Let me start with the one of my biggest guilty pleasures, that fits pretty well to the Halloween period: the Monster House from 2006. This animated horror with dark comedy vibes combined felt a little bit eerie yet entertaining when I watched this in the cinema as a 9-year old kid, but 20 years later the peculiar sense of humor of this production aged like a good wine. Actually, now I'm enjoying watching this from time to time a way more... π
Oh, Iβm going with a seriously great film recommended by @MaciejNeumann. Not a spooky one, but a horror.
Especially nowadays, when so many artistic pieces fade from memory quickly, this one has stuck with me for months. It even gave me a nightmare!
Iβm talking about The Substance - a film I initially avoided just because the word "celebrity" popped up in the description. π Luckily, itβs not about celebrity culture at all. In general, itβs very intense, and you'd better prepare for testing your disgust boundaries.

The commercial towing spaceship Nostromo is on a return trip from Thedus ...
When I was a kid, Scooby-Doo was one of my absolute favorites. It was fun to watch and just enough spooky mystery to keep me hooked. The suspense of unmasking the monster at the end and realizing it was just a person in disguise was thrilling every time π πΎ
Another one that really stuck in my mind that's spooky is actually a book - The Hound of the Baskervilles, I remember reading it back in my school days and being completely drawn into its suspenseful mystery. I see that story was even made as a movie, but for some reason I enjoyed reading the book more ππΎ
As a grown up , have a long list of spooky movies ...but nothing beats the below for me ππ± π
When I think of a movie that back than gave me the chills it was Event Horizon, a Sci-Fi/Horror - not sure if that is well known as this is so old I still have it on VHS tape (and no more hardware to play it π)

Oh this is a good one!
Steve King's "Storm of the Century" always scared the living daylights out of me. The setting is Maine, on a small island and a huge winder storm has hit....
The SAW movies are also good, it might not be spine chilling, more so gory than anything. But that too was always a scary movie for us growing up.

Hey,
My childhood Spooky movie is The Ring (2002). I still remember my sister bringing the tape home, and 10-year-old me watching it alone one evening. The fact that we actually had a VHS player made it so much worseβ¦ To this day it gives me chills, and I didnβt touch tapes for years.

Agree ! The Ring is definetely on my spooky top list π»
It's funny because I remember having the same experience when, as a young teenager, I was at a friend's house secretly watching a VHS tape that his older sister had brought home, and it was : The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Hi,
My list would be:
- Psycho (1960)
- Jaws (1975)
- The Shining (1980)
- The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
- The Sixth Sense (1999)
- Sleepy Hollow (1999)
And bonus are two movies from Spain:
- Tesis (1996)
- The Others (2001)
Best regards
Think that the acting in Split is quite impressive. Playing 24 personalities due to the character's dissociative identity disorder seems like an extreme challenge for an actor. And he plays all of them (a.o. a kid and an older woman) very well.
Other than that, I was always a fan of the Conjuring movies.
The first Alien movie got me the first time I saw it.
For Comedy Horror, I like Shaun of the Dead π
The scariest movie for me (maybe because I watched it from behind the couch when I was 4 yo without my parents realizing π ), is Hollow Man (2000).
Others that had great impact:
- Final destination series (aka the reason no millenial ever drives behind a timber-hauling truck)
- Paranormal activity (which I should thank for always RUNNING FOR MY LIFE after I turn off the lights in the house and go to bed π€£)
Something I profoundly enjoyed in the last year, are the shows by Mike Flanagan, especially his miniseries Midnight Mass.

AFter I got married, this one become a must-watch in October.
