Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.99
Proves horror doesn’t have to be blood and guts to be scary. Truly spine tingly moments that scared me as an adult, not to mention ‘that twist’ which if you didn’t see coming will blow your socks off.

You can’t get better genuine scares & laughs crammed so close together than this classic. Decapitations, Jenny Agutter naked, a Rik Mayall cameo & Bad Moon Rising by John Fogerty. Enough said

Buy used from: £5.96
Whole concept is media studies legend now, but never has there been a stir about a £20k film like there was about this. Scares to the bone, terrifying climax and hugely original.
Evil Dead 2 - Dead By Dawn [DVD] [1987]Evil Dead 2 - Dead By Dawn [DVD] [1987]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.50
Legendary cult classic that’s as famous because of Ash that it is for its outrageously crappy FX. So bad it's good, hammy acting, ridiculous story, replaces possessed hand with chainsaw, classic!

Hellraiser [DVD] [1987]Hellraiser [DVD] [1987]

Probably some of the most grotesque images seen on the screen, torture scenes from the mind of a madman. Hell has never been made so unappealing. Pinhead – what a gem of a name!

Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.43
Famous for it's ‘Heeerres Jonny’ scene, but has so many terrifying scenes you really forget it's Jack Nicholson and could believe that he is a loon who’s been living in an abandoned hotel for eternity
A Nightmare On Elm Street [DVD] [1984]A Nightmare On Elm Street [DVD] [1984]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.29
Before the sequels got carried away there was an absolutely serious horror that created a monster we were all afraid we’d dream of back in the 80’s. One, two Freddy’s coming for you...
Mirrors [DVD] [2008]Mirrors [DVD] [2008]

Jumpy modern horror that threw up a few genuinely mortifying scenes – what happens to Amy Smart is literally the worse thing I could imagine happening to that pretty face…
Pet Sematary [1989] [DVD]Pet Sematary [1989] [DVD]

Old scary adaptation of that old scary man Stephen King’s old scary book. Probably these days it’s a little dated but childhood memories tells me it was a creepy one.
Awake [DVD] [2006]Awake [DVD] [2006]
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.19
Despite what Jessica Alba does to the main guy in this story I’d still take her back if I was him. For punishment. Yeah that’s right, punishment.
