1955 black and white, starring Robert Mitchum and Shelley Winters, the only movie ever directed by actor Charles Laughton, and the only solo screenplay produced by critic James Agee. THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER stands alone, and is unlike anything else.

1956 color, starring Walter Pidgeon and Leslie Nielsen, one of the most influential science fiction movies ever made, based on Shakespeare's 'The Tempest.'

1968 color, aka FIVE MILLION YEARS TO EARTH, a product of the B-movie legend, Hammer Studios, starring James Donald and Andrew Keir, intelligently paranoid science fiction film now a cult favorite.

1968 color, aka THE CONQUEROR WORM, starring Vincent Price as a brutal witch-hunter during the dark age.

1973 color, starring Linda Blair, directed by William Friedkin, from a bestselling book by William Peter Blatty, with epic soundtrack by Mike Oldfield. The 1973 original is terrifying, the fully-restored 1999 director's-cut is even scarier.

1977 color, directed by Dario Argento, starring Jessica Harper, with soundtrack by Goblin. SUSPIRIA is a very well-made Italian slasher classic.

1978 color remake, starring Donald Sutherland and Leonard Nimoy, every bit as scary as the 1956 original.

1999, in terms of the ratio to it's low budget, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT is one of the most financially successful movies ever made. A classic that will stand the test of time. Its sequel BOOK OF SHADOWS: BLAIR WITCH 2, directed by Joe Berlinger, is remarkably spooky too, and holds its own very well.

1999, Japanese with English subtitles, directed by Takashi Miike, starring Ryo Ishibashi and Eihi Shiina, from the novel by Ryu Murakami. One of the most disturbing movies ever made, AUDITION uses long deliberately slow-paced character development to bring the viewer into the film.

2002 remake of 1998 Japanese classic, RINGU, which is equally great, starring Naomi Watts.

2005, based on the true story of Anneliese Michel documented by Dr. Felicitas Goodman in the book THE EXORCISM OF ANNELIESE MICHEL and directed by Scott Derrickson, starring Laura Linney, Tom Wilkinson, Jennifer Carpenter and Campbell Scott.
