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).

Happy Halloween, guys!!

Just don't make the mistake of watching Poltergeist 2. :Oh crap

I really liked Under the Skin. Even without the Scarlet Johansson full frontal nudity, it was worth watching. (although that certainly made it better)

Sweet list. I might watch again Pet Sematary.

Eden Lake is awesome!

That movie was like OfferGrind: you can't blame them for trying.

Watched cabin in the woods last night. Great movie nasty monster flick.

I still have to see that one ...

The Ring was one of the better ones in recent memory.

You're Next was a fun movie - just watched it again

one and two are good :2 cents: i watched both a lot last year. racheal that what he called his mom! :1orglaugh

nice list, my uncle tobe hooper directed poltergeist.

I'd add phantasm to this list.

Your uncle is Tobe Hooper?

Damn...always liked his flicks. :thumbsup

TCM will always be a classic.

Love the list!! One more to add on, still gives me the heeby jeebies! Happy Halloween!

it went just stupid! :2 cents: there's like 8 movies. the old guys in both scared the shit out of me :helpme

He actually directed it, right?? I was about to add the "Whoever directed it" line to the Poltergeist description since many think that it was Steven Spielberg the actual director. My respects to your uncle.

The "Phantasm" movies are awesome indeed.

yeah, his son and I spent summers together in austin back when we were growing up, we made toy monsters and shit all the time. :1orglaugh

oh yah, we all went to that premiere in austin, tx! I'm sure he's grateful you still enjoy his movie(s). :thumbsup

no harry potter? :helpme happy halloween guys and girls :)

That is a true GFY revelation! "Spontaneous Combustion" is one of my favorites and that became one of the greatest fears in my life.

As soon as my best friend's son is allowed to watch horror movies I'll be giving him one of my copies of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" as a gift.

I will recommend the original Halloween.

I remember going to the premier on Halloween of 1979 or so. It was a very scary movie and the soundtrack made it even better.

Donald Pleasance made a career of being in spooky movies. He was awesome.

Donald Pleasence R.I.P. he will visit you 2 nite. serve pork and beans and a chocolate blunt!v his favorites :1orglaugh

The meat hook scene lingers long in the memory.............

still wigs me out :1orglaugh

He also did Salem's Lot (the tv movie) back in the day. I remember that was extremely well done.

He did Lifeforce - if memory serves - a naked alien chick walked around a lot. :1orglaugh

hah, lifeforce was his first and last big budget blockbuster. it tanked......that chick was crazy hot though. I kinda like it.

one of his that gets overlooked is the funhouse, it's creepy!

She had an awesome rack, for sure. :thumbsup

well, that's what her face, her name escapes me but solo gal, yeah, uber hot certainly. lokk at those tiddies!

i
m distracted nowe.

Rife with so many editing flaws it is not even funny. Same with the first sequel. But it doesn't stop me from watching them every year. And every time I see something new that makes absolutely no sense.

I like The Addams Family and Addams Family Values.

:D

sum of you dont know what horror is.

the original texas chainsaw massacre
any of the saw movies they are as hardcore as it gets in gore

Halloween bump ...

Don't forget The Descent.

There's been a few recent horror movies I've seen which are pretty good:
Conjuring 2
The Babadook
Oculus
Train to Busan ( insane movie)
It Follows
