Top TVs For Spooky Scenes

Don’t be a chicken – it’s not a scary movie night if you can’t see what’s on the screen! Go bold for Halloween 2023 with a big screen TV (85-inch screens are the new normal!) flaunting state-of-the-art OLED technology.

“You can’t beat OLED for picture-perfect viewing in any room,” says Jason Tavoletti, The Good Guys Buyer – Televisions and Accessories. “Every tiny pixel is self-lit, so there’s no need for backlighting. That means perfect blacks for moody Halloween movies, stunning whites and crisp contrast.”

And what could be creepier than a Halloween movie night in the dark? One that’s outside, of course! The latest projectors deliver an immersive experience that'll put you at the heart of horror. The Samsung The Freestyle Portable Smart FHD Projector takes the scary out of setting up by automatically adjusting focus, levelling and scaling for perfect pictures on a 30- to 100-inch screen.
