If you need something to get you in the Halloween mood, you can’t get much better than 170 horror movies condensed into just under four minutes.
If you can name each and every one of them then you’re probably a bit too into the genre. Maybe you should go watch some romantic comedies or something?
This summer sees the release of The Amazing Spider-Man blockbuster – as I’m sure you’re aware. To celebrate the return of the famous comic book crime-fighter, Sony are giving people the chance to appear in their own Spider-Man adventure.
Fans are able to upload a photo of themselves, along with their friends, and edit this into the mural to create their own personalised Spider-Man poster. My Spidey-senses are tingling.
