The Amityville HorrorThe Amityville Horror
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $0.04
This is the original. The hot, James Brolin version. You heard me right, old Babs' husband.
Underworld - Evolution (Widescreen Special Edition)Underworld - Evolution (Widescreen Special Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.89
Dear old Kate looks a bit like vamp in real life doesn't she. I mean that as a compliment.
Once BittenOnce Bitten
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $4.40
Classic. Jim Carrey before he was Jim Carrey getting molested in a mall dressing room by an old vamp. Hilarity Ensues.
Blade (New Line Platinum Series)Blade (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $0.27
This is the classic one, not the suped up creapy cockroach vampires of the 2nd one and not the Prison Break vamp and Ryan Reynold's jokes of the third one - that upstaging so-n-so. This is the first Blade that showcases all of Wesley Snipes in his tax evading glory.
Hellboy (Two-Disc Special Edition)Hellboy (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy used from: $0.41
Having to watch this 20 million times on Korean television made me really appreciate this film. Who knew that only the Nazi's could open the gates to hell ... probably everybody.
Ghost (Special Collector's Edition)Ghost (Special Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $6.75
Yeah, it's a romantic comedy, but it is about ghosts. You know that those shadow monsters still get you, and the white light is beautiful and if all your dead relatives are still hovering around, you might want to cut back on the self pleasuring.
Pet Sematary (Special Collector's Edition)Pet Sematary (Special Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.14
If your kid dies, don't bring him back from the dead. Necromancy is never a good idea.
Angel Heart (Special Edition)Angel Heart (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $2.00
Lisa Bonet got kicked off the Cosby Show for her turn in this movie. Mickey Rourke had her doing things that no Huxtable kid should be doing on film. This was back when Mickey was hot, you know, before the crack got his face.
Night WatchNight Watch
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $1.90
This isn't the Ewan McGregor doing 3rd shift at the morgue movie. This is the Russian apartment building/opening vortex to hell, why does everyone seem to die around that beautiful doctor movie. Those who already know what I'm talking about want to see it again, don't you. Yeah, me too.
The Mothman PropheciesThe Mothman Prophecies
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $0.75
This movie is creepy as hell. It gave me nightmares big time. What do you know about losing spans of time, people dropping like flies, and collective visions of a red-eyed Moth Man? Did I mention this was based on a true story and that this "creature" has been "seen" all over the world? Now, you're creeped out aren't you?

Classic floating balls of death. Do you hear the whir, you better duck.
Invasion of the Body SnatchersInvasion of the Body Snatchers
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $7.44
As always, the original, never the remake. But also check out the 1978 version. Just stay away from the Nicole Kidman version. Don't you folks know that remakes are never as good as the original (Yeah, I'm talking about you Hairspray) except for of course Ocean's 11.
Young FrankensteinYoung Frankenstein
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $5.95
List not complete without Mel Brooks.

What's on the other side of Pluto? I don't think you want to know.
The Ring (Widescreen Edition)The Ring (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $0.01
The original, Ringu, is scarier - much like all Asian horror is scarier than the English remakes. But this one has better art direction.
Suspiria (2-Disc Special Edition)Suspiria (2-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $10.35
A dance hall hides a coven of witches.
The Witches of Eastwick (Keepcase)The Witches of Eastwick (Keepcase)

The Seventh SignThe Seventh Sign

Demi Moore gets touched by an angel, but which kind.
Constantine (Widescreen Edition)Constantine (Widescreen Edition)

I love this movie, the art direction is fan-freaking-tastic. I like the premise, too.

Oh my god, is her face moving underneath her face?
The CrowThe Crow by J. O'Barr
Buy new: $12.96 / Used from: $10.39
Brandon Lee is gonna get ya. Just as haunting as Heath Ledger even more so since he died actually making this film.
Death Becomes HerDeath Becomes Her
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $5.49
This movies is about how women feel about getting old, they'd rather sell their souls to the devil to avoid it.
Buffy the Vampire SlayerBuffy the Vampire Slayer

Anjelica Huston scaring the bejesus out little kids and mice alike in this classic movie from my youth.
Hocus PocusHocus Pocus

Bette Midler is the evil witch, Kathy Najimy is the dumb witch and Sarah Jessica Parker is the slutty witch and they all want to eat little children and steal their youth. Fabulous.
