As a kid I have no recollection of Halloween, it was all about Guy Fawks, or firework night as we called it in our house, but like a lot of things American ‘culture’ has seeped it’s way into British society whether it be Black Friday, Halloween or peanut butter, which is topping my toast as I sit here and not jam jelly.
I do love a Top Five and what better day to share with you my Top Five Halloween Horror Films:
1. The Shining
Released in 1980. A family with Jack Nicholson as Dad become the winter housesitters of a hotel in the mountains of Colorado. Nicholson’s character Jack Torrance is writing a book but the isolated hotel’s ghosts take hold of him and insanity takes over Torrance played magnificently by Nicholson whose face bursting through that door still sends shivers down my spine today.
Shelley Duvall and Danny Lloyd also starred.
Directed by Stanley Kubrick.
Adapted from a Stephen King novel.
