If You’ve Got Just One Night — Go Full Zombie Mode
Why stop at one horror movie when you can double the undead fun?
Start with George A. Romero’s legendary 1968 masterpiece, Night of the Living Dead. This black-and-white horror classic practically invented the zombie genre as we know it. A group of strangers trapped in a farmhouse fights to survive as waves of the undead close in. Its raw terror and social undertones still resonate more than half a century later.
Then, lighten the mood — just a bit — with Jim Jarmusch’s darkly funny The Dead Don’t Die (2019). Starring Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, Danny Glover, and Selena Gomez, it’s an absurd, deadpan take on small-town America facing the zombie apocalypse. Come for the laughs, stay for the satire.
If You Have a Whole Day — Feast on Dracula’s Legacy
The world’s most famous vampire never goes out of style. Spend your Halloween day following Dracula through the ages — with three must-watch adaptations that reveal how the Count has evolved across generations.
- Dracula (1979) — Directed by John Badham, this elegant adaptation stars Frank Langella as the seductive bloodsucker and Laurence Olivier as his eternal nemesis, Professor Van Helsing.
- Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) — Francis Ford Coppola’s lavish gothic vision features Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, and Anthony Hopkins. The costumes, the romance, and the horror — all unforgettable.
- Dracula (2020) — Created by Sherlock’s Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, this miniseries reimagines Dracula for the modern age, starring Claes Bang as the Count and Dolly Wells as a gender-swapped Van Helsing.
If You’ve Got the Entire Weekend — Survive the Apocalypse
There’s no better time to revisit the zombie saga that redefined modern horror TV: The Walking Dead.
Spanning 11 intense seasons (2010–2022), the show follows Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), a sheriff’s deputy who wakes from a coma to discover the world overrun by the undead. What begins as a fight for survival becomes a deep exploration of humanity, morality, and hope amid the ruins.
Even after the main story ends, the universe lives on through thrilling spin-offs:
- Fear the Walking Dead – Expands the outbreak’s origins.
- The Walking Dead: Dead City – Follows Maggie and Negan into post-apocalyptic New York.
- The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – Takes the beloved crossbow-wielding survivor to France for a new adventure.
Before Halloween Ends — One Last Must-Watch
If you’re ready to take a break from monsters and mayhem, revisit A Star Is Born (2018). Directed by Bradley Cooper and starring Lady Gaga, this romantic musical drama tells the story of a struggling musician and an aspiring singer who find love and heartbreak in the spotlight.
It’s emotional, beautifully shot, and filled with unforgettable songs like Shallow — a hauntingly perfect way to close out a dramatic weekend. But hurry — it’s leaving streaming platforms soon.
