Chances are you got all of your partying out of the way this last weekend and you have to work tomorrow morning, which kind of puts a damper on the spookiest night of the year. But don’t despair! If passing out candy to all the ghouls who arrive at your doorstep isn’t fulfilling your haunted night needs, we’ve got the ultimate back-up plan. We polled the office and put together a list of top ten movies that give us the creeps, ensure we sleep with the lights on and never ever go downstairs to do laundry alone again. In no particular horrifying order:

Suspiria (1977). 

Stephen King’s It (1990).

Paranormal Activity (2007).

Halloween (1978). 

Rosemary’s Baby (1968).

The Shining (1980). 

28 Days Later  (2002).

The Exorcist (1973).

The Descent (2005). 

Ju-On (2002).
