A list of 38 movies that take place on Halloween or have a Halloween scene. I created two movie lists like this before in 2018 and 2019 that mostly contained the same movies in both lists. For this year's list I tried to include movies that a) are not on those last two lists and b) are streaming free with ads online.
There are a few good ones but most of these movies are definitely not the next Halloween (1978) or Trick 'r Treat (2007), many are low budget films with terrible acting, cheap effects & makeup, bad storylines and may be unwatchable to general audiences. You've been warned. Some days have double/quadrilogy movies that are sequels or prequels. Here's the list:
