Ghost movies

Happy Halloween everyone. I hope you are enjoying your week. This weeks final post is that of Ghost movies.

It would be impossible not to include Ghost in the list. I know it won the oscar for best picture but I put that down to the year being not so great on the films that could have won when compared to other years. Still, it has a good cast and is an easy watch.

Other great Ghost movies include:

Ghostbusters - can't go wrong with Dan Ackroyd, Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver. The special effects are a little dated but it is still a wonderful film. The sequels are also easy viewing but the original is wonderful.

Casper - good hearted family entertainment with a great cast.

Blackbeard's Ghost - this is definitely one for children. Peter Ustinov is wonderful in this film and the comedy is timeless.

A Chinese Ghost Story - not for the little ones but is a fantastic Hong Kong Film that is definitely worth a watch

The Others - a great scary movie with Nicole Kidman which I have recommended in other posts

Dark Water - the Japanese do horror movies very well and this one is no exception

The Shining - unmissable Kubrick classic

The Sixth Sense - again a wonderful movie with a great cast - Toni Collette and Bruce Willis are fantastic.

The Orphanage - not a typical horror film but is a great watch

The Frighteners - I love this Peter Jackson movie - well balanced script that is handled wonderfully by the actors

House - another Japanese horror that is definitely worth a watch. It is not your typical horror film and is beautifully put together.

The Exorcist - a scary classic that will appeal to the horror fans.

Again, the list is not going to include every single movie with a Ghost in it. It should be enough to get you started. Any glaring omissions, let me know.

That's it for this week. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
