If you’re looking to cast a spell of entertainment over your household this Halloween, look no further. Apart from the obligatory lollies and popcorn, these movies are all you need to see you through the night.
There are a lot of great Halloween movies out there, but these are some of our favourites. Some you can watch with your family, some will give you a fright, others can play in the background while greeting trick-or-treaters.
