Trick or treat?

Halloween is coming up on the 31st October so to get into the spirit of things (excuse the pun) we've got Horror DVD and Horror Blu-ray deals where you can save up to 60% off! Why not get your friends round, grab some popcorn and host your own Halloween viewing marathon this long weekend.

Here's a list of our Top 10 Horror Films of all time to help you decide what to watch:

10. Suspiria
Suspiria is a 1977 Italian horror film directed by Dario Argento. It follows an American ballet student who transfers to a prestigious dance academy in Germany, which she discovers is controlled by a coven of witches. The film is now a cult classic mainly due to the score of the film which was composed by Italian rock band, Goblin. They captured the suspense so well which is key in any horror film. Packed with vicious violence, ultra gory effects and dazzling cinematic set pieces, Suspiria is a gruesomely gothic masterpiece of the macabre.

9. Nightmare On Elm Street
“Don’t fall asleep” – words to live by for Elm Street teens and for anyone that's watched this classic horror. Currently Wes Craven is celebrating 30 years of ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ by tweeting facts about the film such as Freddy Krueger's appe­arance was inspired by a man who was staring at Craven through his window one night!

We've got the whole collection available featuring all 8 Nightmare movies released from 1984 to 2003.

The Australian outback is a lonely, isolated place, the perfect playground for a sadistic serial killer with a penchant for bloodthirsty sport. A red wasteland, the stifling, oppressive heat isn’t the only menace that should be feared. Psychopathic pig-shooter Mick Taylor is the last man any outback traveller wants to meet and now his irreverent attitude towards human life has escalated to a sadistic new level.

Wolf Creek 2 DVD for just $29.99
Wolf Creek 2 Blu-ray for just $39.99
Wolf Creek 2 Blu-ray Directors Cut for just $39.99
