If you’ve followed the blog for a while, you already know – I’m a horror movie fanatic.
The obsession started when I first moved to Wilmington as a little girl. On Friday nights, Mama popped popcorn and cuddled up with me on the couch for horror movie fests.
Mama always fell asleep before the first movie was over. But I hunkered down in the crook of her knees, watching scary movies until I couldn’t hold my eyes open anymore.
Those are some of my favorite childhood memories. Nothing feels as safe and comforting as curling up next to your mama.
I treasured those moments so much that I carried on the tradition with Bug and Belle. Every Friday night when they were little, we had scary movie night.
It’s something we still do, especially during spooky season.
In honor of that tradition, I thought I’d share some more horror movies filmed in NC with y’all. Below you’ll find 9 binge-worthy movies to enjoy before Halloween passes us by. Enjoy!
