Films like Rosemary's Baby?

[PeachPlumPears]

I love films like Rosemary's Baby, The Shining, Misery, Psycho, The Omen, basically scary films from the 60s/70s/80s I guess. Based on this list, can anyone recommend any similar films? Would love something to watch since it's Halloween and all!

The Wicker Man

[PeachPlumPears]

Excellent, lots to watch! Love the Wicker Man. Don't Look Now, Carrie, the Exorcist and the Birds are ones I've seen and exactly along the lines I was thinking 👍

[StilettosAreANoNo]

I was going to suggest The Wicker Man, but only the original!

[StilettosAreANoNo]

Candyman
The Mothman Prophecies

[autumnintheair]

I love era films too. Spanish one can't remember name of it now came out a few years ago you would like that

[StilettosAreANoNo]

Poltergeist
Amityville Horror
American Werewolf in London

[PeachPlumPears]

Yes, definitely the original Wicker Man!

I'm trying to remember a Spanish one @autumnintheair - we must be thinking of the same thing

[PanPanPanPing]

Oh, and, Sleepy Hollow www.imdb.com/title/tt0162661/ with Johnny Depp. Sorry, I'm suggesting more recent films than your request for 60s/70s/80s. But .... !

The Hand that Rocked the Cradle

[seagreengirl]

The Sentinal 1977, very creepy and underated.

[seagreengirl]

Oohh and how about The Thing 1982, and The Evil Dead 1981, not the remake.

[seagreengirl]

And something a bit older The Haunting 1963 is great...again the remake is awful, why do they bother!!

[threadarick]

Those are my favourite films too OP

Others I like which haven’t been mentioned yet include the modern The Babadook (shining-esque but with a woman), Duel (Stephen Spielberg), Poltergeist, Alien, Cujo. But they’re all quite well known so I’d expect you’ve seen them.

I’m also really enjoying a series of Val Lewton films (older, bit kitsch and pre-noir but effective).

Spanish film - Rec?

[MyfanwyMontez]

Pan's Labyrinth- that's a Spanish film, and The Orphanage.

[stitchglitched]

The Devil's Advocate

[PeachPlumPears]

Happy to get recent suggestions too @PanPanPanPing!

@Threadarick funnily enough I haven't seen them except Poltergeist! Will definitely watch the others now though since I trust your excellent taste in films 😉

Rosemary's Baby is my one of my favourites, and I love lots of these that have been mentioned. Trying to think of some new ones:

• Peeping Tom (1960) - also one of my favourites
  
• Shutter Island (2011) - not horror but creepy and psychological, haunting
  
• Let The Right One In (2008)
  
• The Stepford Wives (1975)
  
• Coherence (2014)
  
• Orphan (2009)
  
• Crooked House (2008) - set in the Victorian era I believe? Well, it's period and super creepy.
  

A few others that I wouldn't recommend as strongly, but still worth checking out:

• mother! (2017) - might be still at the cinema. VERY divisive.
  
• The Descent (2005) - gorier and just very different from all of these, more pure horror, but one of the most lasting frights ever from a film.
  
• Unfriended (2014) - I might have liked this one so much because I expected to hate it!
  
• Under The Shadow (2016)
  

Hope you like some of them, OP! Happy Halloween!

Oh and 28 Days Later (2002).
