We all know horror movie windows are infamous for setting up a scare. As Halloween approaches, I can\u2019t help but feel that same tension when I glance out my own windows. As soon as the moon rises and casts an eerie, pale light, I usually decide to draw the shades and head to bed. It’s not that I would mind watching the stars twinkle through the vast darkness, but I’d hate to catch a glimpse of something spooky. Especially during this time of year. Who knows what’s out there? It’s a lot easier to get a good night’s sleep when you don’t have to wonder about what horrors might be hiding behind the blinds. Scary movies have made a tradition out of terrifying windows that I can’t seem to ignore.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the most thrilling and spine-chilling horror movie moments as seen through a window.<\/p>\n

Psycho<\/h2>\n

Originally based on a novel by Robert Bloch, the “Psycho” story was made infamous in the 1960 film. Suspenseful from start to finish, the movie scared audiences across the country and made us leery about taking a shower. One of the most iconic images from “Pscyho” is the silhouette of Norma Bates overlooking the motel from her bedroom as the protagonist arrives.<\/p>\n

Norma’s son Norman is in charge of the entire property and his mother is in charge of him. She seems particularly unhappy that another woman has decided to stay at the motel. All this leads to a terrifying meet-up in the shower. As it turns out, there’s a lot more, or less, to the Bates family that we’re initially led to believe.<\/p>\n

Salem’s Lot<\/h2>\n

This Stephen King novel is better known for being adapted into one of the most memorable made-for-TV movies in history. I still remember screaming “stay away from the window” at my television as a kid. I always thought vampires were a creepy bunch, but this movie really sealed the deal. It also made me want to seal my windows shut!<\/p>\n

The plot of “Salem’s Lot” centers itself in a small New England town that is slowly being taken over by a band of bloodsuckers. One of the first victims is a child, who inexplicably disappears. He then reappears, hovering menacingly outside of his brother’s window. Despite my best efforts of cautioning the characters through my television, the younger brother opens the window. Of course, he’s quickly enveloped by a mysterious fog and a pair of fangs. Remember, if your siblings turn into vampires, they’re not your siblings anymore. Next time I suggest pulling the curtains shut<\/a> and going back to bed!<\/p>\n
