When it comes to horror films, my favourite subgenre is Supernatural films filled with ghosts, spirits and demons, theres something quite unsettling about battling a force that you can’t see and is incredibly hard to hurt as they’re already dead.

Below are my top 5 supernatural horror films to watch this Halloween, let me know in the comments below if you agree with me or what top 5 you would pick.
