The Lady in White has been one of my favorite Halloween movies forever! When I was a kid I would watch it every year and now in my 40s I still love it!
Same here. There was nothing more terrifying to me than the thought of being locked in my school overnight when I was a child
I work with the elderly and I'm play this for our movie matinee Friday's, october 11, 2024. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm a big fan of 80's but the 90's be still my beating heart!
@@Josh-pf9qx How about The Never Ending Story, ever seen it? Locked...in the seller, built....on a graaaaaave yard..no, thanks from CasperSight but seriously goo d movie.
Mine too. Any time anybody ask my favorite scary movie I always say lady in white and most people have never heard of it.
yuppers....LADY IN WHITE is a great little movie capturing the excitement of years gone by innocence and fears.
I will always recommend "Lady in White". It's basically "A Christmas Story" as a horror film, especially given it ends around Christmas and has the main character narrating as an adult, as well as a healthy dose of Ray Bradbury with the depiction of small town childhood (I especially love the detail of "the city", implied to be NYC, visible on a clear day across the water). And yet, as you said, it does not shy away from the darker elements of the story, given it is about a serial killer of children, as well as a subplot of a wrongly accused suspect just because of who he is (hint, remember this is set in the 60s).
Lady in White is on Tubi
Such a stellar flick. Hands down my gateway movie to horror and one of the first scary movies I remember. Just love this movie.
Lady in White is so underrated, the acting, the atmosphere, the cinematography, just amazing. Perfect to watch while cozied up on a cool, breezy autumn night with the windows open and the lights dimmed way down.
Love this show
Did you ever see a dream walking? Well, I did 🎵
The Lady in White is a real gem. I've been a fan ever since catching it on cable back in '89 or so.
Beautifully written, directed, and acted, with a nice nostalgic feel that doesn't seem forced.
Great little movie.
Lady In White 👻 its nice to see someone finally talk about this film. I absolutely love this movie , it's not only nostalgic to me but very sentimental. Born in the early 80s, I grew up on horror films and this one especially was a favorite and I can't even tell you how many times I watched this movie. It's a murder mystery and ghost story , it has both Halloween and Christmas but I've always thought of it more of a Halloween film.
Always loved The Midnight Hour ❤
I’m so happy there are so many fans of The Midnight Hour. I watch it every year ❤❤❤
This is a very good list. My canonical Trick or Treat entertainment is "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."
That’s a great choice-that happens to be one of my favorite holiday television productions.
Fellow Halloween enthusiast here, just stumbled onto your channel. You do a great job man. Amazing attention to detail, and just all around feel good vibes 🎃
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Another AWESOME video!

I’ve made watching The Midnight Hour a Halloween tradition. There is a lot of nostalgia there. I think the town it self is one of the best characters. Before big box retailers, smaller Main Street stores really got in the spirit.
Very true.
It's not really a Halloween movie but the Halloween sequence in MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS is my favorite.
I think about that a lot too. I actually grew up on that movie because my dad loves it!
I have always found the Halloween sequence of Meet Me in St. Louis to be nostalgic/scary/funny and have the most Halloweeny atmosphere of any movie, ever.
@@carlosyamara That's one reason I love it. Most Halloween sequences in movies seem to be from an outside perspective, sort of like the parent put in charge of chaperoning all the trick-or-treaters. In this one you seem to be seeing everything through the eyes of little Margaret O'Brien and even though you know she isn't in any real danger, that makes it feel genuinely scary.
Good to know-“Meet Me in St. Louis” is a poignant,heartbreaking,winsome sort of movie.
You picked the very best collection of movies I ever could have expected !
Ooh Haunt is such a great pick for a Halloween haunted house movie. Definitely underseen even though it's excellent.
The Lady In White is my absolute favorite! It’s so well done!! And underrated…
Just watched The Midnight Hour on TH-cam last week. Hadn't seen it since I was a kid. Still suprised how good it was. Great soundtrack too.
Hauntedween is a gem imo its very 80's the hairstyles are spot on.
I'm about the age of the lead kid in Lady in White. Saw It when it was new, loved it, watched it numerous times. Rewatched It recently and had totally forgotten about the subplot with the black janitor. It was a bold statement, and more the type of thing you'd expect to see in a 21st-century movie than an 80s flick.
Some of these I haven't heard of before, so I always enjoy seeing new things to check out. Great list and great video. Keep up the great job 🎃👻
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
Man, I’ve grown up watching horror, and you’ve listed ones I’ve never seen AND never heard of. I didn’t think that was possible. 😂 I just subscribed … great video! 😄👍🎃
If you're speaking of The Midnight Hour, it's great. I'm old enough to have seen it when it originally air, but only caught it later on VHS.
When I was a kid in England they didn't sell pumpkins so we carved turnips and did penny for the lantern 🎃🏮
Great picks 😊💜🐾👍👋
a couple of American movies that are totally underseen: 1- The Devil's Rain 2- The Horror of Dunwich
your playlists are amazing thanks much.
Another GREAT episode, you're killing it!! Love your curated film choices and your critiques, too, thank you, brother!!
Dude every year I look up Halloween movie lists on TH-cam and it’s countless of the same things and some hidden gems. But ever since I found ur channel this year ur lists have AMAZING Halloween vibe movies. The oldeer moves have my favorite type of Halloween charm but the modern ones u share are actually very entertaining
Happy Halloween my dark friend 🎃🎃💀☠️👀👀😈😈, I just bought the lady in white...absolute classic 💯
That’s usually not an easy one to find on physical media, so well done!
I saw that as a young teen when it came out and fell in love with it. Very atmospheric.
When Frankie hears (avoiding spoilers) that song being whistled...eerie.
I looked for The Midnight Hour FOR YEARS after seeing it as a kid in the 80's. When I finally found it on You Tube last year I was overjoyed.
Good Morning from Pueblo Colorado Daniel!! Great video as always my friend!
You are a trooper for watching The Curse of Bridge Hollow more than once.
So happy to see the inclusion of Dark Harvest here. Such an overlooked and underrated movie!
Really cool content, Daniel! I came across your channel only a few weeks ago and became an instant fan. Thank you for sharing your views and optimism with us and keep up the great work!
Yaaaaay! New Cobwebs video and halloween themed! Hoping for movies i have not heard of to add to my collection!
That was LEE MONTGOMERY not PETER DELUISE. He was a child actor that went by Lee H. Montgomery for a while. Sorry to correct you.
Oh shoot, you’re absolutely right! DeLuise was the other guy, and I got them mixed up. Unfortunate.
Yep. Peter DeLuise was Mitch. Also the son of Dom DeLuise. This movie seemed to star everybody's sister, brother or son. Lol
Lee Montgomery was the kid in Burnt Offerings and is the younger brother of Belinda Montgomery who played Doogie Housers mother.
Also Macaulay Caulkin is an uncredited trick or treater
@@furbysmith3240 I'll watch out for him when I watch it!
Cheesy, 80's slasher fan ✋. Will definitely check out Hauntedween + I remember seeing The Midnight Hour on tv;back in '85.... cool flick & Dede Pfeiffer😍;I'll have to rewatch that one on Utube! Thanks, Daniel for the watchlist.
Happy Halloween,greetings from Greece!!!Great video as always man!!!!
I saw Midnight Hour as a kid. It's still a holliday classic for me today! Happy Halloween bro
Hell yeah, Lady in White is so underrated! Such spooky, emotional, nostalgic journey!
So glad I found your channel! This list is amazing and I’ve only ever seen Lady in White so I’m looking forward to checking out the others this month. Hopefully some of these are pg-13 so I can watch them with my kids!
I love Dark Harvest. Is such a Halloween movie! So underrated. The sheriff’s acting is a bit much, but the main characters are great.
Curse of Bridge Hollow is a lot of fun. I thought I was alone in liking that movie.
I had fond memories of Lady In White when I was a kid. As an adult I have started rewatching a lot of the movies I did growing up and it took me years to find it in physical media. Wow it did not age well. Blows me away what you don’t pick up on or easily forget as a kid.
How didn't it age well?
Fantastic list! I’m so excited to find new “Halloween” movies. I really loved 10/31. Part 2 is pretty good also. I really appreciate your channel.
I threw "The Curse of Bridge Hollow" on in the background after watching this video and I definitely got reeled in as well. It reminded me of classic DCOM vibes. Spooky, charming, and cheesy in all the right ways. I appreciate you showing love to these types of movies!
You give the best suggestions ever. Never heard of these but they look good to watch. Thank you.
FINAAAALLLLLY!!!!! Someone FINALLY said THE MIDNIGHT HOUR, the best goddamn Halloween horror movie ever made!
Great list man! Might be checking out a few of these this month. Hauntedween sounds cool and being from Kentucky, gotta support my local horror.
Thanks Ken! You probably already know, but it’s included on Vinegar Syndrome’s Homegrown Horrors vol 3 box. I need to get it, myself.
@@cobwebschannel Actually now that you mention it, I do remember a KY film being on one of their boxsets. I’ll probably watch on Tubi and maybe pick up later. Thanks!
@@cobwebschannellook into Sleepy hollow high came out in 2000 I always loved it and its very unknown
Fellow Kentuckian! It’s actually extremely surprising how many of the YTers I watch are from KY, too.
Lady In white scared me as a kid. I forgot about it but always remembered a movie with a kid trapped in a closet and it was this movie!
I always kick off the Halloween season with The Midnight Hour
Fun fact: my grandmother was born and raised in the house from Haunted-Ween. Most of the interior shots were filmed in a studio, but the external shots and a few internal (near the front entrance and stairway) were all at her childhood home.
Fantastic video, Daniel. Where do you get the energy and the time, lol love the Halloween vibes!! 😊
I'm dead, you're dying. Everybody should try it, get dead!
Once you break the rigor mortis out of the joints you can even dance. 😊
New subscriber and Halloween nut. Keep up the great work. 🎃👍
I remember watching Satan's Little Helper with my friend as a kid when Netflix first started their streaming service. 😂 Because of that movie we always say "Don't let Jesus in the house!!" IYKYK... I miss the days of Netflix only having low budget or not very well known horror movies! We saw a lot of hidden gems back then.
Thank you for the suggestions. Since I saw three of the movies mentioned and felt your reviews hit the mark, I will search for the others.
What a great list! The seasonal lists like this are my favorite!
This is an excellent list. I'm looking forward to watching these.
A+ video!
LOVE IT! Very intriguing Halloween recommendations!
October through December is my favorite time of the year. As far as I am concerned the holiday season starts on October 1st and lasts through January 1st of the next year. It includes Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and all of the other December holidays, ending with New Year's Day. October is my favorite month, followed by December and November in that order.
I celebrate Halloween from July 31st to Nov. 3rd and then get depressed when its over. How about celebrating it halfway throught the year on april 30?
@@kathymckenna1778 Hello. I don't understand why some people say that April 30th is halfway to Halloween. Since Halloween is on October 31st, which is the last day of the tenth month of the year, I consider June 1st to be halfway to Halloween.
I've been a huge fan of The Midnight Hour since it aired on ABC. Around 2001, I insisted my friend had to see it, so we went out that night searching for it at several stores. I finally found the red clamshell VHS. I still have it in perfect condition. There was a DVD release in, I believe, Spain. It's pretty hard to find, but there is an HD version here on TH-cam as well as the broadcast version(which is pretty cool for me, nostalgia wise). I also love Satan's Little Helper. I bought that as soon as Synapse released it. There are a couple of movies on your list that I haven't seen. I'm definitely checking them out. Great video!
Finally!! You are addressing this awesome 1985 made for tv movie
Everyone overlooks "when good ghouls go bad." Its silly and campy, but very nostalgic for me. I used to watch it a lot as a kid. Plus, it has Christopher Lloyd in it.
The Midnight Hour is such a great Halloween movie. I’ve watched it for years.
LADY IN WHITE!!!! That movie was my childhood! I didn't realize how dark it was until I got older. It has mature subject matter, but it's implied more than explicit. You get the vibe that terrible things happened when you watch it as a kid but you don't fully realize until you're older
Thanks you so much for this list! Truly some brand new recommendations that I couldn't get anywhere else! I didn't know about any of them except Lady in White, which was a staple in my household every Halloween and one of my mom's favorites because she was Sicilian and the movie captures authentically the feel of a Sicilian household. But after seeing it as an adult, I totally agree that it is much darker than I expected. No wonder I didn't completely understand it as a kid!
I have to say, I loved Curse of Bridge Hollow! I was hooked when I saw that Priah Ferguson (our queen Erica from Stranger Things) was in it.
Also, the "Homie don't play that" reference made me shriek with joy. I'm old. I love it. 😂
I highly recommend Cobweb ('23), which I found out about on this channel. Halloween plays a part in the plot, and it's pretty friggin scary. The WNUF movie is tons of fun as well, but I would recommend Ghostwatch ('92) above it. Similar premise, but I found Ghostwatch more entertaining. Thanks for the list, Daniel! 10/10 fricheks
I agree on all counts!
@@cobwebschannelcheck put sleepy hollow high in case tou haven't seen it it was one of my favorites as a kid and no one knows it
I've loved The Lady in White since I was a kid lol, probably 8ish years old. It's definitely underrated. But watching what I did in the late 80s early 90s as a child probably birthed my love for horror.
Great list! The Midnight Hour and The Lady in White are two of my favorites.
Love your list! All of these are so good! May I suggest another one called TRICK. It’s so good! It’s got a lot of kills and it’s so in the season🎃
Also the Spirit of Halloween is a super fun one with kids in it🍂🍁
I really love Trick!
@@berniceeast7389 I really do too Bernice! It’s a fun, spooky setting and it’s actually creepy. The acting is pretty good and it has a feel about it. There are so many that are not main features that actually have those vibes. Even if the film quality isn’t top notch. They are still fun to watch☺️🎃
So glad someone finally mentioned Lady in White.
been waitig for someone to shout out THE MDNIGHT HOUR!
Macaulay Culkin played a trick or treater in Midnight Hour. I still own a vhs copy of this film. Let's face it, it's never getting a blu-ray release, but I am super happy to see more people talk about this film.
The Curse of Bridge Hollow is an awesomely fun movie.
I was not prepared for lady in white. I was expecting campy horror and it had my blood pumping!
Lady in White is such a good a good film, I remember it well, has a great autumnal feel.
I would add HUSK to the list. It creates a whole new world involving curses, possessed scarecrows and…sewing. I really enjoyed it quite a bit. Good atmosphere and good acting and wonderful cinematography
The Midnight Hour is my favorite Halloween movie! I watch it every year! Luckily I own it on VHS. I remember watching it on tv when I was in middle school.
Caught Flesheater recently and I loved it! Definitely gonna become a staple for this time of year moving forward!
One Netflix horror- and or dark fantasy movie I really enjoyed was Nightbooks. I felt that it really captured the Halloween-Vibe while being an overall imaginative and stylish movie. It seems to me that it is quite underappreciated though and to me it's one of the best things that Netflix has ever done.
Hi Daniel! Haunt was a creepy movie. You could almost imagine something like this actually happening. Also, Katheryn Winnick is sooo pretty. Same actress from the Vikings tv show right?
Good list definitely gonna check out what I haven’t seen.
Lady in White FREAKED me out as a kid☠️🎃🫣
Lady in White is iconic! I also consider it a Christmas movie!
Love all your Halloween movies , houses October built hellfest and hauntreleasr a new fear to viewers, how safe are haunted houses
Hi, Daniel! I watched Dark Harvest last year and enjoyed it very much! Folks should out for the end twist 😱
I also just watched Hauntedween on your recommendation on another vid and it was a hoot! Keep up the good work!
"Haunt" has a really good cover of "Dragula" that plays over the credits.
Haunt is soooo good it’s insane
There is a Halloween Special I remember from a long time ago about a group of kids who thought that old woman was a witch but they found out it's a misunderstanding.
Your decor looks great! The Midnight Hour is one of my Halloween favourites...I taped it when it was first on tv, and then found it on TH-cam. I think that I watched the WNUF Halloween special on TH-cam, and what a hoot! I think that I can catch it on Amazon Prime. And I just put The Lady in White on mt Amazon wish list.
"Haunt" is really really good.
I like that you include such random movies... haven't heard of most of these! So fun! Can you do a vintage scary movie list? There are so many good ones!! I remember watching something about a Cat Woman from the 1950s... super bizarre lol yet fun for Halloween. Edit: It is called Cat People from 1942.
The Midnight Hour is my family's favorite Halloween movie of all time!!! I remember when it first debuted and watching it at... Midnight lol. Was on a couple of more years then gone. I was able to find a copy a few years back, but now i just watch on YT. 🎃🎃🎃🎃
"House of the wolf man" is a B&W tongue in cheek homage to the Universal Monsters. Most seem to mistake the parody for bad acting/dialogue. It stars Lon Chaney Jr's son. I might not recommend this but for the awesome final act which is really cool and unexpected. You can watch this on YT, but it's worth viewing it on HD for the full glory of said last act.
I love Flesheater! I show this one to a lot of my friends whenever I can!
Trick (2019). Not many people rate it, but it's a good twist on the indestructible killer trope. I like it a lot.
There are 2 movies out there called "The Barn" and "The Barn 2", which are low budget, they were put together by the same actors, and it features Ari Lehman (drowned boy Jason Vorhees) as Dr. Rock... They are both setup in Halloween and even though they are low budget and cheesy, they are really good and definitely worth watching them back-to-back this season.
Just watched "The Midnight Hour" on your recommendation, with my wife, and we both loved it...EXACTLY what we were looking for! The ending was definitely not what we expected. I NEED to see Hauntedween, if I can find it (especially since I went to college on the Kentucky border).
Concerning " The Midnight Hour " and troubles with a release is probably music related. Music clearance for home video can really be tricky. Theatrical and Television right were always cleared. They couldn't even conceive of this phenomenon called home video coming along. On a non Horror note, It took MCA/Universal forever to clear the Hope-Crosby " Road " films. They had to clear songs with the writers, or the relatives of the writers, the estate of the writers if they have passed. " Happy Days " on home video ran into the same problems. WKRP in Cincinnati was a clearance nightmare. I remember " The Midnight Hour " during it's original broadcast. Shari Belafonte...so young.
Great video!
I seen The Lady in White when I was a kid, I remember really liking it.
