10 Horror Films Set At Halloween To Scare You Perfectly In The Mood

10. Satan's Little Helper

Satan's Little Helper is easily one of the best horror movie titles of all time, and while the film doesn't quite live up to it and has a distinct direct-to-video feel, it's still a goofy little October ride. Halloween is a time when everyone's wearing masks, and for that reason, it's the perfect occasion for an actual monster or psychopath to slip by unnoticed. 

Satan's Little Helper plays on that fear, asking who that guy really is walking through your neighborhood in costume.

The movie follows a kid named Dougie who, while out on Halloween, befriends a man dressed as Satan from his favorite video game. As it turns out, the man is actually a serial killer who is soon sent after Alex, the boyfriend of Dougie's sister. Dougie doesn't seem to understand how dangerous this guy is, thinking all the dead bodies he has are just decorations. Halloween truly is the perfect cover.

It's pretty ridiculous at times, as with an extended gag where everyone believes Satan is actually Alex wearing a mask. What, they don't notice that this dude has a completely different body type than their friend? They don't find it weird that he's remaining silent the whole time? Still, this all just adds to the charm, and it has all the makings of a cult hit that's great for this time of year.
