ginger snaps is one of the movies I rewatch every autumn— it has perfect fall vibes, but isn’t particularly scary.
some other options, varying in fear factor:
the descent 2005
frankenstein 1931
sleepy hollow 1999
the cabin in the woods 2011
the witch 2015
stopmotion 2023
the black cat 1934
I have plenty more recommendations, but since I’m not sure what exactly is your cup of tea, I tried to provide movies that all have different vibes to get as much range as possible. hopefully there’s something you’ll like!

Honestly I could go on forever but these are the first ones I could think of… a related post should display below this one with some of my other horror recommendations
* Ernest Scared Stupid… very goofy. you can actually watch it in its entirety on YouTube… Eartha Kitt is in it…
* Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost; Scooby Doo on Zombie Island; Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School — i was obsessed with Scooby Doo as a kid and these still hold up…
* Return to Oz — this movie is so fucked up and underrated. starring THORA BIRCH
* The Craft; Ginger Snaps — obviously. Listing these together as they’re both angsty teen movies
* American Mary — so iconic and very gory
* The Autopsy of Jane Doe — so scary!!!
* Red Rooms — creepiest movie I’ve seen all year but not in the way you might think…
* Malignant — best movie
* Suspiria remake and original — tbh i prefer the remake but the original is a vibe
* Oddity — fun and atmospheric
* Cure — meditative, deeply unsettling, even hypnotic one could say…
* Sleepy Hollow — incredible gothic Halloween vibes
* Strange Darling — FINALLY just released to streaming today I haven’t seen it but I’m including it on this list on a provisional basis because I’ve heard amazing things

I watched this movie on a plane to Australia and I LOVED IT.
The late 90s look of everything, the autumn scenery, the goofy looking werewolves, etc. combine together to make this really unique and fun experience. It has such a perfect October vibe to it, I cannot recommend it enough. It is currently on Prime Video to watch and you will have an amazing time if you enjoyed movies like The Craft or other coming of age supernatural horror flicks.
Big content warning [technically a spoiler i guess but it is the first scene in the film] though regarding violence against animals, there is a decent amount of implied and explicit violence against dogs.

-nightbreed, for weird demons and cool worldbuilding
-oculus, for a mind-bending haunted house trip
-house of wax (2005) for a stupid slasher to watch with friends

the whole dead man’s bones album has spooky vibes, but this one is definitely best suited for a party. also you can surprise your guests with the fun fact that ryan gosling is the singer :-)
