Halloween
The film is packed with carefully paced set pieces that have you jumping out of your skin at regular intervals, while the haunting score, penned by the director himself, will also keep you on the edge of your seat. As the knife-happy Myres spends much of the time lurking in the shadows, this is a good one to watch on Blu-ray as the details in even the darkest scenes won’t descend into inky blackness. This is horror cinema at its best, but we would advise you to avoid the 2007 remake like the plague.
Night of the living dead
The Orphanage
The film is beautifully shot and manages to evoke a sense of fear from even the most mundane of everyday objects. The sumptuous cinematography looks brilliant in hi-def and also makes the subtitles that little bit clearer to read. As scary films go, this really is bleak - don’t say we didn’t warn you.
The Exorcist
Suspiria
The Evil Dead
The Thing
Nightmare on Elm Street
An American Werewolf in London
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Psycho
The Shining
This is another film that has been subject to numerous parodies over the years, making the famous door-smashing/“Here’s Johnny” scene more comical than scary. And the plot doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense, but there are some terrific scenes that will get your heart racing.
