Good company and some popcorn can enliven some of the best cinematographic works of this genre
The most terrifying time of the year is coming and there are many who are looking forward to a horror movie marathon. Of course, if you’re not used to enjoying this kind of cinema, it’s best not to put on a scary movie when you’re home alone. When Halloween approaches, more than one gets excited and watches a scary movie.
The Day of the Dead can be celebrated in many ways. Not only can you dress up as a horror movie character, but also run a marathon with your friends and enjoy the best scary works the cinema has made. This genre has always depended on the ability to startle or disturb, but what frightens people has not changed much over the years: a strange noise, the protagonist of the film alone in a corridor of an abandoned house, the sequence of murders in a seemingly quiet neighborhood. For this reason, this type of cinema continues to captivate many viewers. Those who want to get a little scared this Halloween just need to check out some of the great horror movies in cinema history.
When you think of a horror film, you probably think of William Friedkin’s ‘The Exorcist’ (1973). Regan, a twelve-year-old girl, suffers from paranormal phenomena such as levitation or the manifestation of a superhuman power. If you are looking for a scary movie to watch this Halloween with ‘The Exorcist’ you will never fail. This is without a doubt a diabolical movie.
It is one of the most famous horror sagas of all time. In ‘Saw’ (2004), two people must compete against each other to solve terrifying puzzles in order to avoid being killed. With no more than two actors and a bathroom, this film will make your hair stand on end.
“Here’s Jack.” If you haven’t seen ‘The Shining’ and you like scary movies, you can’t wait any longer. This is one of the scariest movies in history. Jack Nicolson plays a writer with a drinking problem who begins to behave strangely. It is without a doubt a masterpiece of psychological terror.
Alejandro Amenábar managed to terrify everyone who watched this film. Nicole Kidman stars in ‘The Others’ (2001), as a mother who lives with her children in a house where sunlight cannot enter. She and the kids start to see strange things that take your breath away.
Another horror saga that kept more than one addict was ‘The Warren File’ (2013). Dedicated to investigating paranormal phenomena, the Warrens try to find out what happens on a farm where a frightened family lives. It’s another one of those movies that keeps you constantly in suspense.
“The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.” After losing her son and seeing her husband’s career ruined, a woman decides to take revenge on the person responsible for her misfortunes, Claire Bartel. She manages to get into his house as a nanny and begins to harm the family.
Another mythical horror film is ‘The Silence of the Lambs’ (1991). An FBI agent is put to the test after enlisting the help of an imprisoned serial killer to catch another criminal. This movie has really scary scenes. Not suitable for people who don’t like scary movies.
It was the film that marked the postmodern trend of horror cinema. This movie is one of the most typical Halloween costumes. A group of women is terrorized by a murderer. Shocking and terrifying, perfect for the night of October 31st.
This 2012 film tells the story of a journalist who travels across the country with his family to investigate horrific murders that he later turns into books. Things get complicated when he arrives at a home where a family has been murdered, where he finds a tape revealing terrible clues beyond solving the tragedy.
To round out this list of the most terrifying movies of all time, Tober Hooper’s ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ (1974) couldn’t be ruled out. At the height of the Vietnam War, a group of young hippies roam Texas and are attacked by a family of cannibals. You will probably have nightmares because what is happening to these young people is really terrible.
