Wunmi Mosaku and Sope Dirisu in "His House" by Remi Weekes -
Netflix
No door-to-door candy this year, but no way to miss the pumpkin festival anyway.
"20 Minutes" offers a selection of films on physical media or on platforms to get you in the mood.
And some accessories to go with it.
Ready to celebrate Halloween ghouls, ghosts and other monsters?
Yes, of course, although the stroll through the streets in search of goodies is likely to be rather quiet this year.

20 Minutes still
offers you a selection of films to thrill those around you without leaving your home.
All are accessible on DVD or streaming with a few clicks.
And you can even replay the film at home with the handful of accessories that we recommend.
So grab your favorite bonbecs and let's go!
If you are surrounded by children under 10
So there, obviously, we will have to take it slow.
There are two wonderful possibilities available to you.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
by Henry Selick is the perfect film to enchant the youngest with singing and dancing monsters in a universe created by Tim Burton.
Genndy Tartakovsky's
Hotel Transylvania
saga
is also a success in the field of laughter around a cute vampire and his friends.
The accessories
For
The Nightmare
Before
Christmas
: a carving pumpkin to pay homage to the hero.
For
Hotel Transylvania
: vampire dentures to try to say "blablabla" like Dracula without spitting out his Tagada strawberries.
You celebrate Halloween with teens
Welcome to Zombieland
and
Back to Zombieland
by Ruben Fleischer are for you.
The hunt for the living dead of a group of merry drilles armed to the teeth is irresistible and rhythmic.
With an irresistible Woody Harrelson, dynamic Emma Stone and Bill Murray as a bonus!
Bursts of laughter and shivers guaranteed.
On the entertainment side, we cannot recommend
enough Zombillénium
by Arthur de Pins and Alexis Ducors on an amusement park run by an evil entity.
Accessories to plan: For
Zombielands
: water pistols (firearms are prohibited in France).
For
Zombillénium
: daddy's bard to have the impression of being in an amusement park.
You are between adults
His House
by Rémi Weeks (only available on Netflix from this Friday) is a real good surprise.
Sudanese migrants are haunted there by a witchdoctor and horrific memories of civil war.
The director oscillates between creepy dreamlike and even more terrifying reality in an anxiety-provoking atmosphere.
Michael Haneke's
Funny Games
is also a must see in adult horror film.
Whether it's the Austrian version of 1997 or the American version of 2007, the sadistic killers who slaughter a family make you want to double-lock themselves at home.
Accessories
For
His House
: a doll and a barbecue (to summon the spirits without setting the house on fire).
For
Funny Games
: a golf club, white gloves, and eggs (you'll understand why when you see the movie and you'll be relieved that you're not allowed to visit your neighbors).
You are with the loved one
Narcizo Ibanez Serrador's
Revolt of the Year 2000 is
going to have a lot of fun for you as long as you have a black sense of humor.
A couple try to escape murderous children on a sun-drenched island, and you'll look at the pinatas differently after seeing this Spanish horror classic.
Robert Fuest's
Abominable Dr Phibes
is romantic at will, if we consider it romantic to see Vincent Price take inspiration from the Seven Plagues of Egypt in order to avenge his wife.
It's totally crazy and incredibly British.
The accessories
For
The Revolt of the year 2000
: a life-size mannequin (unless you prefer to use your partner but we don't recommend it), a rope and a stick.
For
L'Abominable Dr Phibes
: a violin (preferably white, otherwise cookware will also make music).
You are alone)
David Lowery's
Ghost Story
isn't really scary but it shares the loneliness and anguish of a lonely specter which is perfectly freaking out in these troubled times.
Casey Affleck moves even under the sheet of this ghost whose desperate wandering fills the heart with poetry and darkness.
Leigh Whannell's
Invisible Man
is also a good idea to feel like sharing Elisabeth Moss' adventure as a woman persecuted by her ex whom she cannot see (obviously, he is invisible!).
After this film, you will feel happy not to be (badly) accompanied!
The accessories
For
A Ghost Story
: a white or flowered sheet with holes for the eyes (like that… you can haunt yourself: practical).
For
Invisible Man
: no need for accessories since we can't see him.
Just shout out loud (but not too loudly, otherwise beware of the men in white).
You are a "roommate"
Between friends, it is forbidden!
But not in a roommate…
Evil Dead
by Sam Raimi sees the holidays of a group of friends turn into a nightmare.
These morons have read the
Book of the Dead
and fail to get rid of the aggressive and spiky creatures they have awakened.
Halloween
in any version whatsoever is obviously circumstantial even if we have a weakness for that of John Carpenter.
Seeing people being slaughtered by the imperturbable Michael Myers is always festive.
The accessories
For
Evil Dead
: the
Book of the Dead
(order it in "click & collect" to support the small business).
Okay, this book doesn't exist.
Pity.
For
Halloween
: a mask and you've got it, even if you're not a psychopathic killer armed with a butcher's leaf.
