It'd wouldn't be Halloween without the movies that go with it.
Luckily for us, some of the best All Hallow's Eve flicks to ever grace the silver screen are being shown in cinemas around the city this spooky season.
We had a nose around to find some of the best on offer...
Where and when: Friday, Oct 28, Dublin Unitarian Church
Starring: Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianna Wiest
Plot: A solitary man with scissors for hands is brought into a new community after years of loneliness. Things don't run smoothly.
Our thoughts: Indulge in a bit of nostalgia as a young Johnny Depp features in his debut Tim Burton movie, back when it was still okay to like him
Where and when: Friday, Oct 28, IFI
Starring: Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis, John Getz
Plot: A brilliant scientist creates a machine for teleporting matter, but inadvertently splices his DNA with that of fly. Cue a slow, gruesome transformation...
Our thoughts: A must-see for true fans of Goldblum and vintage body horror flicks
Where and when: Friday, Oct 28, IFI
Starring: Dee Wallace, M Emmet Walsh, Billy Green Bush
Plot: A race of small, furry aliens invade a small farming town. Turns out their favourite food is people
Our thoughts: Kinda like a hardcore version of Gremlins
Where and when: Friday, Oct 28, The Sugar Club
Starring: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette
Plot: A ghost-masked killer is hunting down teenagers in a small town and the race is on for our heroine Sidney to find the killer before he finds her
Our thoughts: Part slasher, part comedy, this '90s horror has great fun at the expense of its genre
Where and when: Sun, Oct 30, The Light House Cinema
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd
Plot: A family is stuck in an isolated hotel for the winter, where the father finds himself driven to murder by the building's ghostly inhabitants
Our thoughts: If you only watch one horror movie this Halloween, make it this masterpiece
Where and when: Sunday, Oct 30, The Sugar Club
Starring: Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver
Plot: Three former parapsychology professors decide to set up a service as spectral exterminators. Inevitably, they have to save the world from a giant marshmallow monster. Ain't it always the way
Our thoughts: Scrub from your mind this year's lacklustre reboot by revisiting this Bill Murray gem
Where and when: Monday, Oct 31, The Light House Cinema
Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence, Tony Moran
Plot: After six-year-old Michael Myers kills his own sister, he's sent to a mental hospital for 15 years. When Myers escapes, he decides to return home and wreak some havoc.
Our thoughts: You know it's an iconic Halloween movie when it's named after the season itself
