It’s 2020 and the world got really weird and scary this year. Many of us still want to celebrate Halloween in safe ways and what better way to enjoy the season than to host an Outdoor Horror movie night. A movie night outdoors is a covid-friendly way to get together and be scared with your friends.
I watched a documentary last night called Why Horror, which investigated why we choose to subject ourselves to horror movies. I’ve been thinking about this for many years in an effort to understand my own affinity to horror movies and to Halloween in general.
Each year we have a movie night every weekend in October leading up to our Halloween party. This helps to get everyone in the proper spirit for this holiday. It also allows people to meet each other before the party; this will help with social interactions at the main event. We keep the movie nights casual and we never really know how many people will arrive. We always show two movies each evening.
Do you suffer from Friggatriskaidekaphobia? Well, I don’t have a fear of Friday the 13th or the number 13 in general, but it is a common superstition. Here are 13 movies for your Friday 13th celebration.
