SpppOOOoooOOky Movies

Halloween is coming, and to be honest - I am running out of horror films to watch. Like, I'm not sure if any good ones are still out there.
So here's a topic to recommend scary films, and hopefully I might discover something new. 

So, my recommendations are:

• The Babadook - Don't watch the trailer, makes it out to be a monster movie, which is isn't
  
• Kill List - pretty weird film. Like Fight Club knowing anything about it ruins it, so go in blind
  
• It Follows - a decent modern horror, has a couple of good jump scares
  
• Evil Dead - no, not THE Evil Dead, but the kinda-reboot one. Honestly I enjoyed this film mostly because my girlfriend was terrified of it (even though she loves horror films, the original Friday the 13th scares her) to the point we had to take 3 breaks for her to calm down...
  
• Jason X - because it's really dumb
  
• A Nightmare on Elm Street - with this either the original or the remake. I think the original is better, but it has dated a bit so if that bothers you, watch the remake.
  
• Backcountry - probably the only good animal horror film since... well, a very long time (does Jaws count?). It's also the only film that has made me feel pretty uneasy for a few hours after. Highly recommended.
  
• Candyman - somehow managed to miss this for years, fantastic film. Girlfriend has a bee phobia - but even she highly recommends it.
  
• Poltergeist - the remake sucked, the sequels sucked, but man, the original. The face scene is still disgusting even after all these years.
  
• The Witch - I honestly cannot recommend this film. I have no idea if I like it or not, or even if it's a good movie. It's more o a historical documentary like thing than a horror but it's just so weird that you kind of have to see it, even if you don't like it...

the only horror movie i've watched all the way through is called Room (some number, i don't remember). basically an investigation team was sent to a family's haunted apartment room and of course hell ensued. i remember the daughter was being possessed by the main spirit and would start floating above her bed at night. at the end they were all either killed or chased away by the spirit, then the camera was left in the apartment and captures a creepy looking girl.

it's not bad, but it's pretty much shock value and jumpscares more than clever plot and whatnot.

The Exorcist is a classic. I recommend that movie, even if it's slightly silly nowadays, it was friggin scary as heck for the 70s. Some consider it the scariest movie ever made, so that's sOooOoOOooper spooooOoOoOoKy!

For a decent horror in today's market, I'd have to say anything that has Justin Bieber in it.
