Must-watch horror offerings for spine-chilling thrills this Halloween
Cape Argus
|October 30, 2025
WITH the spooky season here, it’s the perfect time to dive into some spine-tingling classics and new horror hits.
Monster: The Ed Gein Story
This is the third instalment of Ryan Murphy’s Monsters series, as it delves into the life of Ed Gein, who murdered at least two people and stole the bodies of many more from their graves.
Gein was an object of intense fascination in the middle of the 20th century, his crimes serving as inspiration for Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
* Streaming on Netflix.
Get Out
This is a classic psychological horror film about Chris, a young African-American man, who visits his white girlfriend’s parents for the weekend.
He is uneasy about this visit as he is worried about how his girlfriend’s family will react to him being black.
However, the family seems overly accommodating, and Chris notices that something seems off about the family’s black helpers.
* Streaming on Netflix.
