This is Halloween!

Well, technically only in a few hours! But the fun can start now!

Sadly I live in a country where Halloween isn't exactly celebrated... only recently kids started going out trick or treating. We do, however, watch horror movies.

So, in case you need a little list of good movies for the night in question, here you go, my...:

5 Essential Halloween Movies:

5. Scream

It's the typical teenage horror film. It's still as scary as it was back then, and guaranteed fun.

4. Trick r' Treat

Watched this one with Viv and it was a breath of fresh air in terms of Horror movies. If you think most of the ones released in the past 10 years lack something, this one will restore all your faith in the Horror genre. AND it's all about Halloween (it may or may not be implied in the title).

3. Sleepy Hollow

Tim Burton, Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci. That's enough reason right there to watch it. Oh, and Headless Horseman, anyone?

2. The Addams Family

One of my all-time favourites. Everyone knows them so it spares me explaining what it's about. It makes me miss Raul Julia like.... I can't even. Again, Christina Ricci (can't help it, she is lovely and creepy at the same time. Win, win.). You might spend weeks screaming CARA MIA randomly and calling everyone "mon amour". And the soundtrack... takes years.... in... your... head. Bliss.

1. The Nightmare Before Christmas

This is my inner child calling. Watch this (I doubt you haven't) and fall in love with Tim Burton forever. It's a mix between Halloween and Christmas. Not particularly scary (maybe for children), but a true Halloween movie.
