TV4 News Guanajuato | Movies that can’t be missed on Halloween

If you are already putting together the perfect marathon for this Halloween, here is the definitive list that mixes chilling classics, nostalgia and dark vibes for all tastes. Prepare the popcorn, dim the lights… and cross your fingers so that your door does not suddenly squeak.

To start strong: “The Exorcist” (William Friedkin, 1973), a gem of terror that continues to cause nightmares decades after its release. Nothing like a story of demonic possession to get on your nerves.

If that’s not enough for you, add it “The Conjuring” (James Wan, 2013), based on the Warrens’ paranormal cases. Spoiler: yes, you will jump out of your seat more than once.

We continue with a slasher legendario: “Halloween” (John Carpenter, 1978), where Michael Myers proves that walking slowly has never been so terrifying. Ideal if you want pure tension and a dark suburban atmosphere that never goes out of style.

But not everything has to be pure scares; The season is also magic, aesthetics and a good soundtrack. That’s what it’s for “The Strange World of Jack” (1993), Tim Burton’s stop-motion classic that mixes Halloween with Christmas and has the perfect vibe for fans of the gothic style. And since we’re talking about Burton, Beetlejuice (1988) also makes the list: fun, eccentric and with that spooky touch that makes it irresistible.

Finally, it closes with an unmissable eighties classic: “American Werewolf in London”, (John Landis, 1981) famous for its incredible practical effects and for showing that horror can also have weird and gory humor.

Now, the plan is ready. The only thing missing is your favorite drink, a blanket to cover your nose and… a lot of courage, do you dare to see them?
