1. ‘Night of the Living Dead’: This is a rare gem that many argue created the template for modern zombie films and ushered in the splatter film subgenre that paved the way for the slasher classics of the 1970s, 1980s and beyond. Night of the Living Dead, directed by George A. Romero, is a groundbreaking horror film about a ragtag group of Pennsylvanians who barricade themselves in an old farmhouse to remain safe from a horde of flesh-eating ghouls that are ravaging the East Coast.
2. ‘Halloween’: It is the ultimate seasonal horror movie. It’s the 1978 classic by John Carpenter that launched Jamie Lee Curtis into megastardom as the Scream Queen. And it is the film that began it all—the genesis of Michael Myers and the freaky William Shatner mask.
3. ‘Deep Red’: The Hatchet Murders: A 1975 horror classic from Italian director Dario Argento. When a pianist witnesses the murder of a psychic, he attempts to find the killer. However, he consistently faces new road blocks as each new source winds up dead. From the maker of Suspiria, enter a world of macabre, suspense and the supernatural.
4. ‘Afterthought’: This lesser known film from 2007 has a strong fan base that lives on. After Christy Dawson loses her father, she begins having dreams about him. The dreams are innocent enough, until they start to become prophetic and lead to the death of those around her.
5. ‘The Changeling’: Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Peter Medak, the film is anchored by strong acting performances, telling the story about a man’s grief after losing his wife and daughter. When he secludes himself in a long-vacant historic mansion, he discovers that a spirit lives in this house with him and needs him to unravel histories of horror and deceit.
