To make sure that you have a happy Halloween we’ve compiled a small list of eight films that will keep you awake at night.

Lars von Trier’s Antichrist proved that chaos does reign.

image

In The Shining the Overlook Hotel is scary enough, but add in ghost twins and it’s just scarier.

image

The film Funny Games may be more terrifying than horrifying but scary all the same.

image

1980’s The Changeling is another haunted house story but this time with balls.

image

Hitchcock’s Psycho will make you rethink showers … and corpses.

image

It may have come from a scary game, so it had a head start in the fright department, but Silent Hill will definitely keep you up at night.

image

Session 9 proved that abandoned mental hospitals weren’t scary enough.

image

Pulse, or Kairo as it’s known in its native Japan, is quite horrific but, also a fantastic film.
