The latest addition to Prime Video’s collaboration with Blumhouse Television, Totally Killer, is a must-see slasher-comedy starring Kiernan Shipka, Julie Bowen, Randall Park and Oliva Holt. Thirty-five years after the shocking murder of three teens, the infamous “Sweet Sixteen Killer” returns on Halloween night to claim a fourth victim.
When teenager Jamie (Kiernan Shipka) encounters the killer and accidentally travels back in time to 1987, the year of the original killings, she teams up with her teen mom (Olivia Holt) to take down the killer once and for all.
Wes Craven’s 90s classic revitalised the slasher genre with Ghostface, a masked killer who terrorises high school student Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and her friends in the fictional town of Woodsboro. As more bodies pile up, the students and journalist Gail Weathers (Courtney Cox) band together to confront and expose the true identity of the killer.

While The Goonies is not strictly a horror movie, this adventure-comedy has enough eerie elements to make it a thrilling Halloween family favourite. The film follows a small group of misfit heroes led by Mikey (Sean Astin) and his older brother Brad (Josh Brolin), as they go on a treasure hunt to save their childhood home from foreclosure. The group race against a band of criminals known as the Fratellis and venture through underground tunnels and booby-trapped caves in search of the long-lost pirate treasure.
Expertly mixing horror with comedy, Edgar Wright’s cult classic British film follows real-life best friends Simon Pegg (Shaun) and Nick Frost (Ed) as they try to survive a zombie apocalypse, with a gang of unlikely cohorts.

This darkly comedic creature feature explores the mayhem caused by cute-as-a-button critters Gizmo and Co., who transform into mischievous monsters if not handled with care.

This one is a cult classic for a reason - cuddly pets, midnight snacks, and a town overrun by troublesome munchkins.
Gremlins is available to rent for £3.09 or buy for £7.99 on Prime Video.
