"Sleepy Hollow"

Tim Burton's take on the legendary story of the headless horseman. Johnny Depp stars as Ichabod Crane, who investigates the decapitations of three people.

"Scream 3"

"From Dusk Till Dawn"

Two criminals get way more than they bargained for when the stumble into a bar overrun by vampires.

"Dead Silence"

Ventriloquist dummies are naturally terrifying. Imagine what happens when the ghost of a ventriloquist goes on a killing spree.

"Wes Craven’s New Nightmare"

The first “A Nightmare on Elm Street” is an all-time classic. This marks Craven’s returns to the franchise so it’s worth checking out, especially when it takes place in real time.

"Hellraiser"

One of the greatest horror movie characters of all time, Pinhead, was introduced when this first came out. While several unnecessary sequels were made, this is still a classic, especially around Halloween.

"The House Of The Devil"

A throwback to old horror movies, which has a slow build up and ends with a bang. One of the better horror movies made in recent years.

"The Omen"

A couple unknowingly adopts the son of the Devil. This is the original 1976 version, which is better than the 2006 remake.

"V/H/S"

A group has to steal a rare video tape, but in the process find videos that make their task very uncomfortable.

"Scary Movie 3"

"American Psycho"

Before Christian Bale put on the Batsuit, he starred as Patrick Bateman, a psychotic, killing business man. You’ll never think of Huey Lewis and The News in the same way again.

"The Sixth Sense"

M. Night Shyamalan became famous after this film was released and scared audiences everywhere. Haley Joel Osment sees dead people throughout.

"Saw"

The one that started it all. The movie made James Wan one of the best names in horror after his film of grotesque human traps. You can skip all of the sequels after this one.

"Underworld"

Vampires fight werewolves in this horror-action movie starring Kate Beckinsale. She plays a vampire who falls for a human who’s been bitten by her enemy species, werewolves creating a sort of “Romeo & Juliet” problem.

A ghost movie with a surprising twist at the end. Nicole Kidman stars as a mother living with her two children in a home that's haunted.

"Would You Rather?"
