NZ On Scream

Halloween is when monsters walk the streets, goblins tap on the door, vampires prefer jaffas to neck-biting, and everyone wants a treat. It's also the perfect excuse to pull the curtains, dim the lights, and let something suitably sinister flicker across the screen. We've rounded up a collection to see you through the spookiest time of the year: horrors and thrillers to rent when you want a proper fright, a haul of free titles that won't cost you a single lolly, and spooky classics to keep the littlest monsters happily hiding behind the couch. From Māori Gothic to genre-bending laughs, it's all here — no trick, all treat.
