10 Best Horror Movies Set On Halloween Night

10. Haunt

Haunt feels like Escape Room meets Saw meets Rob Zombie's 31, but manages to take a step beyond any of these movies by integrating the fairground classic of the haunted house into its core.

Scott Beck and Bryan Woods' slasher puts a group of college students in a rural haunted house slap bang in the middle of Halloween night. Everybody is dressed for the occasion and a little tipsy, so when they come upon a creepy masked clown guarding the entrance of what can best be described as a storage unit-cum-warehouse, they surrender their phones and sign a liability waiver promising they won't sue if anything goes wrong.

Whatever happened to going to a house party and doing tequila shots?

Needless to say, the haunted house seems chillingly authentic, and while the first half hour or so has the revellers caught up in some scary but fairly harmless (or at least minimally harmful) shenanigans, things soon take a drastic turn for the worse. This haunted house is run by an insane clown posse - a group of Juggalo-looking cretins who have cut their faces into real masks of horror, and want nothing more than to shed the blood of the innocent.

Why? Who knows. But for some straightforward Halloween thrills, spills, chills and kills, Haunt is a one-stop shop.
