Just yet (you gotta watch a horror on Halloween) do not fear as I have made it easier for that scared little voice in all of your heads stuck between Insidious and Sinister :) Here is a list of my favourite horrors categorised to suit all- may have missed a few, there are so many out there! my choice is traditionally 'Halloween', So typical but Michael Myers' dodgy William Shatner mask (google it) and Carpenter's creepy instrumental always does the trick eek, ENJOY and watch with caution,
If you dare...
Modern horror
I agree the limited SFX, low level sets and bad hair dos can be off-putting. These horrors had budgets and plenty of fear factor

#Devil
#Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2
#Paranormal Activity
#Mama
#White Noise
Classic horror
It feels as though sometimes the stories these days just aren't cutting it-
Sequels are being made left, right and centre! Hit the old school shelf of movies (most are on tv all the time anyways) for a good creeping ;)

#The Omen
#The Changelling

Sentimental horror
Ok so you like the beating heart and sweaty palms but like to avoid the ongoing trauma
These films are for the subconscious which likes to play up around bed time- they will leave
You feeling well...a little less freaked out hopefully with their powerful and dramatic plots
