Five Must-Watch Films for a Perfectly Haunting Halloween Night
By Matilda Collard, Second Year, English
Skip the clubs this Halloween and have a perfectly spooky night in with these five handpicked films.
The Exorcist
Often hailed as the scariest film of all time, The Exorcist remains a benchmark of horror cinema more than five decades after its release.
William Friedkin’s tale of a young girl possessed by a demonic entity was considered so terrifying it was banned from home entertainment release in the UK until 1999.
With iconic moments including spinning heads, levitating beds and that infamous pea soup scene, The Exorcist is regarded as one of the most influential films in the horror genre.
Blending psychological trauma with supernatural terror, it taps into our most primal fears to deliver a story of faith, fear and the limits of human understanding.
