If horror films are off-limits due to an over-active imagination, or you’re simply a self-confessed scaredy-cat, you can still get in the spooky Halloween spirit without risking nightmares. Just swap terror for nostalgia with these cult classics...
Five Classic Halloween Films (that aren’t actually scary)
1. Edward Scissor Hands
Tim Burton’s gothic fairytale with Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder is a beautiful, melancholy piece of magic.
2. Beetlejuice
The supernatural comedy that never gets old, thanks to Michael Keaton’s bizarre, creepy, and downright hilarious performance.
3. Hocus Pocus
A 90s gem that just wouldn’t get made today – few on-screen witches have been better than this iconic trio.
4. The Rocky Horror Picture Show
If you can find a singalong screening near you, we can’t think of a better way to celebrate Halloween (than in fishnets).
5. Labyrinth
David Bowie. Disturbing puppets. Bonkers plot. A surreal, cinematic masterpiece, that cannot be beaten.
