To help celebrate Halloween, here are a couple of entertaining horror movies you could watch! There are many horror movies available but these are just some of the movies I like to watch!
Trick ‘r’ Treat (2007):
First on the list is a movie called TRICK ‘R’ TREAT. This is a very entertaining movie set in a small town during Halloween. It follows multiple short storylines which are all taking place at the same time, on the same night, in the same town. Each story is linked to the other as well. It’s a perfect Halloween night movie as it provides horror, comedy and more, all in one. Here is the official synopsis and trailer:
Five interwoven stories that occur on Halloween: An everyday high school principal has a secret life as a serial killer; a college virgin might have just met the guy for her; a group of teenagers pull a mean prank; a woman who loathes the night has to contend with her holiday-obsessed husband; and a mean old man meets his match with a demonic, supernatural trick-or-treater.
Tales of Halloween (2015):
Similar to the above movie, Tales of Halloween has 10 interwoven short horror stories. These are all great and have a dark sense of humour to them. I really loved how each short story focuses on a different genre of horror. For example, stories can focus on UFO’s, Ghosts and much more. Definitely worth considering for Halloween!
Here is the synopsis and trailer:
Ten stories are woven together by their shared theme of Halloween night in an American suburb, where ghouls, imps, aliens and axe murderers appear for one night only to terrorize unsuspecting residents.
Halloween (2018):
This movie is currently in theatres so it would be a great time to go and watch it. This Halloween is produced by the legendary John Carpenter and features Jamie Lee Curtis’ character Laurie Strode confronting Micheal Myers. The movie has been getting some great reviews so far. Here is the synopsis and trailer:
Laurie Strode confronts her long-time foe Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.
The Shining (1980):
This is a classic horror movie starring Jack Nicholson, based on the popular Stephen King novel. It has brilliant acting and storytelling. Here is the synopsis and trailer:
A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil spiritual presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future.
Scream (1996):
This is a classic 90’s slasher movie starring Neve Campbell, David Arquette and more. I have seen the Scream movies many times. The original is my favourite. Here is the synopsis and trailer:
A year after the murder of her mother, a teenage girl is terrorized by a new killer, who targets the girl and her friends by using horror films as part of a deadly game.
Scary Movie (2000):
The original Scary Movie is a hilarious horror / comedy movie to watch on Halloween. It did a great job of poking fun at the popular horror movies at the time. It was directed and written by the Wayans Brothers. Here is the synopsis and trailer:
A year after disposing of the body of a man they accidentally killed, a group of dumb teenagers are stalked by a bumbling serial killer.
IT (2017):
I loved the new IT movie. It was a brilliant horror movie and I can’t wait to see the sequel. It stars Bill Skarsgård and others. It is genuinely a creepy movie and the acting is awesome. Here is the synopsis and trailer:
In the summer of 1989, a group of bullied kids band together to destroy a shape-shifting monster, which disguises itself as a clown and preys on the children of Derry, their small Maine town.
The Conjuring 1 / 2:
These movies are both awesome horror movies to watch on Halloween. They have great storytelling and some terrifying moments. Here is the synopsis and trailer for the first Conjuring movie:
Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse.
Beetlejuice (1988):
Another classic horror / comedy movie starring Michael Keaton, Geena Davis, Alec Baldwin and Winona Ryder. This is one of my all-time favourite movies. It has hilarious moments in it and is also a horror movie. Michael Keaton’s acting is brilliant. He is amazing as Beetlejuice. Here is the synopsis:
A recently deceased husband and wife commission a bizarre demon to drive an obnoxious family out of their home.
These were just some of the potential horror movies you could watch. We hope you have a great Halloween.
