31 Days of Halloween: Day #17 – Movies That Will Have You Sleeping With The Light On

Hello, friends, and welcome to the 31 Days of Halloween!

Halloween Quote
“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.” — Edgar Allan Poe, “A Dream Within a Dream”

It’s Day 17 of the series, and I can’t believe how fast my favorite month is flying by 🦇. It seems like it was just October 4th, and it’s gone.  I want it to slow down. (LOL) For my 2024 series, I’ve focused each week on something different, and this week is all about Halloween movies.  Today, I’m sharing some movies that will have you sleeping with the lights on.

I’m not a hardcore Horron fan, but I love scary movies. Some even make me rethink why the hell I’m watching them. I don’t do body horror or torture (e.g., Human Centipede, Saw, Hostel), but I do like to be scared to a degree. These movies had me going, “WTF did I just watch?” And…maybe I’ll look at Gilmore Girls for a while. LOL So here is my shortlist.
