What better way to avoid the door knockers this Halloween than a trip to your local cinema to catch one of these frighteningly good releases this season?

‘Tis the season of thrills and frights, as another Halloween arrives, bringing tricks or treats to pop culture fans in search of entertainment this year.

But why console yourself to just what’s on the television or streaming services this year when there’s a plethora of films either debuting at your local cinema, or making a welcome return to celebrate anniversary screenings in 2025?

It’s a means of avoiding trick-or-treaters, anyway.

We’ve taken a look at screenings taking place at Odeon this Halloween season, with the cinema chain offering a host of new scares and old classics; from family favourites suitable for all ages to those cult classics that are only for those with an iron stomach and nerves.

You can also take advantage of seeing more than one film at your next cinema outing, with Odeon offering their myLIMITLESS subscription service; you can enjoy 10% off food and drink, 10% off tickets for friends and family and even infinite premium screen upgrades to iSense and 3D. For pricing and all other information, you can check out Odeon’s dedicated page to myLIMITLESS.

But for the 2025 Halloween season, what’s coming to - or returning - to our silver screens this month?
