Yet somehow, the original Halloween by John Carpenter is the one exception. It's utterly captivating and terrifying without relying on excessive gore and sensationalist violence, and it makes for the ideal group movie-watching session around Halloween time. Plus, you gotta love Jamie Lee Curtis' performance. It's simply a great movie."

Halloween - #2May 25, 2018"I first saw Scary Movie as a kid, and I have to say, it still remains one of my favorite movies to this day. If you are in the mood for a horror comedy spoofing on Scream and I know What You Did Last Summer you can't go wrong with this star-studded movie! This is a great movie for people really into horror movies. With actors like Shawn Wayans and Jon Abrahams what's not to like?"

Scary Movie - #3October 9, 2018"The first time I watched this was on my phone and it was years agooooooo. perhaps a long time ago? And I don't remember the story anymore becasue I always get confused with this one and the Misery of stephen king also. Then my brother and I just decided to watch this together with mom and dad since it's still on netflix, and yeah it's still scary af!!"

The Shining - #4November 14, 2018"Just saw this movie on Netflix and was surprised by how good it is. Its quite original and has good character development (which is hard to say for most horror movies lately). It doesn't rely on obvious tired jump scares, but manages to build a very creepy atmosphere throughout. A great find!"

The Ritual - #5October 9, 2018"I only found out from my best friend that this is already available on Netflix! I mean I know it's quite old but yeah I haven't seen this one yet before and only heard the comments. And now that I got to watch it, I can say that it's perfect to watch at night during the halloween day! LOL"

The Conjuring - #6May 31, 2018"I rented this movie for Halloween, thinking I was getting a horror movie that would scare me and my friends. Oh how wrong I was. This clearly is not a horror and is a cheesy comedy parody, how disappointing! This is false advertising, what movie called 'Scary Movie' isn't scary?!"

Scary Movie 2 - #7June 2, 2018"You can't go wrong with some classic horror. I love the Scream series and think it was one of the more popular ones in the past few decades. Typical deaths that happen to the teens that try to get away and it doesn't always end up well. I am glad I decided to get this again."

The Open House - #9May 29, 2018"A great, classic Halloween film! My family and I watch Young Frankenstein every year on Halloween as part of our Halloween tradition. It might not be your classic scary movie, but Gene Wilder's performance is incomparable and a little comedy never hurt anyone."

Young Frankenstein - #10October 9, 2018"I've already read the book but I got curious with the film adaptation so I checked this one out on Netflix, so far, Stephen King never fails to scare me!! I mean this adaptation is soo close with the story of the author, but the movie is much creepier!!! 😲"
