    No scary films on TV at all

    They are on the channels we don't usually watch,Dave etc.

    The most popular channels are churning out the usual Saturday night junk although ITV2 has the Celebrity Juice Halloween Special.

    Anyone seen The Visit?

    Yeah, it's grand but it totally falls apart in the third act.

    You can't beat Halloween, Return of The Living Dead, Christine etc,

    But, if you like cheesy 80's teen flicks, you could do worse than Trick or Treat (1986).

    It's about a fan of a devil worshiping rock star. Only has 5.6 on IMDB. The bastards.

    Not sure if it's on Netflix, but there's a poor quality version on YouTube.

    Of the 80s, the Thing is about the best. But a poor decade after the 70s saw horror take off. Lots of slasher efforts like Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th etc. The Evil Dead was decent, way over the top and lots of magic márla effects!

    Watched Tucker & Dale vs Evil last night, and tonight The House of the Devil is on the cards, just because Tom Noonan is in it. :D

    I want to watch one but I'm alone and don't fancy being freaked.

    I think Ringu and Audition are the ones I wouldn't watch alone.

    Can watch any torture porn Human Centipede type rubbish alone, but the creepy or ghost story ones...no way.

    What We Do in the Shadows is quality - one of my favourite films of the year - but it's pure comedy.

    Actually Housebound is a great horror comedy and its on Irish Netflix as well.

    Might give The Babadook a go, heard good things about it.

    I found this a bit meh. It set the tone well and then it was all a bit bland.

    Are there any really suspenseful scary films out there? I don't mind gore but would prefer none if possible.

    Def one of the better comedy horrors, the scene where he cuts through the wasps nest and does a Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre had my wife and me in stitches.

    That's the best way to watch a horror, alone in the dark

    A Nightmare on Elm Street is on Dave now, Freddy v Jason on Sky 1 at 11. Will be watching both nothing better than some Mr Krueger on Halloween :D

    Behind the mask: the rise and fall of Leslie Vernon is pretty good. Was a lot better than I was expecting

    Just watched that the other day. It's fantastic. I've been having a bit of a horror comedy run lately. A friend of mine was recommending Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer, so that might be up for a look soon.

    Fully agree about the Babadook.

    As for suspense, it's not a film but this was nice and creepy...

    I would love to be ten again and watch poltergeist one and two

    Nothing scares me now apart from certain aspects of real life

    Aye, in terms of atmosphere, Ringu is pretty much in a league of its own. Mind you, Ringu II was not all that bad either.

    White Noise is extremely frightening but I haven't seen it in years.

    Check out Housebound then and Peter Jackson's Braindead then. Tucker and Dale vs Evil is great too. I wasn't overly impressed by Jack Brooks.

    The Asians really injected life into the ghost story genre, after the western world seems to go for slashers and torture porn and kinda ruined horror. Hard Candy was one notably good effort from the US in recent years.

    Ah the scene where the hand of the doll comes from under the bed disturbed many a childhood.

    But think Picnic at Hanging Rock was the one that just really spooked me as a kid and left an uneasiness that I still remember. Read the book a few times after, have seen the film so many more times.

    That's one of my all time favourites. Really eerie.

    I'm watching Match Of The Day.

    Very few Hammer Horrors on Halloween night these days, those were the best. Lee, Cushing, Carlson, Shelley. Hard to beat after a night ducking for apples.

    To my shame, we're on page 4 and I've overlooked a stone cold classic in the eerie genre. Very little gore, if any, but just a film that is memorable for the build up of dread and the shocking revelation...

    A Tale of Two Sisters

    If you have to beg, borrow or steal it, if you have to download it illegally or get a pirate copy from an organisation that funds gangsters or terrorists, just watch it.

    Watching a film called 'as above, so below' about a group of people looking for treasure in the catacombs under Paris.

    It's a pile of shïte

    And with eerie music too...not as famous as Jaws or Halloween, but more effective and haunting...
