Fall is the best time to sit and watch some scary movies, and there are a ton of new horror films coming out that fans are anticipating. Here are some awesome spooky and scary movies coming out this fall:

Though we can never even compare a Joker performance to Heath Ledger’s, I think Joaquin Phoenix will do an amazing job in his place. The newest film about this villain, Joker, is set to hit theaters October 4. It follows the backstory of comedian Arthur Fleck and his evolution into the evil mastermind we know as the Joker.
