With two public holidays and Halloween festivities around the corner, Hongkongers have more reason now to troop to theatres to catch the latest October movies, which cover everything from thrilling to action-packed to downright scary. Here are our top picks for October movies you just can&#8217;t miss. &nbsp;
Venom
Marvel Studios is back with Venom, a superhero movie about reporter Eddie Brock (played by Tom Hardy) who acquires the powers of a symbiote, giving rise to an alter-ego &#8220;Venom&#8221;. A spin-off from the Spiderman franchisee, expect the movie to be packed with CGI effects and larger-than-life action sequences. A must-see for Marvel fans!

Destination Wedding
With a name like &#8216;Destination Wedding&#8216;, this could only be a rom-com, and romantic it is from the word go, building on the tried and tested formula of two people who start off by disliking each other before eventually falling in love. With veterans like Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder playing leads, the chemistry should be crackling though.

A Star is Born
Bradley Cooper&#8217;s directorial debut charts the journey of an ageing musician who helps a young singer find fame and fortune even while his own career goes on a downward spiral as he copes with alcoholism. Starring Lady Gaga in a leading role, the movie has already achieved critical acclaim for its plot and music.

Halloween
Coinciding perfectly with Halloween, this is a typical October movie full of jumps and scares, perfect for anyone looking to be spooked out on Halloween. The 11th film in the Halloween franchise, it marks Laurie Strode&#8217;s final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she escaped his killing spree four decades ago.

Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween
Another Halloween special for thrill-seekers, this is a film based on R.L. Stine&#8217;s widely popular Goosebumps stories – a series of children&#8217;s books that has sold 400 million copies worldwide. The plot revolves around two children Sonny and Sam who must thwart an evil plan to create a Halloween Apocalypse.
