So it is getting close to Halloween so this is my list go to movies to watch. Keep in mind gory ones just do not scare me at all. I liked them when I was 12 and watched a lot of them. But now it is just sort of boring. I mean Hellraiser was great and others as well. But they really are not for me now. I like ghosts and paranormal ones. Some of them have that creep factor because entities can exist… but not be seen. And that idea creeps me out sometimes.
So the ones I have chosen are some of my favourites Halloween movies in that area.
The Haunting of Hill House- currently on Netflix
I really enjoyed this and it had the right creep factor in it
The Exorcist
This is a classic. And if you haven’t seen it check it out
The Grudge
It takes a lot to impress me with a horror movie but this one has serious creep factor
The Shining
I loved the book and I loved the movie
The Conjuring
I enjoyed this one and is a good one to be included in a movie marathon
Insidious
At the same level as the Conjuring but I would say it was decent
The Amityville Horror
I’d say this is a pretty good classic one to watch as well
Poltergeist
A definite classic to check out. The first is the best though. As is always the case
Silent Hill
I loved this one. It was fascinating to me the way they set up that world.
The quiet place
Just a great story overall. But I did have a bit of a duh moment at the end. But well worth watching overall
Now there are some new ones I wouldn’t mind checking out

I loved The Haunting of Hill House (original, black-and-white) and The Shining. The Exorcist was certainly creepy, but I found it to be almost too unsettling. Thanks for the reminder of Winchester, which I also still want to see!

I just watched Winchester on Netflix last night it was a good movie but not too creepy. The exorcist is unsettling and I think that is why it is so good. These unseen forces that are malicious… creepy

I would really suggest The Quiet Place if you have not seen it. It builds up tension extremly well. It had a great ending. And isn’t scary scary horror

Yup, seen all of these (apart from Haunting of Hill House on Netflix) – some great picks!
I actually really enjoyed Scream too when it came out (and a few of the later ones, too). And Psycho, really liked that many many years ago.
I need to check out some of the newer ones, like The Nun. Happy Scary Movie watching! 🙂
