You can’t beat the original \*Night of the Living Dead \*for horror. Lots of gore, but somehow in black and white it is even scarier!

Also, while not strictly horror, \*Play Misty For Me \*is the one movie that scared me more than any other. With absolutely nothing supernatural about it, there is no reason NOT to believe that it could really happen to you!

I cannot recommend _The Woman in Black_ enough. Not only one of the best horror movies I’ve ever seen, but one of the better movies generally I’ve seen in the past year or so.

I streamed about half of the original Thai _Shutter_ over Netflix and it just wasn’t working for me (the movie, that is, not the stream itself). I got bored and gave up.
