Halloween is tomorrow, my favorite holiday of the year. My favorite kinds of movies are any that are scary and/or weird and/or disturbing. This is why I'm only going to choose 5 to talk about, or I'll be talking about this FOREVER. I'm also only going to talk about American movies for once, because I feel like if I delve into foreign horror too, I'll never be able to stop adding movies :P
Trick 'r Treat
This was a straight to DVD release from last October. I would call it the movie equivalent of telling ghost stories while you're sitting around a fire. It's not really scary, but it's a lot of fun.
Paranormal Activity 2
I know some people don't find these to be scary at all, but I do. I don't even believe in demons and I consider the first one to be my personal scariest movie ever. If you like the first one, you will like this too. It's just more of the same, and that's fine with me!
House of the Devil
This movie should be the "how-to" example for directors who want to make an extremely suspenseful movie. I love it for the same reason some people don't- there is SO MUCH slow buildup to the conclusion. I thought it was excellent and really scary. If you have Netflix, this is available on instant play.
Clue
I really hope everyone has seen this at least once! This has been one of my favorites since I was 11 or 12. It's spooky, funny, and obviously Tim Curry is the best :D Every time I watch it I catch something new that I've never noticed.
The Shining
For the last one I decided to pick a classic. I hope everyone has seen this one, too! There's a reason it's so famous, and that's because it's so awesome. Creeps me out every time.
Hope you guys check out some of these movies and enjoy them!
