Yes, I’m doing it again. Watching a bunch of scary movies, making myself twitchy, and writing about the whole damn thing for 31 days straight.
This year I’ve decided to go with the theme of the Haunted House. Well, mostly that. I’ll watch some good old scary ghost movies too. I’ve got my list, I’m satisfied with about half of the movies, and you guys should totally help me pick out the rest.
So hey, I made a poll! Vote for the movies you think I should watch. Or the ones you want to see me write about. Or the ones you just straight up love. Vote for as many as you like although it would probably be less helpful if you vote for ALL of them.
The movies with the most votes will finish off my list. I’m look for the top 5-10 of them.
If there’s a movie you think I’m missing, feel free to add it. I’ve left off some obvious choices like The Shining and Poltergeist because I watched those last year. No repeats. I’ve also left off some other ones that might feel like obvious choices because I’ve already got them on my list. But I do want there to be some surprises so I’m not telling you what those are.
I’m mostly looking for Haunted House type movies but really I’ll consider suggestions for anything with ghosts. I’m on the fence about things like Evil Dead II which isn’t really about ghosts, but it comes up on so many Haunted House movie lists I might still include it. We’ll see!
And there you go. What scary movies should I watch?

Consider this a vote AGAINST 1408.

And I’m voting against High Spirits. If you want to watch a GOOD ghostly comedy set in a haunted castle, check out the German film ‘Das Spukschloß im Spessart (1960)’, which is at least a million times better!
I can get you a translated copy if you want it.

That looks like a musical Disney Haunted Mansion thing? I’d never even heard of it! I’d watch it.
