With that in mind, you might be wondering what new spooky options there are to enjoy on TV and streamers. In recent years, Netflix has been a place to go when it comes to new shows for spooky season, with Mike Flanagan often writing his own new adaptations in time for Halloween – including The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass.
That said, there is one major new Halloween show on a different streamer, with prequel series It: Welcome to Derry having recently released it's first episode on NOW (the episodes are also airing on Sky Atlantic).
Read on for our picks of the best TV shows and films showing this Halloween.
It: Welcome to Derry – Sky Atlantic and NOW
Taking place in 1962 – 27 years before the events of Andy Muschietti's 2017 film adaptation – it introduces several new characters while also seeing Bill Skarsgård reprise his role as Pennywise, the fearsome dancing clown.
This 1954 portmanteau horror from Ealing Studios tells five different ghost stories – including ones penned by HG Wells and EF Benson – after an architect goes to the home of a new client and finds that each of the inhabitants has a different story to tell.
"There's also much to raise the hair on the back of the neck in Robert Hamer's The Haunted Mirror, while the linking story involving architect Mervyn Johns brings the whole thing to a nightmarish conclusion."
Scream 3 – 10:10pm – BBC Three
This third entry sees Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) come out of hiding after the cast and crew of a movie dramatising her past experiences become the latest victims of a killer behind a Ghostface mask.
In our review of the film, we wrote that while it "lacks the bite" of the first two films, this threequel "features an engagingly prescient mystery about the dark side of Hollywood, and builds to an enjoyably tense climax" with "some charm to be found in the campy high jinks".
Don't Look Now - 11:40pm, BBC Two
Sutherland and Christie play grieving parents who travel to Venice and meet two unusual sisters, one of whom claims to be able to communicate with their dead child, leading to some extremely bizarre events.
One more late night horror option on the terrestrial channels is this 2012 adaptation of Susan Hill's gothic horror novel of the same name, starring Daniel Radcliffe in the lead role.
We gave it a three-star review on its release, calling it "classy if cliché-ridden" and writing that "director James Watkins does a fine job re-creating the Hammer mood, atmosphere and style while nimbly chasing shadowy scares via sudden loud noises and close-up shock cuts".
Is It Cake? Halloween – Netflix
The format is the same as ever, with a raft of starry guests tasked with identifying whether a given object is the real thing or just a recreation made from cake, with each of this run's options having a Halloween theme.
There are four episodes to enjoy in all, with guests across the series including Brooklyn Nine-Nines's Chelsea Peretti and What We Do In The Shadows star Harvey Guillén.
Disney Twisted Wonderland: The Animation – Disney Plus
The school has seven dormitories, each based on a different Disney villain, which Yuu soon finds himself navigating as he gets used to his new life.
The first episode has just launched, and more will be coming to Disney Plus in the coming weeks.
