Yes! We’re doing it again! We are putting Halloween into a part of the year it doesn’t usually go! Why? Because it’s fun and we can!

The end of April and the start of May is the halfway point to Halloween. For Halfway to Halloween, or Halfoween, fans are happy to mark the occasion as we start counting down the last six months of the year to the big day. Kinda like Christmas in July, but awesome! Horror-centric vehicles like Shudder spend all of April celebrating the halfway mark. Some places even have events to give everyone an early taste of scary season.

Get some hot cocoa, get comfy in a dark room, and put on your brave face!

Below is a list of horror movies for those who are feeling a bit fearless; the recommendations range from found footage to paranormal films to slashers. What do you find scary? Killer clowns? Demonic possessions? Vampires? Scroll down to unravel what just might be your next fear, if you don’t already have one!
