Be it the old classics like \u201cThe Mummy\u201d or \u201cBride of Frankenstein\u201d or even the cult classic \u201cHocus Pocus\u201d, nothing beats the simple charm of a Halloween classic. And what\u2019s better than watching a horror classic from the impressive selection on offer by Amazon Prime? Not much, we\u2019d say.<\/p>\n Looking for something classic? Go for \u201cAn American Werewolf in London\u201d or \u201cNight of the Living Dead\u201d? Seen those already and looking for something new?

Things take a sharp turn when Rosemary gets convinced that she has actually been impregnated by Satan’s child.<\/p>\n VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/p>\n Source: CDR<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The advent of torture porn, the movie revolves around a terminal cancer patient who decides to punish all those who don’t appreciate life in his own grisly manner. Call it his justice. Or just, you know, don’t!<\/p>\n VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/p>\n Source: CDR<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Directorial debuts don\u2019t get much better than what\u00a0Robert Eggers\u00a0pulled off with “The Witch”, an immersive, atmospheric exercise in the existential dread of the fanatically devout in 17th Century New England.<\/p>\n VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/p>\n Source: CDR<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n This movie introduced the concept of home-invasion horror before it became popular with “Halloween”. Every man in “Blood and Lace” is oozing filth as they all try to get their hands on a teen who talks a big talk about her experience with love. Cringe-inducing? HELL YES! Boring? HELL NO!<\/p>\n VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/p>\n Source: CDR<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n This Italian technicolor fever dream of lavish violence and operatic production design follows a young American ballet dancer abroad at a prestigious German dance academy where she uncovers an ancient, sinister coven of witches. Famous for its wildly violent kills, this movie is a trip!<\/p>\n VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/p>\n Source: CDR<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The movie is an enigmatic occult drama that conjures a spellbinding, nightmarish thrall of Satanic menace. The creepy slow-burn is complemented by punctuating moments of violence throughout its run-time.<\/p>\n VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/p>\n Source: CDR<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Director Taika Waititi will soon be a big name Stateside with “Thor: Ragnarok” but in 2014, he directed and starred in the horror-comedy “What We Do in the Shadows” that revolved around a coven of vampires and their long-standing rivalry with a band of werewolves that is as grisly as it is funny.<\/p>\n VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/p>\n Source: CDR<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The zombies in\u00a0George A. Romero\u2019s “Night of the Living Dead” are called \u201cghouls\u201d but nonetheless this is the film that created the movie zombie as we know them: blank, thoughtless creatures who lumber around with vacant stares and barely retain any resembling sense of their humanity. For this reason, the thrill of the movie zombie has generally been in seeing how our heroes with brains dispatch them with great efficiency and cruelty.<\/p>\n VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/p>\n Source: CDR<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Based on\u00a0Mike Carey\u2018s hit YA novel from a screenplay he penned himself, the movie takes place in an apocalyptic dystopia where the world has been ravaged by mold-covered zombies called \u201cHungries\u201d. We pick up with the survivors of a military camp, where they\u2019re searching for a cure by experimenting on different, trickier kind of monster \u2014 human\/hungry hybrid children who look, think, and act like your average school kids\u2026 until they catch the scent of live flesh and the monster comes out.<\/p>\n VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/p>\n Source: CDR<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Considered by many to be one of the best horror films in cinematic history now that its cult status has been firmly cemented, John Landis\u2019 dark horror-comedy “An American Werewolf in London” has set itself apart from all other werewolf films that came before it and have come since. Notable for the make-up special effects work of\u00a0Rick Baker, for which the film won the inaugural Oscar for Outstanding Achievement in Make-Up, the visceral, bone-crunching werewolf transformation will haunt your dreams for a long time.<\/p>\n VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/p>\n Source: CDR<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The setup of the movie is simple, and it\u2019s all in the title, a group of good kids make a detour in Texas where they are massacred one by one, sometimes with a chainsaw. It\u2019s a genre-defining entry in backwoods horror, a relentless onslaught of butchery that invokes sledgehammers and meat hooks and, of course, chainsaws as implements of horrific violence and depravity.<\/p>\n VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/p>\n Source: CDR<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s absurd, unapologetic, and indecent by just about every conventional standard, but the beauty of “The Greasy Strangler” is the fact that it doesn\u2019t care about conventional standards at all.<\/p>\n VIEW AT AMAZON<\/a><\/p>\n Source: CDR<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n A partying punk band wanders into the thick of Neo-Nazi territory when their planned gig falls through. Led by\u00a0Imogen Poots,\u00a0Alia Shawkat\u00a0and\u00a0Anton Yelchin\u00a0(whose untimely death still staggers the mind), the young\u00a0ne’er do wells square off against the most militant red laces.\u00a0Patrick Stewart, cast brilliantly against type, plays their charming leader Darcy with a terrifying calm and calculating confidence, and his no-guns rule means that every kill comes hard and cuts deep.<\/p>\n So, what do you think of the list?
