32 movies you should totally watch this Halloween

accreditation

I love Halloween and so do a lot of my friends. I can’t wait to get dressed up, play bobbing for apples and go trick-or-treating. I’m also a movie buff and I always watch and re-watch my favourite scary or Halloween-themed films in the run up to October the 31st.

I tend to mix it up by watching one of my childhood favourites first and then I move on to a gory horror flick.

It’s especially fun to do with friends. Munching popcorn in your jammies while you and your brethren scream at the girl in the horror movie to run the OTHER way!

So here are my recommendations:
