To celebrate my favorite holiday “HALLOWEEN” I thought I would make a quick list of my favorite scary movies.
The following movies are my go-to scares. And now that I look at my list I notice that the majority of my favorites are from the 1980’s; my absolute favorite decade for movies, television shows and music.
These aren’t in any particular order but here goes . . . my all-time favorite scary movies.

1974 - Texas Chainsaw Massacre
~ There is nothing that frightens me more than a huge creepy guy that screams, hollers and runs around like a little child. Oh, yeah, and wielding a chainsaw.
My husband and I attend a lot of horror conventions and have had the pleasure of meeting many actors and actresses from the above movies. What an amazing way for us to relive our childhood together. I hope you enjoyed my movie list.
Happy Halloween to you all! Be safe out there!
