    What you got? I lean towards the cheesy 70s or 80s films, but open to anything. The last few I can recall watching and enjoying were:

    Village of the Damned
    Salem’s Lot
    Poltergeist
    Children of the Corn

    Not talking highbrow cinema here, just films to put on with a glass of Lagavulin…

    Paper house.
    80’s British horror flick that’s darker than most horrors.

    Watched it when I was in a student house then crept out and hit the main switch plunging the house into darkness, grabbed somebody’s ankles while they were feeling their way to the kitchen. Nobody slept properly for a couple of days after that.

    From Dusk Till Dawn. Shall I close the thread now?

    Evil Dead 2 / Army of Darkness.

    Ash vs The Evil Dead for more Chin goodness (though TV not film).

    I remember loving the Return of the Living Dead series at the time, but I’ve not watched them in like 20 years now.

    I saw this late at night on Channel 4 one Christmas, either ’89 or ’90 I think. Loved it, it was part of a season, can’t remember what others there were. Something with ‘Ghost’ in the title I suspect.

    The recent IT isn’t bad.

    Proper B-movie and I’m never sure if it’s proper horror but Bad Taste.

    Whatever you do don’t watch Dreamcatcher (a Stephen King novel originally). Just awful.

    The 1963 version of The Haunting and The Ring (Japanese version). I found both good for constipation.

    Pan’s Labyrinth. Creepy as heck, the humans are the true monsters. Saw it at the cinema, I can’t bring myself to watch it again.

    The Shining. Watched as a kid at a friend’s house, when it finished it was dark outside and I had to cycle a few miles home in the snow. Proper shitting myself. Cycled in the middle of the road for most of it.

    I highly recommend “The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue”. It’s a 1970’s Italian horror film dubbed into English. I saw it at a horror film festival at the National Media museum a few years ago, it’s actually very good!

    The latest Halloween is worth a watch. Decent homage to the original although a tad suburban Terminator in feel.

    Geralds Game and 1922 on Netflix are worth a punt if you like King. In the tall grass is shite, but fun shite.

    The latest one that I really, really enjoyed was Hereditary. It’s a slow burn but very worth it.

    We just watched “They Live ” by John Carpenter. It was 80’s, cheesy, with poor special effects and dodgy acting. I liked it 🙂

    Drag me to Hell – Sam Raimi’s return to horror after the Hollywood Spiderman films.

    There’s still something about the plausibility of The Exorcist that gets me.
    First time I saw it in a special showing at a local cinema aged 19 my pulse went through the roof and I had to walk out. Fared better second time round.

    I watched some of ‘The Exorcism of Emily Rose’ that freaked me out a few years ago. Something happens in that film at 3am…for 3 of the next 4 nights I woke up at or within a few minutes of 3am which shit me up too. Can’t really do them type of horror flicks anymore.

    Interesting to see quite a few films I wouldn’t have classed as horror listed above, but I suppose that’s what Twin Peaks was really.

    Arguably more so than the Evil Dead titles.

    Not really a horror fan myself, but have enjoyed Get Out and Cabin in the Woods recently.

    Ooh, I know.

    It’s not strictly horror, but if you haven’t seen Tucker & Dale vs Evil then that’s something you need to rectify immediately.

    Also, The Cabin in the Woods.
