Halloween has always held a special place in my heart — it’s my favorite season, and I was lucky enough to be born right in the middle of all the spooky fun (maybe that’s why I love it so much). But nothing sets the mood for the season quite like a perfect Halloween movie night.
While many associate the horror genre with mere jump scares and gore, I believe it deserves far more love and recognition. Horror is very much capable of exploring deeper themes that you might not otherwise expect — delving into our deepest fears and even serving as a mirror to society. Sadly, this depth often gets overshadowed by the genre’s reputation as purely “scary.”
