	The Bride Of Frankenstein [DVD] [1935] Buy new: £4.88 / Used from: £1.61 'Frankenstein' is a great movie, but the sequel is even better! Very moving...
	Dellamorte Dellamore [Uncut German Import] Buy used from: £9.99 Great movie by Michele Soavi. Very weird and very beautiful. Rupert Everett in one of his best roles. By the same director: 'Deliria' (very creepy!).
	Black Sunday / The Mask Of Satan [1968] [DVD] Buy used from: £12.54 Mario Bava is one of the best Italian horror directors. This is his most famous movie, with the eerie Barbara Steele.
	Scream [DVD] [1997] Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £1.23 'Scream' is very scary, 'Scream 2' is even scarier. 'Scream 3' is a disappointment. Wes Craven also made 'A nightmare on Elm Street' (good) and 'The last house from the left' (horrific).
	Rec [DVD] [2007] Buy new: £17.59 / Used from: £2.43 'Rec.' is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. The last scene is unforgettable.

	Interview With The Vampire -- Special Edition [DVD] [1995] Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.48 I saw this sexy, homoerotic movie many times. The movie looks terrific and Tom Cruise proves he can act!
	Freaks [1932] [DVD] Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.10 'Freaks' was forbidden for decades and half an hour was cut and is lost. But the movie still shocks!
	Jaws [DVD] [1976] Buy used from: £3.99 This was the first horror movie I saw in a cinema. It's still as scary as it was in the 70s.

	The Phantom Of The Opera [1925] [DVD] Buy new: £13.88 / Used from: £8.98 Very old (1925!) and very slow, but with some unforgettable scenes. And Lon Chaney is excellent!
