There’s only one Friday the 13th in all of 2016 and it’s today. For you superstitious types, that means that one year’s worth of bad luck is going to fall today.

For those that aren’t superstitious, tonight would be great night to watch horror movies. Here’s a few of my favorites. If you can’t tell from the list, I don’t watch a lot of horror. I hate slasher films, and if it doesn’t have a decent plot, I’m gone. Plus I don’t like being scared that often. I have to be in a very specific mood for scary movies. None of the classics are on here because I have no appreciation for the genre. Sorry.

Tucker and Dale VS Evil

It’s scary AND funny. Watch it, you won’t regret it.

The Ring

I remember watching this one with a friend in high school. We even watched the extra feature, which was the video that’s supposed to kill you. Seconds after the screen went blank, my fricken phone rang! We screamed and hid behind the couch.

Identity

I watched this one with my husband back on one of our first dates. I know the concept isn’t that original, but it was the first like it I’d seen, so it’s in my top five.

 

Zombieland

I don’t even know if this counts as horror, but I really love this movie.

 

Paranormal Activity

Pick one. They’re scary as all get out.

As for tonight, I’ve heard good things about the Babadook. What are you planning to watch tonight? Got any great movies to add to the list?
