Halloween isn’t really celebrated here in The Netherlands, but I wished
it was. Because I love it and everything about this holiday. I usually have a
scary movie night on Halloween, but I never really shared anything about it on
my blog. This year I will. And I will do more of these in the future, whenever
I have a themed movie night. My favorite kind of ‘party’ to host.
This year we chose three films. All horror, but three very different
films. I won’t review them here, but will give you links to the reviews of the
movies we viewed.
My scary movie night partner in crime this year was my brother Frank,
who is a horror fan and has seen some of the most obscure films in the genre
and is an expert when it comes to scary films.
The first film we watched turned out to be the most shocking and heavy
one of them all: “Sinister”, starring Ethan Hawke. The film shines because of
its suspense and tension build-up and had some really big, effective jump
scares. I realized that my heart rate went way up when I watched “Sinister”.

Number two was a rewatch and a personal favorite for both of us: “Fright
Night”. The original version from 1985, with Chris Sarandon as Jerry Dandridge.
This film is not so much scary, but extremely entertaining, funny with horror
elements and a great 80s throwback. It was a nice change from the heavy
material we saw before. Check out my review for “Fright Night” HERE .
We finished with a movie I had never seen, but is one of Frank’s
favorite horror movies of all-time. And I think a favorite for most horror fans:
“Hellraiser”. This is scary because of the gore. It’s a body horror film with
pretty disturbing and bloody images. Also very eighties. You can read my review HERE .
