In addition to providing you with a thrilling night in, these films will help you to finally plan what you're going to wear to those spooky soir&eacute;es.

Late October is the perfect opportunity to delve into pumpkin carving, eat unlimited amounts of candy, and for some,&nbsp;leave the house wearing Agent Provocateur head to toe (with mouse ears, duh). That being said, it is&nbsp;Halloween after all, so it&#39;s also important to have an element of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/kim-petras-halloween-music-interview-2019">spooky</a>. So if you&rsquo;re into horror movies, we&rsquo;ve compiled a list of the most stylish-slash-scary films. Each of the below will help you get some costume inspiration, all while getting you in the spirit.

&nbsp;

Bonnie &amp; Clyde, 1967, directed by Arthur Penn

This film is a Neo-noir classic, starring&nbsp;Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway (Name a more iconic duo; I&rsquo;ll wait!). Based on the true story of notorious crime couple Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, this costume idea is great for couples&mdash;you might remember Kourtney Kardashian and ex-boyfriend Younes Bendjima rocking it a couple of years ago.&nbsp;Pair the film with a good glass of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/sicilian-frappato-wine-summer-drink-guide-2019">red wine</a> and you&#39;ve got yourself a perfect Friday night in.&nbsp;

Black Swan, 2010, directed by Darren Aronofsky

The fact that Aronofsky directed this movie tells you&nbsp;it&rsquo;s definitely not for the faint at heart. Set in NYC, the movie tells the story of a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/james-whiteside-abt-interview-2019">ballerina</a> (Nathalie Portman) whose career rules over&nbsp;every aspect of her life. This psychological thriller quickly veers into horror territory as it presents a cautionary tale about what happens when we strive for something that doesn&rsquo;t exist&mdash;perfection. Creating a spooky ballet look is pretty straightforward&mdash;if you&#39;ve ever been a dancer, just grab an old tutu out of the depths of your closet (and if not, head to your nearest Repetto), put your hair into a sleek bun, and top it all off with a makeup look that&#39;s the dark version of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/euphoria-halloween-costume-makeup-looks-2019">Euphoria&nbsp;inspiration</a> that&#39;s been sweeping the fashion world.

The Virgin Suicides, 2000, directed by Sofia Coppola&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/pajamas-daywear-2018">Babydoll</a> dresses, pastel-colored rosaries, and the resurrection of the &#39;70s suburban aesthetic are&nbsp;the byproducts of&nbsp;The Virgin Suicides.&nbsp;Photographer <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/gucci-bookstore-2018">Petra Collins</a> admitted that growing up, she&nbsp;found great inspiration in&nbsp;the movie&rsquo;s visuals.&nbsp;Based on the novel by Jeffrey Eugenides and directed by Sofia Coppola, the story is told from the perspective of the suburban boys,&nbsp;who have been forever marked by the twisted, self-inflicted&nbsp;faith of the five Lisbon sisters who live in their town. From lace to pastels to flowers, the iconic&nbsp;female characters spend plenty of time wearing <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/save-the-date/tvf-for-dvf-new-collection-event-2019">dreamy looks</a> that feel right at home amidst fashion&#39;s modern embrace&nbsp;of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/loewe-spring-2020">femininity</a>.

Climaxx, 2019, directed by Gaspar No&eacute;

Gaspar No&eacute;&nbsp;is chic, but also very&nbsp; spooky. His work often addresses taboo subjects, as he&#39;s always liked&nbsp;to shock his audience. His most recent movie, Climaxx, tells the story of a dance troupe who takes over an secluded, empty school so they can rehearse for an upcoming show. The crew&rsquo;s rehearsals quickly turn into a dark and horrific nightmare as they encounter powerful drugs. No&eacute;&rsquo;s ability to provoke our senses and make us question our morals make&nbsp;Climaxx&nbsp;a standout&nbsp;horror film. With athleisure and nostalgic clubwear all over the place these days, it won&#39;t be hard to recreate a look from this movie if you decide you want to take its artsy inspiration to your next party.

Midsommar, 2019, directed by Ari Aster&nbsp;

From the director who gave us Hereditary, Midsommar is&nbsp;a mix between The Virgin Suicides&rsquo;&nbsp;aesthetic and elements of&nbsp;Climaxx&rsquo;s plot. Think lace-and-<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/save-the-date/the-last-day-caochella-2019">flower-crown</a> aesthetic but instead of being trapped in an empty school, the American protagonists&nbsp;find themselves unable to escape a Swedish commune after a friend from college invited them. The midsummer festival begins as an idyllic retreat, but the psychedelic-induced rituals rapidly take a twisted turn. The film&#39;s brightness stands out most, suggesting the spookiest thing of all may be to head out for Halloween in the kind of garb you might see at <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/scandinavian-fashion-s-forward-thinking-creativity">Copenhagen Fashion Week</a>.

The Shining, 1980, directed by Stanley Kubrick&nbsp;

In one of Kubrick&#39;s most iconic (and unsettling) films,&nbsp;a family heads to an abandoned and isolated hotel in Colorado in an attempt to cure the father&rsquo;s&nbsp;(Jack Nicholson)&nbsp;writing block. As the story progresses, a haunted presence veers the father into violent behavior as his son begins to learn&nbsp;of the hotel&rsquo;s dark past. The film&#39;s twins, beyond leaving a creepy impression that remains strong nearly four decades later, have inspired <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/wednesday-addams-fashion-prada-halloween-2019">countless sartorial interpretations</a> over the year, including for Undercover&nbsp;Spring 2018, which put the childlike blue dresses in a new light with beaded drops of blood. Grab your most lookalike friend and get ready to freak out fellow guests at the&nbsp;next Halloween party on your schedule.
