Boo!

There’s less than 20 days until the greatest holiday of the year takes place, Hallowe’en! The nights are drawing in earlier and there’s a bitter chill in the air. While horror films are great all year round, it’s October when the scariest and most terrifying films claw their way out of Hell and feast upon the petrified eyes of their viewers. This year, the world will be introduced to one of the most nerve-wrecking horror films of recent years. Staring Ethan Hawke, Sinister is out in cinemas now and is a must see!
