Are there any great horror movies you would recommend for Halloween?

Asked by science_girl89 (236points) October 24th, 2008

I’m planning on staying in on Halloween (long story) and really want to know if anybody knows of any really great horror movies? I mean any movie you would recommend. All options are welcome, I don’t mind extreme gore, but would prefer a movie that is a psychological thriller.

In other words, I’m not opposed to Saw, or Halloween, or I Know What You Did Last Summer, or any other scary chase type of film. It’s just that recently that’s pretty much all I’ve seen. I really miss seeing films that are scary but more suspenseful than purely gore driven. I just don’t see the appeal of a film that is so textbook that you know exactly who’s going to be offed, in what order, and manner.

Some films I would put in the category of films I really enjoy are Signs, Alien, Predator, Rear Window, The Birds, any other Hitchcock classics. I realize that most great horror movies are really dual-genre movies. For instance Jaws could be classified as both a suspenseful horror, and adventure. I appreciate any and all suggestions!
