Ready to get your scare in! Everyone likes a good scare on Halloween. Here we have put together our top 10 list of the best scary Lifetime movies for your freaky entertainment come Halloween.
1. The Toyman Killer
Maybe not the scariest movie you will have seen than it was, but it’s basically a collection of horror movie cliches and homages, which is perfect if you’re looking for some mindless Halloween viewing.
2. In the Dark
This movie involves a man creeping on a blind woman who he’s been hired to assist. If you want a legit “blind lady being terrorized” movie, watch Wait Until Dark. If you want hilariousness, watch this. It’s still one of my favorite Lifetime movies ever.
3. Big Driver
Looking for a movie that is legitimately disturbing? if you choose this one don’t go into it thinking you’re going to have a laugh. It involves a graphic rape scene and some very bloody violence. Proceed with caution.
4. Lizzie Borden Took an Ax
Who wouldn’t love watching Christina Ricci be murderous for two hours? No one, that’s who.
5. Left to Die
Ever had a fear of being wrongly imprisoned in a foreign country? Warning, this movie will probably give you nightmares.
6. Last Hours in Suburbia
Looking for a movie that is more spooky than scary? Enter ghost. She’s a really snarky ghost too, which is a huge plus for us.
7. Flowers in the Attic
This is actually a scary movie featuring incest, the crazy grandma, the crazy mom, the terrible wig Kiernan Shipka wears when her hair is cut.
8. Death Clique
In addition to featuring a surprisingly unsettling murder scene, this movie also includes teenagers being awful. Double the scares!
9. Starving in Suburbia
The story of a girl struggling with an eating disorder depicted like a deleted scene from The Ring.
10. Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret
This movie, mostly cheesy, tells the true story of convicted murderer Jodi Arias. The climactic murder scene actually made me nauseous when I watched it.
Summing-Up
It’s almost Halloween, and scary/spooky/fall-themed movies abound. If you’ve exhausted every horror movie and Hocus Pocus airing available to you, it might be time to start looking in more unexpected places. Like, for example, Lifetime. To help you out, I went through my many, many reviews of movies on the network and picked some of the choices I thought were most fitting for the Halloween season.
Keep in mind that I use the word “scary” very lightly here, so don’t expect to be on the edge of your seat and covering your eyes for all of these movies. But if you’re in the mood for some mild suspense, predictable twists, cheesy dialogue and the occasional bloody murder, I’ve got you covered. If you don’t have the time or the interest to watch the full movie, just click on the title to read my review.
