Halloween on the silver screen

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Halloween is here and that means hordes of horror films at the cinema. There are special events happening all around the UK and we've listed the biggest ones here to help you find something suitably spooky to do on or near the big day. Some films are accompanied by special events and there are child-friendly films as well as ones that will make grown adults one to sleep with the lights on (if they can sleep at all). Check out what's going on near you.
