\u201cPsycho\u201d, we\u2019d be prepared to bet a lot of money your mind immediately played those staccato violins while the terrified face of Janet Leigh screaming from her shower filled your vision. There\u2019s a reason Psycho is one of the greatest horror movies of all time \u2013 it\u2019s fast-paced, tense and has one of the most haunting soundtracks ever composed.<\/p>\n<p>Marion Crane (Leigh) is forced to run away from a bad mistake and she ends up at the Bates Motel, which is probably the worst place she could arrive at. The accommodation is owned by creepy Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), a man with a taxidermy obsession and a deep, dark secret hidden in his mother\u2019s bedroom. Full of terror, suspense, drama and an ending you will never see coming, Hitchcock\u2019s finest horror is a must-watch this Halloween.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013 Helen Daly, Assistant

Starring an unrecognisable Bill Skarsg\u00e2rd as the shapeshifting monster, this blockbuster is a solid remake of a horror classic, full of jump-scares, gory gashes and creepy dancing on It\u2019s part that will haunt you long after the film ends.<\/p>\n<p>Set in 1988, It follows schoolboy Bill (Jaeden Lieberher) and his bullied friends Richie, Eddie, Stan, Mike, Ben and Beverly \u2013 branded The Losers\u2019 Club \u2013 as they investigate sightings of Pennywise the Dancing Clown, a supernatural being who\u2019s responsible for the deaths of several children in the area, including Bill\u2019s six-year-old brother Georgie.<\/p>\n<p>With stunning performances from the film\u2019s young cast and edge-of-your-seat run-ins between the children and Pennywise, It is worth a watch if you\u2019re a fan of Stranger Things, but you\u2019re wanting something much, much scarier for Halloween.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013 Lauren Morris, Writer-Researcher<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to watch:<\/strong> <a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Bill-Skarsgard\/dp\/B0756WQDR7?tag=radtim0b-21&amp;ascsubtag=radiotimes-0&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored&quot;

A string of increasingly convoluted sequels, remakes and reboots have followed, leaving the series with three distinct timelines (or four, if you count Rob Zombie\u2019s 2007 film and its 2009 follow-up), and while some of these spin-offs have their merits, there\u2019s a brutal simplicity to the original Halloween which simply cannot be matched.

And when we say cat, we don\u2019t mean Jonesy.<\/p>\n<p>No, the true predator onboard is the titular alien creature, memorably bursting from John Hurt\u2019s chest before stalking and hunting down the crew of the Nostromo one by one. Luckily, one of the greatest film heroines in history \u2013 Sigourney Weaver\u2019s Ellen Ripley \u2013 stands between the creature and the rest of the human race\u2026<\/p>\n<p>A mix of good and bad sequels and some truly dire spin-offs (Alien vs Predator: Requiem, anyone?) has slightly diminished the impact of the franchise, but the original Alien movie is still an all-time classic.

Aster had already firmly marked himself out as a horror director to watch with his debut feature Hereditary in 2018, and he only enhanced that reputation with this terrific second film.<\/p>\n<p>Taking clear inspiration from folk horror staples such as The Wicker Man, the film is nonetheless very much it\u2019s own thing \u2013 an exhilarating cinematic experience with memorable moments aplenty, but also a moving and cathartic exploration of grief.<\/p>\n<p>The film centres on Dani Ardor, who is grieving the death of her sister and parents when she takes up the offer to travel with her boyfriend and his friends to a remote Swedish community for the traditional Midsommar festival, where she quickly realises everything is not as it seems.<\/p>\n<p>In a cinema

A zombie film might not sound like a go-to watch for the more easily spooked viewer, but this ground-breaking \u2018horror comedy\u2019 feels more like a sitcom (albeit one with a few flesh eaters lurching about the streets of London).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">Pegg plays Shaun, a slacker-Romeo who is going through a painful break-up and decides to drown his sorrows with his best mate

made, 1922\u2019s Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror was the first screen adaptation of Bram Stoker\u2019s Dracula (a film released the previous year, Dracula\u2019s Death, had featured the Count but was not directly based on Stoker\u2019s novel) but was produced without permission, with names being changed from the original text in a flimsy attempt to avoid copyright issues \u2013 most notably, Max Schreck\u2019s vampire is not the suave Count Dracula that would become standard but rather the memorably grotesque Count Orlok. This effort failed and a court ruling ordered all copies of Nosferatu to be destroyed \u2013 a few prints thankfully survived, though, preserving what is now considered to be a classic of silent German Expressionist horror, with director FW Murnau\u2019s use of shadows and unsettling imagery still holding the power to unnerve almost 100 years on from the film\u2019s original release.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013 Morgan Jeffery, Executive Editor<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to watch:<\/strong> <a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Nosferatu-Max-Schreck\/dp\/B086WFG2LZ?tag=radtim0b-21&amp;ascsubtag=radiotimes-0&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored&quot;

Scream immediately hooks you in with what might be one of the most terrifying opening stings ever put to screen, featuring a heartbreaking performance from Drew Barrymore and the unforgettable first appearance of Ghostface.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">The focus then shifts to a group of high schoolers led by Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott, who are left reeling from the revelation that a killer is lurking in their sleepy town. The tone lightens just a little as Craven begins playing with the tropes of a sub-genre he helped create, with some amusing meta-commentary delivered by Jamie Kennedy as movie buff Randy Meeks.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">Such is the brilliance of Scream; it delivers big on scares, but what really sets it apart is its smartly written characters and a dark sense of humour that should put a smile on any horror fan\u2019s face.

While paying homage to scary classics like The Shining, Peele\u2019s directorial debut looks at the genre through a satirical lens, simultaneously exploring social critiques and giving thrill-seeking audiences a good fright.<\/p>\n<p>Starring Black Panther\u2019s Daniel Kaluuya, Get Out follows photographer Chris (Kaluuya), who travels to rural Upstate New York with his white girlfriend Rose (Allison Williams) to meet her middle-class family. However, when Chris notices the odd behaviours of Rose\u2019s parents and their strange neighbours, the trip takes a horrific turn.<\/p>\n<p>A gripping thriller with racial commentary woven throughout, Get Out\u2019s infusion of classic horror tropes with dark humour and thought-provoking imagery makes it one of the best films of 2017.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013 Lauren Morris,

the contemporary zombie movie with the release of George A Romero\u2019s independent horror Night of the Living Dead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;x_p1&quot;\">Shot on a tight budget and going on to earn more than 250 times what it cost to produce, the film is a masterpiece in creeping tension, with occasional bursts of shocking gore, as it follows seven people trapped in a farmhouse and besieged by cannibalistic corpses. But like all of Romero\u2019s best works, there\u2019s more to Night of the Living Dead than what\u2019s on the surface \u2013 it\u2019s also a searing piece of social commentary, tackling themes of racism as the film\u2019s Black hero Ben (Duane Jones) is mistreated by bigots who consider him as much a threat as the walking dead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;x_p1&quot;\">The film\u2019s ending is perhaps its masterstroke \u2013 no spoilers, but it\u2019s a twist rife with ambiguity, one which pays off the film\u2019s underlying themes in shocking fashion.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013 Morgan Jeffery, Executive Editor<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to watch:<\/strong> <a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Night-Living-Dead-Duane-Jones\/dp\/B075DP5TWZ?tag=radtim0b-21&amp;ascsubtag=radiotimes-0&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored&quot;

Though themes of social commentary were absolutely present in Night, Dawn is much a critique of American society in the 1970s \u2013 and in particular the rise of mass consumerism \u2013 as it is a horror film, with a gang of four \u2013 SWAT officers Roger (Scott Reiniger) and Peter (Ken Foree), plus husband and wife Stephen (David Emge) and Fran (Gaylen Ross) \u2013 taking refuge from the spreading zombie plague in a suburban shopping mall (then still something of a novelty in the US).<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;x_p1&quot;\">The zombies are no longer just the enemy, Dawn of the Dead tells us \u2013 they\u2019re us, a mindless mob blindly driven by a desire to consume above all else. The end result is a film that\u2019s sharp, horrific, funny and bleak in equal measure.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013 Morgan Jeffery, Executive Editor<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to watch:<\/strong> Order <a

original zombie trilogy, Day of the Dead is generally considered a weaker effort than its predecessors Night and Dawn (review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes has it at an 81 per cent approval rating, compared to its predecessors\u2019 90+ scores) \u2013 but in its own way, this 1985 film is every bit as powerful, entertaining and influential as what came before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;x_p1&quot;\">Exploring a central theme of science vs. military might \u2013 as personified by lead character Dr. Sarah Bowman\u2019s (Lori Crdille) clash with the unhinged Captain Rhodes (Joseph Pilato) \u2013 Day sees Romero continue to push the series in new and fascinating directions with the introduction of \u201cBub\u201d (Sherman Howard), a \u2018friendly\u2019 member of the undead horde taught to mimic human behaviour, introducing the concept of the semi-rehabilitated zombie which would later be explored in everything from Shaun of the Dead (2004) to the BBC TV series In the Flesh (2013).<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;x_p1&quot;\">Not only that, but who doesn\u2019t have time for a film where a character having his guts torn out instructs his zombie attackers to \u201cCHOKE

tension of sneaking back into your house after an illicit night out, every tiny noise spelling your possible doom, into a truly pulse-pounding thriller. You\u2019ll never look at a creaky stair in quite the same way again.<\/p>\n<p>Set in a near-future version of present-day Earth, we\u2019re dropped into a world where blind but hearing-sensitive aliens have wiped out most of human society. Those that are left survive by living in complete silence, with the slightest word or too-loud footstep drawing in a wave of the fast-moving monsters.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the fun in the film is seeing the arduous methods the lead characters take to avoid detection \u2013 soft board game pieces, steamed food under floorboards, long sanded paths that they walk on barefoot \u2013 but of course, it\u2019s also not too long before all the preparations go out of the window and a more traditional monster mash-up ensues.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013 Huw Fullerton, Sci-Fi and Fantasy

adaptation of Ira Levin\u2019s novel of the same name \u2013 an unsettling and chilling film which expertly builds tension to almost impossibly nightmarish levels.<\/p>\n<p>Mia Farrow gives one of the all time great performances as the titular Rosemary, who moves into an opulent new home in New York\u2019s Upper West Side along with her husband Guy, played by John Cassavetes.<\/p>\n<p>When Guy becomes close with the pair\u2019s slightly unusual neighbours, Rosemary begins to suspect something sinister is going on.
