Will Bowman said his favourite was Halloween III: Season of the Witch, quoting the line: "You wouldn't believe how we got it here, oh, we had a time of it!"

Hayley Ellen Watson said: "For the cheese - Hocus Pocus.

"For the story - Saw or The Descent, Silence of the Lambs. Anything with a good storyline and not cheap jump scares and gore for the sake of it.

Carl Sutherland said: "Honestly... HalloweenTown."
