Don’t you love Halloween?
My nieces are dressing up as a witch and a black cat and are going trick or treating with their parents. I was surprised to hear from London-based friends that they were not allowed to go TTing but I guess life is different in the sticks!
My sister and I love watching horror movies, even though not many people come with us any more as we scream too much and dig our nails in. I also tend to watch the entire thing through my fingers so what’s the point? Here are a few of my favourites:
Poltergeist – fabulous with the right amount of native American graves, psychics and creepy children. I once poured a cup of hot tea all over my sister when I jumped in fright. Carol Anne….
Exorcist – very very scary. Particularly as it starts off with azaan, the Muslim call to prayer! Eek! Religion terrifies me!
Nightmare on Elm St – these films formed such an integral part of my teen life so how I could I not include them? Favourite scene is when a young Johnny Depp is swallowed by a water bed.
Witchboard – not a well-known one but Very Scary movie about a woman who starts playing with a ouija board with terrible consequences.
The Grudge – brilliant! Buffy actress is wonderful in this Japanese remake.
However you get spooked tonight, enjoy the fright!
