The Thing. Always for any occasion.

Alien is my go-to horror movie, but, yeah, The Thing might be much better for halloween.

Those silly Edgar Allan Poe films from the 60s are fun to watch too.

The Raven, especially! You get the three of the best of campy horror: Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, and Peter Lorre, not to mention teenage Jack Nicholson. The wizard duels are hilarious and Boris Karloff does a thing to Peter Lorre that cracks me up every time I see it.

Dr. House says no. Unless this is a movie without giant carnivorous rabbits, then I apologize.

Speaking of Vincent Price, the Abominable Dr Phibes movies are pretty good/bad.

Gingersnaps 1 & 2 are fantastic and I watch them every Halloween. Best metaphor for menstruation/homosexuality ever.

If you revisit it, Poltergeist is just some Spielberg bullshit. Still decent, though.

It's gone now.

Turn the burner down low:

The Haunting (1963)
The Innocents (1961)
The Woman in Black (BBC, 1989)
Lake Mungo
Jacob's Ladder
The Shining
The Devil's Backbone
Vampyr: Der Traum des Allan Grey
Les Diaboliques
An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

It's not a horror movie per say, but Come and See is scary as all hell and consists of the 20 most unnerving minutes of cinema you'll ever see. :colbert:

Watch this spooky movie called Skeleton Man, it's the classic "Corporation disturbs Native American burial ground," curse story and even has that racist biker dude from like, the first 2 eps of the Walking Dead.

e: The movie I saw was in English, I guess the german dub of the trailer is the only one that exists.

Ganja & Hess! Cult blaxpoitation psychedelic vampire horror from 1973 starring Duane Jones of Night of the Living Dead fame. Unlike anything you've ever seen.

I wouldn't call Lake Mungo scary, but it did leave me feeling like the world was a lovely, lovely place. The story was pretty good in that regard.

Send more goons!

Has Session 9 been mentioned? You should watch Session 9. It's a great slow-burn ghost story full of uncertainty, made to get under your skin.

Demora: Aug 13, 2004; It wouldn't be the Enterprise without a Sulu at the helm

Lot of good movies listed.

I also like:

House of 1000 Corpses
Chakushin Ari (If you're into J-Horror)

And a great comedy option is Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon.
