Spooky season is well and truly underway.

Only two more weeks until Halloween, in case you were wondering.

If that isn’t scary enough in itself, we don’t know what is.

If you love being scared, then you’ll love our top pick for tonight’s movie schedule.

And if you think you’re a film expert, why not take this week’s Movie Quiz?

But, enough chat! Let’s get to what you’re really here for; to figure out how you’re spending your Sunday evening.

Here’s JOE’s top picks for the best movies on your telly tonight (16 October).

The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time – Horror Channel – 7pm

This franchise had jumped the shark (literally and figuratively) long before this.

Spectre – ITV2 – 8pm

Not Daniel Craig’s worst outing as Bond, but certainly not his best either.

The High Note – RTÉ Two – 9pm

Flat in some places, soars in others. See what we did there?

The Innkeepers – Horror Channel – 9pm

If you’re thinking of booking a getaway in a small hotel sometime soon… maybe avoid this one.

It’s Complicated – Comedy Central – 9pm

Boy meets girl. Boy divorces girl. Boy meets girl ten years later. Girl falls in love with architect, but also with boy? Jeez, this is complicated.

Coogan’s Bluff – ITV4 – 9pm

Clint Eastwood stars as the renegade cop who won’t take no for an answer, despite what those by-the-books city slickers think. Not unlike another action hero…

The Void – Horror Channel – 11pm

Our top pick for tonight is a freaky supernatural horror that will have you watching through your hands before bedtime.

A group of people find themselves trapped in a hospital by a weird cult, and some beings that aren’t quite of this world…

If you love 80s horror and a touch of Lovecraft, you should definitely check this out.

Death Race – ITV4 – 11.05pm

A wrongfully convicted man fights for his life in a dystopian death race overseen by a maniacal prison warden. Hilarity ensues.

The Intruder – Channel 4 – 12am

And you thought YOUR landlord was a lot.
