Halloween in 2020 will be looking a lot different this year. One tradition people can still count on can be the scary movies that have everyone screaming and shivering in their seats.
Number one on the list, the movie Us. Us came out in 2019, produced by Jordan Peele and Jason Blum. Us received 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and has been a fan favorite.

Next on the list, the movie It. As many people know, It stars a clown that goes by the name of Pennywise. The horror film came out in 2017, which happened to be based on the book written by a famous author, Stephen King. The movie follows seven outcasts who cross paths with a killer clown.

Let’s talk about Halloween. Halloween came out in 1978 as the first in the franchise of 13 movies. Jamie Lee Curtis plays a young girl named Laurie, the victim in the movies. Both Curtis and Laurie age over time throughout the franchise which continues in Halloween 2. It all starts when a young man named Michael kills his sister Judith, which results in him getting committed to a mental facility. But when Michael gets out, he comes back to kill even more innocent people, not expecting someone like Laurie to fight back. Halloween can be watched with a premium subscription on Amazon, Sling TV, and FuboTV.
And last but not least, we have Jigsaw. Jigsaw has a lot of gore and blood, so beware; the graphics appear pretty realistic. Jigsaw reboots the Saw franchise, with a new killer who wants revenge on people who have committed terrible acts but have not been punished for the crime. Five random strangers trapped in a warehouse have to learn how to survive. Who will live? Who will die? They decide. Some secrets stay buried, but if they want to get out alive, secrets must be shared. Jigsaw can be watched on Hulu and Sling TV with a premium subscription, and can be rented for $1.99 on Vudu and Amazon Prime.
If people need a good scare or want to see a little blood, the movies above prove to be a good choice. Watch at your own risk.
