What is your favorite ghost movie?
I love Ghostbusters. It’s classic and I love the acting in it and it’s nostalgic of the movies that were made in that time period. And I like Poltergeist. I watched it when I was nine, and it scared me.

I really like the Annabelle series with the creepy, possessed doll—or The Conjuring movies—or The Babadook, that’s the most disturbed I’ve been after a movie.

My favorite is the Casper the Friendly Ghost movie. I like how there were different kinds of ghosts—like, there was a bully ghost—and they are all animated differently.

What comes to mind is Coraline, like more of a kids’ Halloween movie. Maybe not exactly the scariest movie, but it’s quirky. It’s a little unsettling and they did that well. I liked that.

I like Ghost—it’s the ’90s one. The guy dies, he gets stabbed, and he turns into a ghost. I like that it was so intense, how his friend was two-faced and tried to steal his girl, and how the ghosts come and get him.

I’ll go with The Others. I liked the fact that it was a twist. It’s always a good time when a movie’s got a good twist.
