Nightmare of the Halloween movies

Entering into everyone’s scariest and enjoyable holiday, people are trying to figure out what they want to be for Halloween. However, the one part of Halloween that people get the chills from are the many scary movies that are shown on ABC Family, SYFY and many other television networks.

It is a tradition that has been going on for a while. These television networks play a continuous variety of Halloween movies during this Halloween month to get everyone into the ghostly spirit. In the past, there have been some great scary movies that are shown to the public. Some that will make you scared in your own house, and those that are comedy scary movies for the family.

An example of a family scary movie would be the classic Harry Porter series. The series is played throughout the Halloween season and is one of the most anticipated movies to come on television, usually appearing on ABC Family. Harry Potter is a greatly known series about a boy who comes across life-threatening situations in order to survive from the Dark Lord. This movie series is a classic and is played throughout the entire year but more frequently during the Halloween season. 

In 2011, the movie “You’re Next” was released and is commonly watched through this season. The horror/thriller movie is about a family who gather together for a wedding anniversary when they become under attack by killers in masks. One of the victims who are under attack however, throws the killers for a curve and begins to fight back. “You’re Next” is admired for its mixture of both gory and heart racing, thriller scenes. Many positive, and some rather uninviting, reviews were written about this movie and it is greatly recommended to watch during the Halloween season for a few extra scares.

This October, a new installment of the Paranormal Activity series is being released.  “Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension” focuses on a family who attempt to protect their little daughter from evil spirits that they have captured on camera. This fifth Paranormal Activity is expected to receive only four stars out of ten. Due to the poor success and reviews from the other continuing movies of the original Paranormal Activity, it is easy to suspect that this fifth installment will do just as poorly. Many believe that the idea has just been too over used and there is simply no more that they can do with it and be thrilling. However, there are still many others who are excited to see how this movie turns out and expect nothing but great things from it. This movie will be released in both original format and Real 3D format.

This month can be expected to contain numerous amounts of both humorous and thrilling movies that are sure to impact viewers and bring them more into the Halloween spirit. Whether you are surrounded with young children this Halloween weekend or stuck on campus, movies are one of the best ways to get yourself in the holiday spirit.  All and all, this Halloween season is expected to be filled with thrills, chills and ghostly horrors that nobody can resist!
