CaptainHowdy's Spine-Chilling Halloween Movie List
Most choices may seem obvious but I encourage you to go and watch any of these with a "fresh pair of eyes" or else go and watch one of those contemporary horror movies that resemble a colonoscopy footage. Enjoy!
Pet Sematary (1989)
One of my dearest movies from the VHS rental frenzy of the late 80's. Stephen King's unhinged eyes staring straight into death.
The Exorcist III (1990)
The first "Exorcist" would be just too easy to list. This terryfing movie exposed me to my own sense of mortality at a very tender age so it ranks really high for me.
Poltergeist (1982)
The horror movie everybody think they saw but few actually did. Now go watch it.
Suspiria (1977)
Terror elevated to the dignity of art.
Eden Lake (2008)
Somewhere between "Funny Games" and "Cabin Fever" (and much closer to "Straw Dogs") there's this brutal british horror gem. The plausibility of it all makes this movie terrifying.
Under The Skin (2014)
The mother of all horrors: being human.
Scenes from a Marriage (1977)
What's scarier than married life? A film filled with demons (more than in the whole "Night Of The Demons" trilogy).
