Poltergeisht is of course a legit horror movie and scary in a classic horror film way. Great choice for Ghostbusters I as well. Although not a true horror movie and more of a light-hearted family film, there are a few spooky moments like the scene at the library with the disruptive spectre or the unsettling apparition at Dana’s Apartment. This movie is great for the fall and is a timeless boffo classic.
