Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly feature or a gory slasher flick, here’s our pick of the best films to watch this Halloween. 

Sinister 

A true-crime writer moves his family into a new house where he discovers an old box of Super-8 snuff films in the attic. This haunted house horror will give you nightmares for days. Hereditary – Heralded as the scariest movie of 2018, Hereditary will shock you from the very beginning. When a secretive grandmother dies, the family starts to unravel, as the truth about their ancestry comes to light. 

Scream 

Starring big names such as Drew Barrymore and Courtney Cox, Scream is a slasher movie that brings just as much wit and humour to the screen, as it does blood and guts. 

Hotel Transylvania 

A family favourite, this film is perfect for those with little ones who want to join in with the Halloween festivities. Dracula runs a successful hotel for monsters, but his world gets turned upside down when his daughter falls in love with a human.

IT
