I also recommend the original version of The Fly as well The Exorcist! Rosemary's Baby, The Abominable Dr. Phibes (if you're needing a laugh), The Shining, Cabin In the Woods, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Shining, Amityville Horror (original). I'm going to see Happy Death Day and have a slew of movies recorded on the DVR. Nosferatu is up next.
Obviously the original Halloween movie is a definite must watch for Halloween. Also check out Trick r Treat another Halloween based horror. Most recently I enjoyed It Follows. 🎃
American Werewolf in London. Some old Vincent Price Films, Maybe some Hammer films
House of Wax(The original with Vincent Price)House of Wax(newer version)
Vincent Price Edgar Allan Poe films
Halloween(Rob Zombie version)
House of 1,000 Corpses
Universal Horror films

Ow Rosemary's Baby is one that has always intrigued me. Maybe I'll watch that one as well :)
I've seen The Shining multiple times, love it. TCM freaked me out :p But enjoyed it as well!

HolydaysTales of Halloween
Halloween Night
John Carpenter's Halloween
Rob Zombie's 31
And Train to Busan (not All Hallows Eve themed like the previous ones but it is an awesome zombie movie :D)

Train to Busan IS awesome!! Never been so scared and sad at the same time! Watch it!
Also, I've asked this question here before, so maybe you'll pick up some good ones here.. ;-)
I did! (haven't watched them all yet)
Love The Shining I watch it every time I see it on. Also I need to check out 31 by Rob Zombie

It's a great movie, I think you'll like it.
Eva wrote: "So he "ordered" me to watch 4 movies that he thinks are one of the better ones and when I did, I'd have to report back.."I'd suggest something a little tamer to break in gently.
1. Gremlins
2. Shaun of the Dead
3. The Blob (1958, the remake was just stupid)
4. Ok The Fly (1986), he got one right.
If you're going for The Exorcist, the original would be better.
"Frankenstein and The Monster From Hell""Satanic Rites of Dracula"
"The Legend of The Seven Golden Vampire" (I always need my Hammer "fix" this time of year!)
Then, Tonight
"House On Haunted Hill"
"Island of Lost Souls"
and(of course) Carpenter's "Halloween"
And, the icing on the cake, "The Return of the Vampire' (my favorite Lugosi.)
Perhaps Burton's "Ed Wood"
There are a few films I am planning to watch but my plans usually go awry so everything's tentative. I hope I get to see these since I've been really meaning to.1) Halloween III
2) The Halloween Tree (definitely not scary but more nostalgic)
3) Sleepy Hollow
4) Ouija: Origin of Evil
5) The Fog (1980)
6) An American Werewolf in London (re-watch)
My recommendation would be The Others because it's unsettling, creepy and heartbreaking. Another one that's terrifying and a weepie in equal measure is The Orphanage (2007). If you want something that's slightly tamer, I'd suggest The Witches (1990). It's a creepy and rollicking good time.

Thanks! I've seen The Excorcist and liked it. He recommended me #3, because he thought #2 was the worst.

I've seen The Others a long long time ago. I never saw that ending coming, freaked me out :p

And whatever else I can find to watch on tv. lol
I don't watch a lot of movies but it's become something of a tradition to watch the truly terrible The Wolfman (starring Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins) on Halloween.
IMO, the best horror movie for a first horror movie is Something Wicked This Way Comes. kinda scary but not really
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Phantasm. I was fascinated with that one when it first came out. Still not sure what was what. :(

Yeah, it's bad but it has great atmosphere to it. Perfect scenes for Halloween, just a shame the story was so badly done.

That's awesome, I need to get that.
In the Netherlands, where I come from, we don't celebrate Halloween like they do in, for example, America. But I thought, why not get in the mood?!
So he "ordered" me to watch 4 movies that he thinks are one of the better ones and when I did, I'd have to report back. Fun!
So, I am planning on watching:
1) The Fly (1986)
2) The Thing (1982)
3) The Excorcist III (1990)
4) The Witch (2015)
Even thinking about it gives me the creeps, but I'll do it! At least I am going to try :p
Do you have any movieplans? Or recommendations? :)
