While the legendary 80s film, A Nightmare on Elm Street,
may also be suited better for a Halloween-specific article, there's a certain
chill to this movie that is reminiscent of fall. From dense fog and teens, this
supernatural slasher is somewhat of an enigma when it comes to horror. While
the killer is dead, he's not the typical ghostly being that haunts horror films
like it. No, he's an actual killer and as he chases his victims through
assorted dreamscapes, audiences can expect to be fully immersed in a world
that's perpetually fall.

Old period home, chilly mornings and plenty of fallen leaves.
Yes, I could be describing just about any of the movies on this list, but I'm
talking about the one, the only: The Conjuring. Easily one of the
scariest modern horror films, The Conjuring is meant for fall viewing.
Its autumnal setting, often referenced in the film's cinematography and
character's fashion feel exclusively autumnal. From witches to ghosts, this
movie has everything and it’s all wrapped up in a nice orange and brown bow.

2. The Blair Witch Project/Blair Witch
Say what you will about the surprise sequel to The Blair
Witch Project, but the pair complements one another nicely and perfectly
capture fall in the Northeast. Like many rural areas there, the setting of
these two films features deep woods, leaf-covered grounds and plenty of dewy
foliage. Whether watching Heather & co or James & friends getting
hopelessly lost in the woods near Burkittsville, ME, the sense of chilled
nights and earlier sunsets permeates every scene. Pair this with the casts'
hiking gear, visible breath and the iconic snot scene and The Blair Witch
Project series will herald you into autumn with gusto. |

1. The Possession
If you're not a woman in your 60s you may not realize that Labor
Day is a huge time for garage sales. So, in honor of the holiday itself, it's
only fair to give the top spot on this list to a movie that's entire plot stems
from a garage sale. That, in addition to the greyness, fallen leaves and
general atmosphere of fall, all makes The Possession the type of movie
that will have you fully prepared for autumn. The nights scenes are spooky, the
day scenes are dull in color and the movie as a whole has an ambience
reminiscent of childhood and jumping in leaves, or whatever the horror version
of that would be.
