There you have it, my top 13 Not-So-Horror-ble-Movies of 2017. I realize you might disagree with this list, but I’ve seen every horror movie that’s come out this year thus far and I stand by my decision. Of course, this list only includes movies that have been released as of October 13, 2017. So while upcoming titles such as Jigsaw, The Snowman, Leatherface, etc. are sure to entertain, I cannot include movies on my list that have not yet been released. To that end, be sure to stick around and see how I rate those upcoming horror movies later this year. In the mean time, you should check out these horror movies for yourself and see which ones you think should be added to your Halloween horror movie watch list.

 

Cheers and goodnight.
