Fright night – The 10 best halloween movies
1- The Blair Witch project: This film will having you sitting on the edge of your seat the entire time. While it has no gore or scary looking creatures, the fear in the characters eyes is enough to leave you terrified for days.

3- Sinister: A lesser known fright night classic but nonetheless a true champion. A suspenseful movie with a fantastic twist at the end. You’ll never look at your children the same. Best to watch with friends and have the Frozen soundtrack on standby to play over the top of the movie to take away the scariness.
4- The Silence of the Lambs: The best of the best. If the IMDB rating doesn’t give you enough of an idea, this is an extremely well made film. If cannibals and psychopaths aren’t enough then the killer in this movie will really get your blood pumping.
