Selections are listed by title.
The Blair Witch Project (R).
Now that the hype has died down, you can enjoy this film for what it is: a scary campfire tale come to life. The filmmakers truly understand the appeal of ghost story telling, where what you think you hear in the dark woods is much scarier than what you actually see. A modern day horror classic, period.
A Chinese Ghost Story (NR).
More a supernatural action film than a ghost story, this unique and crazy Hong Kong film is a lot of fun for fans of the horror, fantasy and action genres, and is much beloved by Steven Spielberg and many other Hollywood directors. And they throw in a love story to boot! See what the fuss is all about.
The Eye (R).
A blind woman receives an eye transplant and, as she recovers, begins seeing creepy visions. Is she just getting used to her new eyesight, or is she seeing ghosts? A very unique ghost story from Hong Kong, with loads of unsettling imagery.
The Haunting (G).
Without a doubt, the scariest haunted house movie ever made. You never really see the ghosts, but you certainly hear them, and that's more than enough! Not to be confused with the awful 1999 remake.
The Ring (R).
Not a perfect film, but it's central premise - about a videotape that kills you as soon as you watch it - works because when we actually see the video, it really IS scary and unsettling. A dark, moody and dreamlike film that creeps up on you.
The Twilight Zone - Collection 5 (NR).
This collection is worth purchasing primarily for the creepy adaptation of Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," which later won an Academy Award. This Civil War tale about a doomed Confederate soldier whose life flashes before him at his execution is eerie and unforgettable. Of course, the other episodes are classics, and there's plenty of bonus material for the Twilight Zone junkie.
