Halloweeny Goodness

~“When witches go riding, and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers, ‘tis near Halloween’“~

I adore Halloween! I love scary movies, dressing up and most of all partying (although no one will be doing much partying this year with the old ‘rona’ flying round!) As a big fan of the horror genre and self diagnosed witch, I thought I’d share my top 10 horror movies. 

So from the coven straight to your tumblr feed here's my 

TOP TEN HORROR MOVIES FOR SPOOKY SEASON!

*WARNING: This post contains opinions, more specifically my opinions I would love to hear your top 10 as it is almost definitely going to be different to mine due to a little thing called personal taste*

10. A Quiet Place: Firstly, John Krasinski is one of the most attractive males I have ever laid my eyes on! and it was a mega plus watching him in dad mode throughout the movie! The acting in this film is pretty much 10/10 and the attention to detail throughout is simply spooktacular!

9. Sleepy Hollow: This film is honestly so aesthetically pleasing and includes a role played by Christina Ricci who is again one of my celebrity crushes (are you starting to see a pattern here?). This film is funny, scary, gory and even romantic at times. All the ingredients for a great movie!

8. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: Although I personally love this film, I believe it has a much greater effect on a viewer who has previously read the short story series of the same name written by Alvin Schwartz. A slightly above average movie plot but the great effects, and right amount of nostalgia thrown in puts this movie at number 8 on my list.

7. Carrie: The first film on my list based on a book by my beloved Stephen King, Carrie is a relatable character I mean apart from the whole telekinetic powers thing...obviously. Although I definitely prefer the original to the newer remake both are worth the watch. 

6.In the Tall Grass: Another one of Stephen Kings masterpieces, In the Tall Grass is a fairly new addition to the horror genre but in my opinion holds up against the classics. The perfect amount of gore mixed with horror. As well as being interesting and psychological, this film has some great creative visual choices and is definitely worth a watch.

5.Coraline: Although not technically a horror movie, the Other Mother haunted the dreams of 9 year old me for months after the film was released which is why I believe this movie deserves fifth place on this list. Amazing visuals filmed in stop motion, Coraline is as charming as it is creepy and brings back a lot of nostalgia when re-watching.

4. Nightmare on Elm Street: An inspired creation by Wes Craven, Freddy Krueger is one of the most horrific creations in the horror genre. This movie works both as a slasher flick and a psychological thriller which is what makes it so amazing. As an older classic horror film, Nightmare on Elm Street still holds up in 2020 and is a must watch around Halloween time (I mean unless you actually want to fall asleep!)

3. IT (chapter 1 and 2): Now I have a massive fear of clowns and the original IT terrified me (Tim Curry’s Pennywise is my worst nightmare). The newer movies however venture into the adventure genre which is definitely different from the original but also the reason why I enjoy it so much. Everything from the characters and the actors who play them (the casting for these films is some of the best I've seen) to the great (but sometimes overused) CGI, this film is beautifully shot and deserves the third spot on my list. 

2. Scream: Scream and it’s sequels were probably the first horror/slasher movies I ever watched and I adore them! Although they may not be the most scary films on this list, they have a charming nostalgia surrounding them that only 90′s films can bring! Neve Campbell’s acting as main character Sydney Prescott is Oscar worthy, and the way that Wes Craven takes expected horror movie clichés and turns them into great movies with some amazing plot twists is truly extraordinary. Definitely worth the watch this Halloween!

1.Pet Sematary: *Drum Roll* and in first place is ‘Pet Sematary’!! You guessed it a film adaptation of one of Stephen King’s books takes first place. Both the original and the remakes of this film stand out for their own special reasons. The original (1989) Has it’s strengths and weaknesses, Whilst I personally enjoy it as I have read the novel, A new audience member to this film may not completely understand the plot as the film is fast paced and difficult to keep up with without knowing the plot first. However, the cinematography is impressive, and the film has an eerie feel to it that not many movies have. The 2019 remake has to be one of my favorite movie in the horror genre! Jete Lawrence is an amazing child actor who portrays the role of Ellie perfectly. The movie is moving as well as scary, and conveys emotion exceptionally well making you care for the characters quickly! overall it’s a great movie with some beautifully shot scenes and that is why it gets number one on my list!

Bonus Movie: Although I could not fit ‘Gerald’s Game’ on the list, I just had to add it as a bonus movie! It is gruesome and thrilling with a completely original plot! A must watch!
