Which Halloween movies should we watch?
A Halloween movie night has two problems: the scaredy-cats and the horror fans want different things, and choosing eats half the night. Shortlist five movies, let everyone rank them privately, and play them in the order the group picked.
- Hocus Pocus
- Scream
- Get Out
- The Shining
- Beetlejuice
Free. Edit the options, then send one link to your group.
Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- The ranked order doubles as the watch order for a marathon.
- People who hate gore can rank it last without vetoing everyone.
- It ends the twenty-minute scroll before the movie.
How it works
- Add the question and 3 to 12 options
- Send one private link to the group
- Everyone ranks privately, in about a minute
- You reveal the winner
Tips
- Mix spooky-fun picks with real horror so everyone has a favorite.
- Write which streaming service each one is on.
Questions
Can we use it for a kids’ Halloween movie night?
Yes. Anyone with the link can rank on a phone or tablet, so kids can rank family-friendly picks too.
Can people see how I ranked?
No. Each person’s order stays private. Everyone sees the group’s final order and where they personally landed, never anyone else’s individual ranking.
Is it free? Does everyone need the app?
Rankd is free and runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Friends open the link from any group chat (iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email) and rank in about a minute.
