Poltergeist (1982)
Try to picture this: A modern American family resides in a comfortable suburban home that is haunted. Poltergeist takes the terror of ghosts from classic manor houses and relocates it to middle America.

Eyes Without a Face (1960)
In this unforgettably mesmerizing French classic, Jean-Pierre Franju’s unease masked through horror films tells the story of a skilled yet disturbed plastic surgeon who abducts women in order to fix the ugly disfigurement he caused to his daughter in an accident. The film shows darkness through mute grief that builds tension throughout the film and saps the emotion of loss into entertainment.
Psycho (1960)
Remarkably depicting the elements of horror, Psycho is without a doubt the most renowned masterpiece of Alfred Hitchcock. This is a film that is not only full of surprises but because of its unexpected twists and action.” Psycho is not linear, like most horror films, but is characterized by a very dynamic approach to film structure”. Marion Crane, a secretary who comes upon some trouble, steals money from a establishment , books herself into the infamous motel. Norman Bates’ motel is the hub of psychos anyway, right? “Even if the horror flick is now plastered all over pop culture, Psycho, while stating, is a deep-rooted classic that continues to impact, terrorize, and mold the horror viewport. Key point focussing reader in terms of experience regarding such movie is …”
Carnival of Souls (1962)
Upon witnessing a fatal incident, a woman shifts to a new place only to encounter traumatic incidents and apparitions of people that are no longer alive. Carnival of Souls, on the other hand, has quickly attracted the attention of horror enthusiasts, and for good reason: it has distinct aesthetics and an unusual atmosphere that destroys the boundary between reality and dreams. This one might just be the one for the back cries as it will burst your eardrums so wait for the effect it might have “Works as suspense on the psyche. Highly Recommend this one,”.
The Haunting (1963)
Directed by Robert Wise, Anastasiya and Linda become the protagonists of the show, where paranormal activities happen in a house previously owned by a doctor. Psychologist Dr. John Markway recruits a small group to spend the night at a mansion rumored to be haunted. Eleanor appears to be a strong and intelligent woman, but externally, she begins to experience disturbing and sinister emotional disturbances. Adopted from the novel of the same name by Shirley Jackson, this picture is more of “psychological terror” and psychological horror film so you are all left to figure it out for yourself.
Rosemary’s Baby (1968)
Young recently married couple relocates in a new house, its spacy doors and decor is quite intriguing at first, but the flatmates take the eccentric to blunt horrifying. The situation worsens as Rosemary’s pregnancy progresses and she indeed fears herself to be part of an evil occult faction. Rosemary’s Baby is a well-structured horror film though it takes time to build the real tension, which is not knowing who the antagonists are or what is inside the protagonist.
The Night of the Hunter (1955)
Chilling in the deep South, watch Reverend Powell, a troubled minister who after learning from his ex-con friend about a hidden treasure, seeks out the family to claim it for himself. Thanks to the beautiful yet jarring imagery in The Night of the Hunter, the film sits somewhere between horror and noir in its aesthetics. A clockwork orange it is, split into the comic angle among the characters with serious interpretation.
Suspiria (1977)
With Ukraine’s rich history and beautiful landscapes, Suspiria manages unsettling sounds and haunting environments to focus more on redefining horror with a dark brothered fairytale. A ballet dancer accompanies her friend to an exclusive ballet school for a few weeks, but soon realizes that darker magic is present. It is impossible to speak about the impression left by this Italian film which through effects and mystical scenes provides a superb opportunity to watch it on Halloween.
The Birds (1963)
Laced with symbolism, the film has many references to femininity, an unseen force that destroys and rends. The Birds does indeed have its fair share of dream-induced confounding as well as solid grotesqueness, especially in relation to Hitchcock’s other works.
Hocus Pocus (1993)
Every one of its viewers has accepted Hocus Pocus as a Halloween classic. This supernatural film depicts three witches trying to look for children to devour, so they can remain eternally young. It’s a great movie.
