PUZZLE #303

GRYPTICS 4

Yup, you read that right! Not only is this October another theme month, but it's my first ever sequel to a theme month! And just like the Halloween Month from exactly five years ago, the common link will be the same: All of the FINAL ANSWERS this month will have something to do with the horror genre! And surprisingly, not a single one of them is a video game of some sort (so you won't get answers like Days Gone or anything like that)! So with that introduction out of the way, I'm gonna paraphrase Goosebumps and say "Solvers beware, you're in for a scare!"

Insert a single letter in each space of each grid so that each grid's five rows and five columns spells a word from left to right or top to bottom (including the letters outside the grid).
