Top Horror Movies to Watch on Halloween 

PART 1

(random order) 

Alien (1979)

Ridley Scott's sci-fi/horror masterpiece from 1979. A very thrilling and claustrophobic movie, with great visuals and a standout performance from Sigourney Weaver. The fantastic illustrations by the great late artist Giger, he created the iconic xenomorph (alien) and the alien planet/spaceship.
One of the classic horror movies which truly stands the test of time.

Psycho (1960)

Maybe the most essential horror movie of alltime. Alfred Hitchcock's psycho is exciting from start to finish, with plenty of twists and turns. If you were to watch any horror movie this halloween, this should be on top of your list.

The Shining (1980)

On of the scariest movies on this list, with a fantastic soundtrack. The legendary Stanley Kubrick knows how to make you shiver throughout this 146 min long film. The moody atmosphere, and scary performance by Jack Nicholson makes this movie a must see for halloween.

The Thing (1982)

A psychological horror movie, that does not tell nor show you who or what the monster is. John Carpenter's horror classic is grotesque, (in a good way) the monster is one of the most disturbing things you might ever watch in any horror movie.

Amer (2009) 

This is a belgian hidden treasure, by the directors Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani. A fantastic moderne horror movie with great use of colors and editing. A movie which does not rely on dialog to create characters and story, but uses fantastic imagery and atmospheric music. Truly a unique and fascinating horror movie. 

Horror of Dracula (1958)

A Hammer studios classic from the legendary horror director Terence Fisher. The greatest Dracula movie ever made, with a very moody environment and great acting by Peter Cushing. Peter Cushing is the main reason this movie works so well, he is the best on screen Van Helsing. Let us not forget the scary and elegant Christopher Lee who plays the role of dracula to perfection. If you were to watch any dracula/vampire movie, watch this one!
