So pop some corn and grab a friend for protection, then settle in with the best horror movies for a fright-fest.
Arachnophobia
If a spider in the bath gives you the shivers, this isn’t the film for you. When a deadly arachnid is inadvertently brought back from the Amazon, it sparks a wave of mysterious deaths. Only the local doctor – an unfortunate arachnophobe – can track down the killer, destroy its nest and save the town from being completely over-run. Or should we say over-crawled?
10 Cloverfield Lane
After being knocked unconscious in a car crash, a young woman wakes up in a bunker, apparently the only safe place left after a massive chemical attack. But all is not what it seems underground, and she must decide whether to escape and risk life in the outside world.
The Blair Witch Project
If you go down to the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise. The college students who venture off in search of the Blair Witch had clearly never heard that line or they’d have stayed well away. Ground-breaking in its time for its found-footage style, this ‘is it real or not?’ horror movie is captivating and chilling in equal measure.
IT
When the children of a small town in Maine start being picked off by a mysterious murderer, seven kids set out to put a stop to the killings. But with a shapeshifting demon preying on their deepest, darkest fears, can they stick together to take down the clown? Warning: if you didn’t suffer from coulrophobia before, this Stephen King horror movie adaptation could induce a full-on fear of all things clown-y.

Bram Stoker's Dracula
Francis Ford Coppola’s take on the 1897 novel puts a romantic spin on the original vampire tale. Four hundred years after the death of his wife Elisabeta, a grieving Count Dracula sets his heart on her doppelganger, a young woman he believes to be a reincarnation of his love. Setting off from Transylvania for London to win her over, only the vampire-hunter Van Helsing stands in his way.
Blade
Half human, half immortal, vampire-hunter Blade is on a mission to avenge his mother’s death. But little does he know that the dark underworld he’s about to take on is in the grip of a power struggle of its own. Blood thirsty and hell-bent on wresting control from his elders, young vampire Deacon Frost is out to destroy the pure-bloods and wipe out humanity. Cue bloody battles set to a pumping 90s soundtrack – a weird but ultimately winning horror movie combo.
Saw
When two strangers wake up chained to the pipes of a bathroom, there seems to be one obvious way out. But the games are just beginning…Gripping and gory, the first of the Saw horror movies is undoubtedly the best, and well worth a watch. Just make sure you’ve got something (or someone) to hide behind when the going gets gruesome.
Alien vs. Predator
While on an Antarctic dig, a team of archaeologists discovers a mysterious underground pyramid packed with prehistoric human remains, apparently the victims of ritual sacrifice. But who or what were they killed for, and when might they be back for more? Caught in the crossfire between two deadly forces, the humans must pick a side if they’re to make it out alive.
