Welcome back to Halloween Week! So far this week I've talked you through some cute Halloween Baking Ideas and My Top 5 Halloween Kids Films. And today I'll be talking you through my Top 5 Halloween Films that definitely not suitable for younger viewers.
Practical Magic is one of my all time favourite films but I always find myself watching it more on the build up to Halloween then any other time of the year. Whilst it's not the scariest of films out there it does have it's own feel about it that makes it a perfect movie for Halloween. Starring a young Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman this film will not only tick the appropriate boxes for the holiday but also has a lovely feeling of girl power and sees a lot of women supporting women. Definitely a good film to watch with your closest girlfriends.
Another brilliant movie to watch with your lady friends is The Craft. A bit more spooky than Practical Magic this movie is about the darker side of magic and what happens when it's abused. Starring Neve Campbell this will have everyone on the edge of their seats as it reaches it's dramatic finale.
Moving slightly to a creepier movie, it's time to delve into the wondorous mind of Tim Burton. Sleepy Hollow is a reimagining of the tale of the headless horseman. It stars Johnny Depp and Christian Ricci and has a creepier, darker undertone to it. It's not the same sort of scary as films like Saw or the Conjuring but it still has that edge that'll make you unexpectedly jump.
Another brilliant film from Tim Burton is Beetlejuice. It's not a jump out your seat horror film but still has a creepiness to it that makes it brilliant to watch at Halloween. Micheal Keaton is brilliant as Beetlejuice himself and his witty sarcastic manner will manage a few laughs. Plus the iconic dining room scene will bring smiles to everyone's face.
Finally it's onto the scariest movie on the list and whilst it's still a good ten years old it still provides a brilliant fright for viewers. Starring a whole host of well known faces, Scream is the film that spawned a thousand similar films. If you haven't seen this but have heard of the recent TV series then I suggest giving that a miss and finding this on netflix. It'll definitely give you a jump or two.
