Were these horror movies actually released around Halloween?

They're all spooky, but were they released in Spooky Season?

 

Spooky season is here! Many of us are preparing for Halloween by grabbing a pumpkin spice latte, hanging spooky decorations and skeletons, and building the perfect costume. However, nothing screams Halloween like a good horror movie marathon.

Spooky season is obviously full of surprises, and here's one of them: As much as these horror flicks are synonymous with October, many came out in the summer, in the new year, or even around Christmas. 

Were these horror movies actually released around Halloween? Good luck, and tell us your favorite horror movie to watch around Halloween in the comments below.

12/15 I saw 1,2,4,7,9, and 12 when they were first released. Was only 14 when I got in to watch The Exorcist. I think the pea soup grossed me out more than anything else.

Come one come all to the MeTv Friday Night Movie Quiz.
Where everyone can take a guess or make comments to other quizzers.
There will be extra bonus movies for just coming by. Including entertainment for all. Feel free to ask questions, copy movie links and just plain join in the fun via communication. The MQ will be up until the movie is guessed and an hour to look over and pick out what you wish. Have fun doing so. There are no wrong answers but the first one to guess the correct movie gets their names put up for getting it correctly. See you @ https://www.metv.com/quiz/tiny-terror-poll-choose-your-favorite-killer-doll
9 P.M. Sharp (Friday) CT. Stop by .
Good luck and enjoy and check out the early Bird vids for quizzers
Note: The movie site Internet Archive was Hacked just two days ago. The site is down until is back and running. It could be a couple more days before one can play their MQ flicks. I will send the links for tonight's movies when it is back and running

Just watched all the clips except for WML. I’m saving it for later. The light display was amazing. FredFlix was good with all its cigarette ads. 🚬 I enjoyed the trailers. The steak scene in Liberty Vallance is a classic! It has been many years since I watched Scream. I noticed you had posted a WML with Vincent Price. I am going to watch it next!

Oh, I really liked Misery! Can you believe it? Lol…Kathy Bates is amazing 🤩 Speaking of her, have you watched the new MATLOCK on CBS? It’s soooo good 👏
texasluva 1 month ago
Yes Misery I believe I had it on months ago. Right now you will not be able to play them until IA site comes back on. It was hacked by DDOS attacked a week ago. Part of it is working but the section where I have 3000 movies is not up yet. Maybe a few more days. It is on X under Internet Archive. Some Sudanese for the cause of Palestine took credit for this. The IA site has nothing to do with Israel or part of the USA government. 31 million from around the world use the site. It is just BS for doing this since it changes nothing whatsoever. No I did not know that a new Matlock and have not seen it. Maybe I will check it out. I will let everyone know when the links will be good again. Also send you the links for tonight's movies when it is back running. The site has 860+ billion web pages on most anything you can think of.

Tonight's movie Total Recall is a special edition. With Arnold Schwarzenegger. Better sound and vid quality. All these flicks should be enjoyable watching.
