What is your fav Halloween/Horror films??

[Gothbaby]

Every halloween I do a challenge to watch 31 films in 31 days (starting earlier this year due to baby!) . They are traditional horror films, comedies, old, new, subtitled whatever!! BUT the catch is they have to be films I have never seen before (really hard as i have to write a review for every single one!) Not knowing what I've seen,
I'd love to know what your favourite horror or halloweeny films are??
Any so bad they are good? Ones your grew up with? etc.
So for example, your fav could be classic (such as friday the 13th) or a kids film (Hocus Pocus) etc. .

Annabel, Conjuring1 and 2 and super scary. Including the Ring, Rings, Grudge, Kayako vs Sadako are my fav horror movies.

Pet Semetary, Cujo, The Faculty, IT.

[FrankieStein]

The Halloween tree was one that stuck with me as a child, and the Disney cartoon sleepy hollow one.
Adult wise I love the Freddie Kruger films, sinister is a good watch. The purge, (and not a film but I loved stranger things)

[Purple999Red]

The Exorcism of Emily Rose
I also saw Rose Red when I was young and it made quite an impression to me.

[Andrena92]

Stan helsting! I watch it every Halloween
Scary movie 2 is the best out of them all and seed of Chucky. As you can tell I like the funny spoof kind. One I love that freaks me out is misery. Old but gold!

[Gracielaw]

Trick r treat is a great Halloween film

[brummiesue]

Wolf creek, hills have eyes, last house on the left (new remake) plus hostel, all a brilliant watch 😊

[NoncommittalToSparkleMotion]

Hocus Pocus is the best Halloween movie ever.

Frighteners is a good Halloween watch.

[bunningsbunny]

We have a dvd of Spookley the Square Pumpkin that comes out every Halloween. Probably had it since ds1 was about 2. He's now 12 and finds it horrific that we still have the dvd...

Dh and I watch it more than the dc . Not at all scary other than a couple of moments if you're 2 years old... But very sweet and happy memories of watching it when the dc were tiny!

[JAPAB]

I liked The Fourth Kind about alien abductions and visitations.

[JAPAB]

Dawn Of The Dead (both original and remake).

[TimeForTea73]

Every year around the beginning if October we watch the old Hammer House of Horror series and also go through some of the old Amicus portmanteaux.

There's nothing quite like that 70s eerie-ness that just brings something else entirely to the party.

I also love that these are great stories, not just scary and horrific as seems to be the case in a lot of horror films of late. To give horror its due as a genre though I think some studios are trying harder. Often less is a lot more.

The Japanese and Korean studios often get things spot on as their 'baddies' often have a sad story to tell.

Horror is such a misnomer because all sorts of rubbish fall into it.

[LetsGoFlyAKiteee]

The descent...exorcism of Emily rose..sinister..

[GriefLeavesItsMark]

If you can get hold of a copy, The Stone Tapes, originally made for TV, and very scary.

[shakemysilliesout]

Halloween town Disney channel movie

[Willow2017]

The old Hammer House of Horror/Hammer films ones are great, very atmospheric and not in your face like many of todays horrors - all gore and no story.

The masque of the Red Death is fab as is 'The Devil Rides Out' and 'To the Devil a Daughter'.

For slow burners 'Rosemarys Baby' is classic and for full on gore with a a lot of 'black humour' and snappy one liners 'Dog Soldiers' is fabulous.

For true horror purely man made you cant beat 'The Wicker Man'.

[ClaraMumsnet]

Seconding Hocus Pocus! Can't wait until my DS is old enough for it.

Witchfinder General is terrifying; it's got Vincent Price in it. It's more historical than straightforward horror.

For a more modern choice, Prevenge is brilliant, scary at times (unsettling at others), and funny, too.

[Kidsarekarma]

Practical Magic, love it.
What We Do In The Shadows, so funny

[bertaluk3]

its focus pocus film, da best one, but have you seen it?
