If Halloween to you screams pumpkin-spiced lattes, huge bowls of popcorn, fluffy socks, blankets and a night watching movies then we've got you. We've covered all the spooky specials on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+, and this time we're looking at Now TV.
The subscription service is one of the best for getting the newest releases, thanks in part to its owner Sky sharing everything on its cinema channels. Subscriptions for just its movies pass are available for £9.99 a month, though regularly runs offers for memberships including three months for £15.
So if you're after some of the newer releases, or even some big-ticket classics, Now might be the option for you. Here, we've picked out a handful of films to get stuck into whether you love horror or not.

Scream (2022)
The classic Scream, released in 1996, is one of the all-time great slasher films, so this latest instalment, the fifth of the series, is a welcome addition to the franchise. This film takes part 25 years after the original Woodsboro murders when yet another Ghostface begins targeting a bunch of teenagers.
Many of the original cast return for the spine-tingling sequel including Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette as Sidney, Gale and Dewey. Much to fans' delight, Roger L Jackson returned as the voice of the infamous Ghostface.
Mona Lisa and The Blood Moon
Starring Kate Hudson and Craig Robinson, this Sky original horror comedy follows a girl with unusual powers who escapes from a mental asylum and tries to make it on her own in New Orleans. She befriends a struggling single mother who sees a lucrative opportunity to make some fast cash, however, their crime spree soon draws in unwanted attention.
A Quiet Place Part II
This terrifying sequel picks up right where part one left off and it's just as terrifying as the first. It follows Emily Blunt's Evelyn Abbott as she tries once again to guide her family to safety in silence.
Forced to venture into the unknown, the Abbott family quickly realises that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats. Especially great for Halloween, the jump scares in this film are described as skilful scares that keep the viewer clutching to the edge of their seat.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife
One for the family, or for the Scaredy Cats who prefer to watch the film and not the other side of a pillow, Paul Rudd heads up this family classic, which also features Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, and Sigourney Weaver reprising their characters from the original Ghostbusters films.
Zombieland
Halloween movie nights aren't complete with a good zombie film, and this one takes the cake. Unlikely duo Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson team up to survive the apocalypse, meeting Emma Stone and Bill Murray along the way.
Zombieland is definitely a choice to end the night on, as there's no way it will give you such a thing as nightmares. Instead, you'll be saying goodnight with some of its funniest quotes and promising to revisit it each year.
