In theory, we’d love to get scared while watching a classic horror movie come fall. But in reality, deep down, some of us are still those same kids who requested to keep the lights on at our childhood slumber parties.

And yet, we're not destined to be left out of the Halloween horror movie craze altogether. Enter: the best non-scary horror movies.
