Best horror films?

I'm a veteran of the 1990s...Scream 1-3 are irreplaceable to me but I have a soft spot for a good, gothic ghost story like The Others. Not so great with the Saw/Hills Have Eyes/Texts Chainsaw style 🫣

For comedy horror I think the Scream franchise is great. Silly gore - Wrong Turn, Final Destination etc. But for actually creepy, jump scares that might make you scared to go for a wee in the night…Insidious, The Nun, The Ring and The Grudge have always terrified me. The Smile films are creepy as fuck too.

There are a couple of really chilling films that are scary because they could potentially happen. Eden Lake is one. Love a good horror movie but there are so many different sub genres I have to be in the right mood for each.

Thankyou, yeah I don't get scared by the silly gory ones..
I'm after something that's gonna stay with me and creep the hell out.
