  2. I’m going to recommend Ringu and Burnt Offerings. They start off slow but by the end, you’ll be sleeping with the lights on…

    1. Oh YES, liked Ringu too! I’m yet to watch Burnt Offerings – Seems good in the trailer! 😉

      Apologies! Finding this comment now while rewriting/republishing this post!

  14. Out of this list, I’ve watched Jeepers Creepers, The Exorcist, and The Conjuring. All of those sent chills down my spine. It did its job well! I liked The Others, Carrie, The Sixth Sense…among some others. I fancy some plot twists and psychological mind twisting over the gore.

    1. I agree! At times even my loyalties shift from gore to psychological mind twisting and in all honesty I like them both! Anything that gets my spine + grey cells going! 😉

  21. I don’t care for those types of horror movies. Give me an old classic black & white horror movie any day. No crude killers like slashers but sexy drinkers of blood, that’s my speed. Actors like Frank Langella or Christopher Lee.

  30. ‘The Exorcist’ will forever be the scariest movie ever made, Christian religion and the existence of a mortal Devil asks so many questions of the viewer……………. plus it’ll give you absolute nightmares!!!

  32. Whilst I like gore movies I am more interested in psychological horror. But what a great list of films to see for Halloween.There are a few that I haven’t seen yet. I looked at The Conjuring trailer, and oh my it seems so scary. Definitely want to watch it but not alone!!!!! Thanks for sharing Richa.
