The spooky, scary, terrifying, shiver-inducing, look-under-your-bed time of year we love it is back – Halloween season. It’s the perfect excuse to play some of your favourite horror films.
If you’re going to show films for a movie night or just want to create the perfect spooky vibe, you’ll need to do one thing to be safe… and that’s make sure you’re covered from copyright infringement.
Keep yourself protected with the MPLC Single Title Movie Licence. It’s easy to obtain, scarily affordable, and takes effect immediately. That way you can start screening creepy movies like these:
The Amityville Horror
Your clientele won’t want to “get out” if you show either version of this creepy story. The original from 1979 stars James Brolin and Margot Kidder and has an old-school cozy vibe to it. Meanwhile, the 2005 remake starring Ryan Reynolds is a surprisingly dark turn for the usually comedic star.
Poltergeist
This 2015 remake of the classic Tobe Hooper movie stars Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, and Jared Harris. Featuring clowns, ghosts, and crackling televisions, this updated vision sees a suburban family under attack from vengeful spirits.
The Omen
Another classic of the genre, this movie was helmed by veteran director Richard Donner (later known for Superman and The Goonies) and stars Gregory Peck. Your clients will be riveted by the atmospheric look of the 70s film as Peck grapples with the idea that his adopted son Damien may be evil incarnate.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
Picking up 12 years after the first, returning director Tobe Hooper continues the story of the murderous Sawyer family. This outing is oddly more humorous than the first though, making it a fun watch for the horror fans.
