 | Poltergeist
Buy used from: $1.80 Just about the scariest movie ever.
|
 | The Changeling
Buy new: $5.98 / Used from: $2.84 This one still scares me and my sister. I like to freak her out by bouncing a ball down the stairs.
|
 | The Shining
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $5.93 One of the scariest movies ever.
|
 | The Watcher in the Woods
Buy used from: $12.27 Disney, but spooky.
|
 | Carnival of Souls - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $32.49 / Used from: $13.90 Herk Harvey's cult masterpiece which combines some of the scariest things-ghostly figures stalking you, deserted amusement parks and organ music.
|
 | The Blair Witch Project
Buy new: $4.99 / Used from: $1.98 You either love or hate this one. Personally, I love it. Anyone who has been camping can get behind how scary this is. I also loved the mockumentary the Sci Fi Channel did to promote this movie.
|
 | The Fog (Special Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.15 I usually get some crap for this, but The Fog is my favorite John Carpenter movie. I know Halloween is one of the best movies ever, but I love a good ghost story so I love The Fog. Creepy, creepy pissed off leper ghosts.
|
 | Kwaidan - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $13.00 Japanese ghost stories. Fantastically done, incredibly creepy.
|
 | The Others (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $1.73 Nicole Kidman is scary enough in this one as a crazy mom.
|
 | The Sixth Sense (Collector's Edition Series)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $2.00 Say what you want to about NKOTB, but Donnie Wahlberg is great in this.
|
 | The Haunting
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $6.49 A classic. Lesbian undertones and all, which I don't really care about because lesbians aren't scary.
|
 | Topper/Topper Returns
Buy used from: $11.99 Not scary, but when it comes to ghosts, who doesn't love Topper?
|
 | The Skeleton Key (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.24 More "Ooga Booga" than actually scary, but it is a good classic American ghost story.
|
 | Ghost Ship (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.60 I was surprised at how much I loved this movie!
|
 | The Grudge
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.01 This is the one time I will say I enjoyed the remake more than the original. It moved more slowly and was therefore more creepy, had more backstory and was just darker. Not in feeling, but the actual lighting was darker and it made for a creepier atmosphere.
|
 | An American Haunting (Unrated Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $0.57 An interesting take on the Tenessee legend of the Bell Witch, the only time in American history when a ghost was officially documented as the cause of death. This is a little different, but still winds up dealing with one of the scariest things that exists.
|
 | The Amityville Horror
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.10 Another classic wether it is true or not. Jody the pig, there isn't much scarier than that.
|
 | The Ring (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $0.38 I loved this one. I loved the idea that bad things happen when people who aren't supposed to have children have them anyway.
|
 | The Devil's Backbone (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $7.49 Fantastic Spanish ghost story.
|
 | Sleepy Hollow
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $2.68 Another love it or hate it title. Very good re-telling of the Washington Irving tale. A bit gory, quite sexy, and worth it for Christopher Walken alone.
