It's that time of year again. Ghosts and goblins alike come out of the cracks, making us look behind ourselves when the wind blows.
I don't know about everyone else but I LOVE to be scared! The adrenaline rush. The hairs standing up on the back of my neck. That creepy feeling that you're not alone.
If you're like me and you love a good scare, here are a few chillers and thrillers to help you through one of the best holidays ever...HALLOWEEN!!!
1. Afterlife with Archie

But he's not the same - and soon, the darkness he brings back with him from beyond the grave begins to spread, forcing Archie and the gang to try to escape Riverdale!
2. Locke & Key

"Where do serial killers come from?" and why has Buckaroo, Oregon given birth to sixteen of the most vile serial killers in the world?

4. Severed

5. Uzumaki
Kurozu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed. According to Shuichi Saito, the withdrawn boyfriend of teenager Kirie Goshima, their town is haunted not by a person or being but by a pattern: uzumaki, the spiral, the hypnotic secret shape of the world. It manifests itself in everything from seashells and whirlpools in water to the spiral marks on people's bodies, the insane obsessions of Shuichi's father and the voice from the cochlea in our inner ear. As the madness spreads, the inhabitants of Kurozu-cho are pulled ever deeper into a whirlpool from which there is no return!
6. The Walking Dead
