Halloween Special: Best Horror Movies!

If you want to have a spooky home-cinema session on Halloween, here´s a small selection I made as a recommendation for the horror movies lovers. This collection is based on two lists of the most popular amongst horror movies viewers: this and this. I have only selected the ones I have really watched and that were creepy for me...

Here we go!:



The Shining (1980).
A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil and spiritual presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future.


A young journalist must investigate a mysterious videotape which seems to cause the death of anyone in a week of viewing it.

"REC" turns on a young TV reporter and her cameraman who cover the night shift at the local fire station. Receiving a call from an old lady trapped in her house, they reach her building to hear horrifying screams -- which begin a long nightmare and a uniquely dramatic TV report.


Four weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the UK, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary.



In October of 1994, three student film makers disappeared in the woods near Burkittesville, Maryland. One year later, their footage was found.



A freak storm unleashes a species of blood-thirsty creatures on a small town, where a small band of citizens hole-up in a supermarket and fight for their lives.


Oscar, an overlooked and bullied boy, finds love and revenge through Eli, a beautiful but peculiar girl who turns out to be a vampire.


A caving expedition goes horribly wrong, as the explorers become trapped and ultimately pursued by a strange breed of predators.




A nurse, a policeman, a young married couple, a salesman, and other survivors of a worldwide plague that is producing aggressive, flesh-eating zombies, take refuge in a mega Midwestern shopping mall.



Have a spooky weekend! :)
