Halloween is quickly approaching. If you’re one of the many people who love to spend this spooky time of year immersed in movies that give you chills and keep you up wondering what monsters might be under the bed, you’re in luck. There are so many Halloween movies available to you at the click of a button.

From classic slasher movies on cable to original streaming horror flicks and family-friendly films (“Hocus Pocus” every night, anyone?), if you want to spend the entire week leading up to Halloween taking in as many scary movies as possible, you totally can. I mean, take a break for fresh air and candy a few times, but otherwise, watch Halloween movies until you can watch Halloween movies no more.

To help you on this endeavor, here’s a comprehensive list of both movies playing on cable and the many, many options on your favorite streaming services. Enjoy, if you dare.
