October is Here...Halloween and Horror

Since it's October, a month when we typically think of ghosts and goblins, monsters and demons. I figured that we'd discuss some of the best movies and books that scare us. I'm going to list a few that I find scary or creepy, and I want you to feel free to add your favorites in a comment below.

Movies 

1. The Last House on the Left
2.  Wolf Creek
3.  The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
4. The Devil's Rejects
5.  The Exorcist 
6. The Omen 
7.  Rosemary's Baby
8.  Psycho
9.  Halloween
10.   The Shining

My top 10 list of movies either scared me, or left me with a lasting memory. Some movies you'll watch but not long after you'll have forgotten them. None of these movies are like that to me.


Books

1.  The Shining
2. The Girl Next Door
3. The Haunting of Hill House

4. Off Season

5.   Pet Sematary
6.   Fever Dreams and Disturbing Visions
7.   Misery
8.  Salem's Lot
9.   Ghost Story
10.   Red Dragon (Hannibal Lecter #1)  

 These are all books that I have read and enjoyed. I found them to be either scary or creepy in some way. There are are four Stephen King books on the list, because he's pretty damn good. This is not a list of my favorite books, but these were some of the scarier reads.


Books II

1.  Teen Spirit
2.  The Keepers
3. Murder Machine

 These are my three books. There are two short stories and one novella. If you're looking for a scare, well then one of these books should take care of you.
