Put down the romantic comedy and step away from the new releases. These are the films you really want to watch at Halloween.
From the most famous shower scene of all time to a film that turned the horror genre on its head, here are our top five slasher films.
Psycho
It’s an absolute classic and it never fails to make you jump. If you haven’t seen this clever Alfred Hitchcock horror already, this weekend is the time to check it out.
Halloween
Having spent many years in a mental institution after murdering his sister, Mike Myers is on the hunt again and he’s got Jamie Lee Curtis in his sights. Scary bikkies!
Child’s Play
There is nothing scarier than a knife-wielding doll: fact. Chucky is the original toy comes to life and decides to kill everyone. You might be laughing now at the sound of it but you won’t be laughing when you can’t sleep!
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Mixing the old with the new, this is your typical horror film about a group of teenagers who are tormented by a crazy killer. We just hope you didn’t do anything suspect last summer…
Scream
Wes Craven’s 1996 hit poked fun at the horror genre and surprised audiences with its shock factor. From the opening sequence to the final credits, it’s thoroughly entertaining.
