I don't know about you, but I am already thinking about pumpkins and crisp leaves, apple picking and HALLOWEEN. That's right people, it might be sweltering outside, but in my little library office, I am all about the orange and black. Also, I love movie showings at the library. So, imagine my joy at discovering that Brooke Windsor over at the YALSA Hub has compiled a list of recommended horror movies that teens will love (and parents won't hate). Including A Quiet Place and Lights Out, Windsor also includes some "horror-lite" selections like Gremlins, for younger teen audiences. Check out the whole list HERE.

Stanger Things: 13 Supernatural Stories
Recently, the late-summer hit series, Stranger Things, has dredged up 80s nostalgia, while simultaneously reintroducing audiences to the thrills of well-written horror. In response to this phenomenon, Karen Kleckner Keefe, over at The Booklist Reader, has compiled a list of 13 Supernatural Stories for 80s Horror Fans. Check out the full list HERE or explore the highlights below!
The Boys of Summer (Richard Cox)
In 1979, a massive tornado devastates the city of Wichita Falls, Texas, leaving nine-year-old Todd Willis in a coma, fighting for his life. Four years later, Todd awakens to a world that looks the same but feels different in a way he can't quite grasp. For Todd, it's a struggle to separate fact from fiction.
A Monster Calls (Patrick Ness)
At seven minutes past midnight, thirteen-year-old Conor wakes to find a
monster outside his bedroom window. But it isn't the monster Conor's
been expecting-- he's been expecting the one from his nightmare, the
nightmare he's had nearly every night since his mother started her
treatments. The monster in his backyard is different. It's ancient. And
wild. And it wants something from Conor.
Paper Girls (Brian Vaughan)
In the early hours after Halloween of 1988, four 12-year-old newspaper
delivery girls uncover the most important story of all time. Suburban
drama and otherworldly mysteries collide in this smash-hit series about
nostalgia, first jobs, and the last days of childhood.
