There's no better way to give yourself a good scare, than to watch a horror movie.

As we inch closer to Halloween, one local movie rental chain is having a hard time keeping them on the shelves.

The new release, "Trick Or Treat" is popular, as are classics like "Carrie" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

But no matter what renters choose, they keep coming back for more.

"Scary movies stay scary, I don't care if you see them a hundred different times and people just keep returning for them. That is probably our number one rentals out of our thousands of movies in our two for one section," says Jared Dewald, the Manager of Family Video.

Lots of scary movies are famous for having sequels.

He credits that to great characters that can't seem to die.

"Freddy From Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Jason From Friday The 13th" are perfect examples.
