‘Tis the season of thrills and frights, as another Halloween arrives, bringing tricks or treats to pop culture fans in search of entertainment this year.
But why console yourself to just what’s on the television or streaming services this year when there’s a plethora of films either debuting at your local cinema, or making a welcome return to celebrate anniversary screenings in 2025?
It’s a means of avoiding trick-or-treaters, anyway.
We’ve taken a look at screenings taking place at Odeon this Halloween season, with the cinema chain offering a host of new scares and old classics; from family favourites suitable for all ages to those cult classics that are only for those with an iron stomach and nerves.
