This year I did a countdown of 31 classic horror films – and I left so many out, because there are so many great ones…”The Changeling” is a lesser-known haunted house film with the legendary Actor George C. Scott, and the classics like “Halloween” or “Night Of The Living Dead” and “The Exorcist” always work, but here is the post to perhaps my favorite one of all – great story by Stephen King, incredible acting from Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, Amy Irving and yes, John Travolta! The brilliant “Carrie” – and there is a “Star Wars” connection! – https://johnrieber.com/2017/10/30/shocktober-day-30-brilliant-carrie-brian-depalmas-horror-classics-star-wars-connection-2/
Halloween, The Thing, Ghostbusters, The Mummy, The Lost Boys…. have been doing a week of the good stuff, there’s some real proper classics out there always worth revisiting!
I love Dawn Of The Dead and The Thing (and I am NOT a gore fanatic!)
Creepy stuff like Th Changeling and Th Fog
but if I have time for only 1 film, it has to be:
An American Werewolf In London
That’s a good idea!
Before delving into th really creepy stuff, u might like to try What We Do In Th Shadows, th vampire mockumentary – it is HILARIOUS!
I like satirical alien invasion movies with a side of humor, so Grabbers (2012) and The Faculty (1998). Also the original Tremors (1990) although I don’t know, or care, if those last ugly dudes are aliens or just leftover prehistoric horrors. Happy Halloween!
Tremors is glorious, still one of those you start watching and can’t stop if it’s on the TV.
Also watched The Faculty a few weeks ago for the first time in years, really remember it, so must hav watched it a lot as a teenager! I also remember Grabbers from a film festival a few years ago, ridiculous but so much fun!
Hope you had a Happy Halloween! I should really watch Hocus Pocus someday… My kid might like it. 🙂 Hmm. My favorite scary movies? I do love The Shining & Romero’s Dawn of the Dead.

We watched the original Frankenstein in the cinema last Halloween, amazing to watch it like that, quite traumatic!
