Even though I love Halloween & generally enjoy going out with my friends to celebrate, sometimes, it is nice to stay at home. Cook yourself a special Halloween dinner, invite some friends around, decorate your house & watch some films. Here are ten perfect Halloween movies as recommended by me!
❤ House of 1000 Corpses ❤
Rob Zombie – 2003
Rob Zombie – 2003
While travelling through Texas, some teenagers comes across the sickest white trash family known to man. Carnage ensues.
❤ Dawn of the Dead ❤
George A. Romero – 1978
After a zombie epidemic, a group of people seek refuge in a shopping mall. Best. Siege. Ever. Possibly one of the most amazing films ever made if you ask me.
Well of course Halloween is part of the list! Hearing the music is sometimes enough to give me goosebumps.

❤ Sisters ❤
Brian de Palma – 1973
Siamese twins who have lost their parents get separated. Bloody murders & strange investigation. I watched this film for the first time with my dad when I was quite young & it made a big impression on me.

❤ The Blob (remake) ❤
Chuck Russell – 1988
A growing life form takes over a city eating everything on its way. The 1988 version of The Blob is cheesy & creepy at the same time. Another film I discovered with my dad when I was 10. Shaped my taste for horror movies along with a few others that are not in this list.

❤ The Last House on the Left ❤
Wes Craven – 1972
Wes Craven – 1972
Two teenage girls are captured by psychopaths. First film by Wes Craven & a wonder of claustrophobic atmosphere.
❤ Nightmare on Elm Street ❤
Wes Craven – 1984
My biggest fears: spiders & monsters under the bed… Especially if it is Freddy Krueger. I have seen all the Nightmare on Elm Street films a few times & still, I shiver when Freddy appears.

❤ Candyman ❤
Bernard Rose – 1992
Sixteen years later I still can’t say his name five times or see bees without thinking that Candyman is around somewhere. Sad, I know.

❤ The Evil Dead ❤
Sam Raimi – 1981
Some friends retreat to a cabin in the woods for a holiday & end up unleashing demons. As we do. Bruce Campbell is one of my all time heroes.

❤ Basket Case ❤
Frank Henenlotter – 1982
This is just plain weird & totally absurd, but I love it. The story of a young man & his horribly deformed twin brother who lives in a basket… Hence Basket Case, geddit?
