Please keep in mind that this is merely my opinion, and this will be almost strictly horror. You could say "What's Dia das bruxas without Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown?" and that's fine but also cliched and not horror. This is not a list of my favorito horror filmes por any means either, just a list of great ones I think are fun to watch at Dia das bruxas time and give me that sense of Horrorween (my new favorito word btw). I have also included some horror televisรฃo in here as well just for the short attention span people (aka me).
In no particular order...

"A troupe of actors hired for a haunted house attraction soon find that they are working in a true house of horror."
