It's that time of year again; the pumpkins are carved and an eerie fog is emerging as we approach October 31st. We're here to share some frightening favourites to help get you in the seasonal spirit, hopefully you'll find the perfect match for your popcorn bucket this weekend. 

We'll be giving them a Ghostly Rating 👻 out of 5 - so you can pick the right level of scare for your Sunday.

1. [Dark/Web] (2019)
    Available to stream from Amazon Prime Video

If full movies aren't your thing, this short 8-episode series could be perfect for you. One of the first-ever full-length, independently produced seasons of television, Dark/Web follows a programmer's mysterious disappearance that leads to the reunion of old friends and the discovery that the strange stories she left behind may point to an impending technological crisis. 

2. Scream (1996)
   Available to buy from Apple TV, YouTube or stream on Amazon Prime Video

We couldn't leave this off of our list - especially with the latest addition to the franchise right around the corner! Wes Craven's classic Scream introduced us to the iconic Ghostface mask: it follows a group of scary movie fans that quickly become the target of an unknown serial villain. 

3. Hocus Pocus (1993)
Available to watch on Disney+, YouTube, Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video

The Halloween season wouldn't be complete without a visit from the Sanderson sisters. This family-friendly spook is a perfect way to enjoy the festive period with your younger film buffs!
