It's the best time of the year - Halloween! That means cozying up on the couch with a pile of treats and your favorite Halloween/horror/slightly-spooky movies and TV!
Looking for something new to add to your Halloween rotation? Maybe something old? Just not the same 5 movies that are always recommended? Whatever the case, we've got a list of 50+ movies and TV to watch this October. The sweetest part is, all of the titles are available free with your library card - and no ads to interrupt your fright fest!

Read the full list (with links directly to the titles!) on our blog post: "Spooky Viewings for Spooky Season: 50+ Things to Put on Your Watchlist this Halloween" - link in the comments.
