2025’s Toddflix Halloween Marathon

Halloween’s always been my favorite kind of ritual, dark skies, glowing pumpkins, and a pile of movies that make you check the shadows twice. Every year, my wife and I turn the day into an event: a full-on horror marathon. We stock up on snacks like we’re riding out the apocalypse, popcorn, candy, nachos, the works, and hunker down for an all-day scream fest that runs from morning chills to midnight nightmares. I’ve always loved movies, but horror hits different. It’s emotion stripped raw, fear, tension, release. And right now, we’re living in a golden age of it. Studios like Blumhouse and A24 are giving us the kind of horror that crawls under your skin and stays there. The craft, the sound design, the slow-burn dread, its art disguised as adrenaline. This year’s lineup mixes the best of what’s new and what’s twisted. Some are sleek psychological nightmares, others are pure monster mayhem. All of them earn their spot on the screen. So if you’re like me and love that feeling when the lights go out and your pulse starts to sync with the score, grab a blanket, grab a bite, and press play. The night’s young. The horror’s fresh.…
