Movies that feel likeHalloween (2007)

The early years of young Michael Myers and the events leading up to his fateful Halloween night murder rampage in the quiet town of Haddonfield, Illinois.

If you loved Halloween, the closest films we have are Terrifier (2018), The Eye (2002) and Annabelle Comes Home (2019). All three share Halloween's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016).
