Scary Movies for the Halloween season
61 replies

I did this last year on the other site.
The scary movie season is in and I figured I would make a thread to help those who are looking to update their Netflix queue or are heading into blockbuster for a creepy movie.
What are some lesser known creeptastic films that you really enjoyed?
or Just list your top 10 favs.
I will start
Candyman
Blair Witch Project
Hills Have Eyes
The Ring
Cabin Fever
Wrong Turn
Pet Sematary 1
Pet Sematary 2
The Lost Boys
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remake and old)
there is my list of 10 in no order....im sure there are others but these are the ones that came to mind first.


does leprechaun count as "lesser known"?
"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl
that sounds like a gay porn movie.

It definitely fits into the whole gore horror genre but with a comedic edge, I enjoyed it.

love those ones. hellraiser is overrated I think, way more gory then scary.
One I think all should see is in the mouth of madness.
thanks to VO for the sick ass sigs.

I think they are a mix. They are supposed to be picked by masters of horror and made by up and comers I guess? They come out a couple times a year in a series......

The Shining. everything about that movie is creepy as hell.
as a small child, bordering on being a baby...2 of my first movies were Jaws and the Shining. wtf were my parents thinking...there may be a lawsuit here.
Yea about that Hatchet movie....not my taste because that movie was horrible.
Next up Midnight Meat Train
