Looking for a good scare this Halloween? Or maybe you just want something to play in the background during a party?

THIS IS EVEN SCARIER: The Nexus 6P can’t really be this easy to bend… can it?
Day of the Dead
Nobody does zombie movies like George Romero and Day of the Dead is a wonderfully gruesome successor to the classic Night of the Living Dead.
Scream
is a delightfully postmodern horror movie about horror movie conventions. This is horror master Wes Craven at his wittiest.
Rosemary’s Baby
A true classic of a horror movie that relies on suggestion and slow-boiling suspense to create horror instead of gore. Rosemary’s Baby is worth watching alone for Ruth Gordon’s performance as a disturbingly nosy neighbor with a devilish secret.
The Omen
is the classic film whose main monster is… a cute little kid? Yes, really. You’ll have to watch it to learn the details.
A Clockwork Orange
is admittedly a little more sci-fi than horror, although chief droog Alex has proven to be a very popular Halloween costume over the years. Director Stanley Kubrick is at his peak in this movie, which might be the best film he ever made.
From Dusk Till Dawn
, Quentin Tarantino’s take on the vampire flick genre, is equal parts gruesome and hilarious. Cheech Marin’s vulgar performance in particular is a treat.
Silence of the Lambs
Not every monster is supernatural and Silence of the Lambs shows that serial killers can be just as scary as werewolves, vampires or ghosts.
