As Halloween approaches and passes we take a look at some of the scariest movies that have hit our screens. There\'s nothing better than to dim the lights down on a cold winter\'s night with a hot cup of tea or cocoa and put on a scary movie. Recently horror films have taken a sinister turn and are now much darker than they used to ever be.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Both the original version and the remake of this are awesome movies; it adds more of a scare factor because you know it is in fact based on a true story. From the very moment the film starts you can feel a lot of tension. This has to be one of the all time great horror movies.
The Sixth Sense
The movie did not really promote itself as a horror, but when watching this it does give you that chilling feeling, who would have guessed that Bruce Willis\'s character was dead after all? I never did.
Nightmare on Elm Street
Probably one of the first scary movies that I actually watched and boy was it scary in it\'s hey day. I still remember the saying \"Remember, No running in the hallway\".
Scream
I think the scream movie is what brought a whole new genre to the horror films. The \"Who done it\" climax was amazing, but has since been used so many times that you really know what to expect, another version was I know what you did last summer which was also great in its day.
The Exorcist
Probably labelled as one of the scariest films of all time, The Exorcist delivers a chilling supernatural horror; decades after its creation people all over the world still flock to see it.
The Omen
Another very scary movie, the remake brought the story to life and it had some very entertaining adrenaline pumping moments, which were full of scares.
Psycho
In all honesty I think the remake was much better than the original version of the film on this occasion. It brought fear into staying in a motel room.
Jeepers Creepers
Well I have mixed reviews about this, some people say that it is awesome but I think that this was way overrated. When I first watched this, the opening scenes were great, you didn\'t know what to expect. But then this hideous monster appeared and it was kind of funny because people were expecting it to be a real human.
Hostel
A bit more gore than horror, but this film was a big shocker, who would have thought that people all the way from Amsterdam would get brought to a village in the middle of no where. Very scary.
There are many more horror films which have hit our screens which should be worth a quick mention such as The Haunting, Poltergeist, The Shining, Halloween, The Vanishing, Don\'t Look Now, Chucky, The Ring the Grudge and many many more.
