Sky TV and NOW streamers are able to watch some essential horror movies this Halloween if they have signed up to Sky Cinema. The Sky movie channels, as well as the on-demand equivalent on NOW (aka NOW TV), broadcast some incredible horror movies – both new and old – which are ideal to watch in the run-up to All Hallows’ Eve this weekend. Halloween 2021 is officially taking place on Sunday, but if you love horror films we wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve made October a month-long event to celebrate the spooky season.

If you’re looking for a good horror film to watch on NOW or Sky TV with Sky Cinema then here are a few suggestions…

HALLOWEEN MOVIES ON SKY CINEMA – I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER

The 90s was a wonderful decade for horror films, with slashers making a resurgent comeback spurred on by the success of Scream.

One of the films that followed in the footsteps of Wes Craven’s iconic horror was 1997 hit I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Penned by Kevin Williamson, who also wrote the script for Scream and The Faculty, I Know What You Did Last Summer is one of the best examples of the 90s teen horror craze.

With an all-star cast for that era led by Jennifer Love Hewitt, I Know What You Did Last Summer is a great choice if you’re looking for something to watch this Halloween.

HALLOWEEN MOVIES ON SKY CINEMA – THE INVISIBLE MAN

Leigh Whannell’s follow-up to Upgrade is one of the best horrors in recent years.

Starring Elisabeth Moss as a woman who has escaped from her abusive ex-boyfriend, The Invisible Man is an allegory about the scars that being in an abusive relationship can leave behind.

Not only that, but it’s a brilliant, creepy horror which features some genius effects and scares.

If you get a chance, check-out the behind-the-scenes footage on YouTube after watching to see how the FX team created the havoc the titular invisible man leaves behind.

HALLOWEEN MOVIES ON SKY CINEMA – THE EVIL DEAD

The Evil Dead franchise is one of the most beloved horror series around, and launched the career of Sam Raimi – who went on to directed the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man films.

The first entry in the series, 1981’s The Evil Dead, isn’t as tongue-in cheek or as funny as the sequels.

But it features some great practical effects and camera work, and introduced audiences to one of the most iconic horror heroes – Bruce Campbell’s Ash.

HALLOWEEN MOVIES ON SKY CINEMA – THE SHINING

One of the most famous horror films ever, Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is an absolute masterpiece.

Featuring a typically brilliant performance from Jack Nicholson, plus one of the most iconic settings for a horror film, The Shining is an all-time classic that shouldn’t be missed.

Author Stephen King may not have been a fan, but it’s arguably the best film based on the prolific horror writer’s work.

HALLOWEEN MOVIES ON SKY CINEMA – URBAN LEGEND

Another 90s horror, Urban Legend may not immediately spring to mind when you think of that era.

But it’s a hugely entertaining horror that has a clever conceit, and boasts some big stars of that era in the cast (Tara Reid, Joshua Jackson).
