Halloween Horrors (or not so horrific for the faint-hearted)
With Halloween fast approaching, why not add a hint of spook to your movie night? Here’s a guide to the best Halloween-themed TV series and films to watch this week!
Â
Modern Family Halloween Specials
Modern family is one of my favourite TV shows, and it’s something that I can always rely on to cheer me up if I’m feeling a bit down. If you’re a bit of a wimp when it comes to horror films, these Halloween Special episodes are the best thing for you to watch this Halloween. There are plenty of laughs provided- particularly by Haley’s Halloween costumes.

Scream Queens
From the same creators of Glee and American Horror Story, Scream Queens is a new show to hit our TV screens, and it has a killer cast- Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts, Ariana Grande and Abigail Breslin.  It tells the story of a sorority house being haunted by the terrifying and deadly Red Devil. Fans of Mean Girls will love the show, with Chanel and her minions similar to Regina George and her squad (pink and girly clothes included!). Despite characters being murdered onscreen in a gory manner, there is still an element of comedy so this TV series doesn’t reach the top of the gore-o-meter.

The Woman in Black
The first time I heard about The Woman in Black was when my school decided to take the whole of Year 7 to see the theatre production in London. It was the scariest play I’ve seen in my life, and I definitely had a few nightmares after! The film is just as terrifying and features Daniel Radcliffe. For those who love horror, this is for you!

The Worst Witch (1986)
Last on my list is one of my favourite Halloween films from my childhood, and if you’re feeling nostalgic, give this a watch! I loved this book series when I was little, and this 1986 film is a classic. It’s always cool to see how much the film industry and technology have improved since then!
