Top ten spooky books, movies and tv from Dark Angel and Twisted Heart author Eden Maguire

In no particular order -

WUTHERING HEIGHTS by Emily Bronte

The most intense, passionate love story with strange spooky scenes such as the child-ghost knocking at the window during a storm, begging to be let back in.

TOLLUND MAN by Seamus Heaney

A poem about the discovery of an ancient mummified body in a peat bog. The man had been hanged.

AFFINITY by Sarah Waters

A novel about spiritualism which keeps you guessing right to the end.

HAMLET by William Shakespeare

The ghost scenes - there couldn't be a more terrifying opening to a play than the ghost of Hamlet's father walking the battlements in the fog.

THE KILLING

TV series, the Danish version - slow moving, gripping, with scary scenes of the murder and a tense unravelling of the mystery

THE BLACK CAT by Edgar Allen Poe

A story about a murderer who bricks up his dead wife's body in the cellar - he almost gets away with it until the cat gives him away...!

GHOST

The movie - the sound track pulls at your heart strings

THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES by Arthur Conan Doyle

The Dartmoor setting, the fog, the terrible, howling cry of the hound...

THE EXORCIST

The movie. I can't watch this all the way through - it's too terrifying.

THE WORST WITCH

Spooky and funny at the same time. Like Harry Potter, but with humour!
