The Exorcist is a horror film that remains a classic to this day, over 50 years later - not much else needs to be said. Its sequel, meanwhile, has a tougher fight for such a reputation but it’s one of my all-time favourite films and remains so with each Halloween viewing. 4.5/5, 5/5

Another year, another Halloween marathon - my full list can be seen here:
