A movie guide for those who want to enjoy spooky season without their hands over their eyes
Photo: Vulture, Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox and Universal Pictures Halloween can be a pretty lonely time if you’re an adult who’s also a scaredy-cat. It’s a season when everyone else wants to watch the goriest horror films and pay money for haunted-house “experiences” where people jump out at you covered in blood.
Edward Scissorhands There is one true king of creepy-but-not-terrifying: Tim Burton. The director made his name in the ’90s with fun, eerie films like Beetlejuice, Corpse Bride, Ed Wood, and 1990’s fantastic Edward Scissorhands. The film follows a man with, yes, scissors for hands as he’s adopted by a suburban family, takes on a new hairdressing career, and comes up against scared, cruel locals who just want to paint him as a monster.
Ghostbusters Ghostbusters is about a gang of paranormal scientists who team up to fight the ghosts that haunt and harass their neighborhood … but you already knew that. What makes it the perfect Halloween film, other than its subject matter, is the not infrequent veers it takes into frightful territory — when Dr. Venkman’s would-be girlfriend, Dana, is possessed by Zuul, an evil demigod bent on opening the gate between dimensions — without being too scary.
Jennifer’s Body Teen flick Jennifer’s Body is a must-watch. It’s a little gory at times, but the initially badly received and recently reappraised Megan Fox–starring film has more than earned its place in a spooky Hall of Fame. Directed by Karyn Kusama and written by Diablo Cody, the movie centers on a girl named Jennifer who goes on a murderous rampage after being killed as a sacrifice by a rock band.
Death Becomes Her Death Becomes Her was pretty divisive on first release, but like many of the movies on this list, its campy humor has given it new life. The film stars legendary actresses Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn as fiercely competitive rivals who, after a lifetime of fighting, both drink a potion that promises them eternal youth — with some caveats.
