Schulz’s Peanuts turning 75 earlier this month, it seems only fitting that we count It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) among the best spooky movies to watch this season.

Nosferatu (2024) is a horror-mystery film directed by Robert Eggers and released during the holiday season just less than a full year ago.
