Hidden Gem Scary Movies that are Highly Underrated

This time of year, I get so excited about watching scary movies! My bonus daughter and I used to have the best scary movie nights together. But I totally forgot just how BAD The Exorcist is! And I was caught off guard by the nudity in Halloween—I think I only ever watched them on AMC, where they edit out all the rough stuff. Renting them on DVD was a whole different experience—surprise! All the pea soup, bad words, and nudity were still in there.

Let’s just say it was quite the education for her! Now that my younger daughter is old enough for PG-13 movies, I’m a bit skeptical about those classic 1980s films. I mean, Poltergeist has a PG rating, and I can't help but raise an eyebrow at that...

Anyway, I love discovering new (or even old) scary movies to add to my Halloween collection. So, I hopped onto Facebook and found a post in one of my Halloween groups. Someone was asking for "hidden gem scary movies that are highly underrated." Sounds like a fun rabbit hole to dive into! Here's what the crowd had to say.
