8 Movies That Make Halloween Look Cooler Than It Really Is

4. Alternatively, Halloween Makes You Throw Caution To The Wind... (The Blair Witch Project: 1999)

Blair Witch Project Perhaps this is more of the same...after all, taking on a deranged killer is pretty much a stupid thing to do, unless you have no other option. However, movies seem to suggest that because it's Halloween, you'll forget all about being sensible and wander off into danger. Take the hapless trio that is Heather, Mike and Josh. If you go into the woods today you're in for a big surprise'. To quote this old children's rhyme, they certainly did that. And no, it wasn't a teddy bears' picnic. No, it's a friggin scary-arsed witch! Now I get that this was a love/hate film but it terrified me at the cinema. The final scene in the house scared the hell out of me. But I digress... My point is, they went looking for proof that the Blair Witch exists. Well they got it. Stupid people. It killed them. Can't get more conclusive then that. The rule here is that if you think for a second that a terrifying force exists, don't go looking for it. It isn't cool. Not one bit.
