13 Horror Movies You Should Watch on Friday the 13th

There’s nothing scarier than watching a chilling horror movie on the spookiest day of the year: Friday the 13th.

The most obvious choice? It’s in the title. Friday the 13th, which released in 1980, would go on to spawn an entire horror franchise in its name. The film gave life to one of the genre’s most iconic killers Jason Voorhees — a hockey mask-faced murderer who is ruthlessly seeking revenge.

For something more thrilling — and a lot less gory — The Conjuring will scare the pants off of anyone. The supernatural flick tells the tale of a family living in a home possessed by a demon. Following its 2013 box office success, The Conjuring expanded its cinematic universe with three follow-up films and the Annabelle prequel movies.

From psychological thrillers to gory slasher films, there are plenty of horror flicks to watch on Friday the 13th. Keep scrolling for our favorites — if you dare:
