Best scary films for Halloween

[Hollie11]

Hi all, we're planning on watching scary films on Halloween night.......no idea why, I'm such a wimp. Anyhoo, any recommendations from you wise souls? A good slasher film perhaps? Tia

The Hills have eyes (Original)
Nightmare on elm street
Halloween (original)
Friday the 13th
Aliens

I bloody love horror films!!

Can I go a bit left field and suggest The Purge? I've enjoyed all three of them and if you're looking for slashers then they're definitely that!!

Modern predictables...

• insidious
• conjuring
• annabel

thriller but amazing...

• hush

Old school fun...

• exorcism Emily rose

Gory...

• wolf creek

The Exorcist - a classic. Truly terrifying
The Shining - chilling and gave me nightmares for weeks!

I'm a right wimp now when it comes to horror films but you can't go wrong with these 2. Enjoy!

Hostel 1 and Hostel 2 both really scary films
Human Centipede 1 and 2 both really gory sickening films

I know someone irl who was in The Human Centipede 2

I recommend The Orphanage, Pan’s Labyrinth and The Devil’s Backbone. Really creepy films. There’s a scene in The Orphanage when the character finds a cellar and has to go down the stairs. I was in the cinema and there was a groan from us all when that happened. It looked like the cellar to hell. So scary!

It follows is on netflix! That's my tv viewing sorted for tonight
Thanks!

It's excellent tomato. Be prepared to be looking over your shoulder for ages afterwards though

Silience of the lambs.. hannable and the rest.. ( There are sadly my go to movie when I'm sad to..)

Exozisim of Emily rose... made scarier that it's based on a true story

The only horror film I have seen is The Ring and I sobbed with fear through most of it, so that might be good.

Net flicks mindhunter is pretty good.. not as movie but still creepy in a v real way...

not a film but the enfield haunting is on sky living tonight all 3 episode back to back

Blair Witch Project is always a good one. Only film (apart from Paranormal Activity) that genuinely made me almost poo myself

Nightmare before Christmas is amazing!
I adore the nightmare on elm streets this time of year, or would you rather is a good one.

Season 3 Stranger Things just dropped, Halloween sorted!

Season 3? Did I miss Season 2?

I meant 2, season 2, doh!

Does season 2 also have Winona Ryder I'm? She was brilliant in Stranger Things!

Yeah, she's in it again, she's ace. watched 3 episodes so far and it's great.

Lost Boys

Double Corey!

Salem's Lot (70s version)
IT
Wrong Turn

I won't be responsible for your dry cleaning bill if you decide to watch any of the above though...

The Ring (japanese version)
The Grudge (also japanese version)

Ooh thanks Damn

I'm not a fan of blood and gore which so want/expect from a horror film. For me, horror has always been more of a psychological nature.

Not sure if you're watching with children, but if you are, some of these aren't suitable for young children.

The Innocents
Psycho
The Shining
Don't Look Now
The Birds
The Wicker Man
The Exorcist
Carrie
Let The Right One In (either the original Swedish version or the US remake)
The Others

I second The Orphanage. It's more of a psychological thriller as opposed to blood and gore. It's really chilling!
