuinely quite good and the potential for a good horror movie certainly is there. If this is your choice of movie to watch on Halloween then it is probably a good choice to watch with your friends as the movie fails to take advantage of its original potential. By the second half you will be glad of the company of your friends.
The sexy factor:- None whatsoever.

8 – I Know What You Did Last Summer

That is until a faceless fisherman turns up one year later and leaves them the message that he knows what they did last summer. Oh, and he wants revenge.
The scare and fright factor:- Although this movie was riding on the success of the movie, scream, it offers plenty of jumps. Many of them been delivered through the ever growing suspense in the many scenes
The spooky factor:- Actually a little spookier than you would expect from your average slasher style horror movie. Don’t get us wrong it is not spooky in a supernatural sense but it does come across a little spooky knowing the killer could have come back from the dead.
The Halloween factor:- This movie would be a great Halloween horror movieto watch with your boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife. Most of the cast who star in this movie were youngsters at the time it was filmed so it has a definite teenage feel to the movie. Definitely a movie that is geared more towards younger audiences ranging from teenagers to those who are 20 something years old and a superb choice to watch on Halloween.
The sexy factor:- With this been a horror movie that is geared towards the younger audience you can bet there is plenty of sex appeal. Firstly for the ladies there is Freddie Prinze Jr (more famous for been married to Sarah Michelle Gellar than acting) and several scenes where we see Ryan Phillippe jumping around shirtless.
Then there is the eye candy for the men out there. We have Sarah Michelle Gellar and the big breasted Jennifer Love Hewitt, both of whom are more than happy to run around in low cut tight vest tops.

7 – Saw
With a dead body lying between them, two men wake up in the secure lair of a serial killer who’s been nicknamed “Jigsaw”. The men must follow various rules and objectives if they wish to survive and win the deadly game set for them.
The scare and fright factor:- Saw is not the type of horror movie that is designed to scare you or give you frights. Saw concentrates more on messing with your mind and the gore factor than anything else.
The spooky factor:- Like the fright factor this horror movie is not spooky. It does freak you as it plays with your mind but also concentrates on the gore fest.
The Halloween factor:- A good movie to watch with your friends. It will keep you guessing from start to finish.
The sexy factor:- When you have a movie that is concentrating on the gore factor it is going to be a big ask to make it sexy.

5 – 28 Days Later
28 days later is a very clever movie that throws a modern day feel to the zombie niche of horror movies. When animal rights activists accidentally release the rage virus in to the population it devastates and infects everyone. The only person to survive manages to do so as he is in a coma while the virus is in full swing. When he awakes in the abandoned hospital he initially believes that everyone in the country is dead. That is until he meets the infected.
The scare and fright factor:- 28 days later does not give many jumps but it does genuinely scare the viewer. The zombies in this zombie movie are anything but slow and docile.
The spooky factor:- Not really designed to spook. 28 days later works on the principle and idea that there is nowhere to run and nowhere that you will be safe.
The Halloween factor:- Not your traditional type of horror movie or zombie movie. It does a good job of combining moderate gore with fear and keeps you interested and on the edge of your seat all the way through. For a horror movie to watch on Halloween you certainly could do worse and this is certainly a horror movie that will keep you interested all the way through.
The sexy factor:- Like many zombie movies this one is no exception and is lacking on sex appeal. Hardly surprising when you consider most of the characters in this horror movie are spewing blood out of everywhere.

4 – Nightmare On Elm Street
In the dreams of his victims, a spectral child murderer stalks the children of the members of the lynch mob that killed him by setting fire to a building that he was sleeping in. If the victim happens to be cut or killed in their dream then they will be cut or killed in real life.
The scare and fright factor:- If you want a scary horror movie with plenty of frights and jumps then the original 1984 version of, A Nightmare on Elm Street could be just what you are after. There is a minor amount of gore in the movie but many of the scenes build up plenty of suspense before you get the big fright and end up jumping off the sofa.
The spooky factor:- Not as spooky as some movies but it does spook enough for many peoples liking. Just the idea that if you fall asleep you are falling into a world where the boundaries of reality do not exist and you can be killed by that very fact is spooky enough for us. Especially when there are scenes in which the characters are not sure they are a wake or asleep which adds to the jump factor as well as just the spook factor.
The Halloween factor:- A great movie to watch on your own on Halloween. Although the movie might seem a little dated by today’s standards it is still a good horror movie to watch on Halloween. It’s an even better movie to watch if you happen to be a couple and are looking for any excuse to not go to sleep. This movie might just scare you awake.
The sexy factor:- Not really what we at Two Sexy Geeks would call sexy although for the ladies this horror movie is actually the first movie that a certain Johnny Depp stared in.

The movie tells the story of Michael Myers. Michael, who killed his sister when only a child, escapes from the mental institute where he has been held since a child and returns to the town he once lived. This all happens on the night of Halloween.
Michael quickly resorts to his murderous ways.
The scare and fright factor:- Plenty of jumps throughout this horror movie and they are superbly built up with the repetitive background music.
The spooky factor:- This movie is not really spooky in the slightest. It follows the traditional slasher flick horror movie style and focuses on suspense and frights.
The Halloween factor:- Since the movie is called Halloween and is actually set on the night of Halloween this movie is a perfect choice to watch on Halloween.
The sexy factor:- Not the sexiest of movies on our top scariest and sexiest horror movies to watch on Halloween. It does however feature a young Jamie Lee Curtis which would be appealing if you are into the 1970’s flares type of things.

2 – Scream
A killer known as “ghost face” begins killing off teenagers, and as the body count begins rising, one girl and her friends find themselves contemplating the “Rules” of horror films as they find themselves living in a real-life one.
The scare and fright factor:- When this horror movie was made the genre of horror movies was pretty much dead and buried. When Kevin Williamson sat down and wrote the screenplay for scream he reinvented a genre. The movie puts a new twist on the old slasher flick style horror movie and you can be sure of several surprises which equals a fair amount of jumps.
The spooky factor:- If you are on the lookout for a spooky movie that has an eerie feel to it then, Scream is not the movie for you. It is more built around suspenseful build up to the frights you receive throughout the movie.
The Halloween factor:- A great easy going and easy to watch horror movie that would be ideal to watch on your own, with you significant other or friends on Halloween.
The sexy factor:- Not much for the ladies in this one but if you happen to be male then there is a certain degree of sexy to this horror movie. Drew Barrymore, Neve Campbell and a very young Courtney Cox run around during this horror movie.
