The answers to today's Strands, game #62, are PSYCHO POLTERGEIST HALLOWEEN 
HOSTEL SCREAM SPANGRAM: SCARYMOVIE My rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

This was a pretty easy Strands puzzle. Some of that was due to the theme 
being something close to my heart  namely horror movies. I've watched every 
one of the answers, and many more besides, which definitely helped me to 
solve it. But it also benefitted from some of the letter placement making it 
easier to find the words. Take PSYCHO in the bottom left corner: there's a 
grid of six consonants together in that corner of the board, which means the 
ways in which the letters can be combined are drastically reduced. I was able 
to find that answer with little effort as a result, which  together with the 
theme hint of 'The horror'  confirmed what I was looking for. After that, the 
task was a mere matter of me wracking my brain for classic horror flicks. 
POLTERGEIST was the only slightly tricky one, simply because I couldn't spell 
it
