MAGIC? You mean the Anthony Hopkins killer dummy movie? Not a ghost story, I didn't think...

5. HOUSE (1977) Insane surreal Japanese ghost story.
Once again, my brain fails to work in this subgenre driven-style. However HAUSU is my #1 on almost any list. :smile:
When we did favorite filmmakers some weeks back I thought about including Nobuhiko Obayashi. But in truth I've only seen two of his films. (They're hard to track down!) But I've seen HAUSU like 167 times and it keeps getting funnier every single time.
And incidentally BEETLEJUICE would be my #2. :wink:

7 The Conjuring 2 (2016)
8 The Sixth Sense (1999)
9 The Conjuring (2013)
10 Insidious (1008)

2. Ghost (1990)

4. Sweet Home (1989)

7. TORMENTED (1960)

In no order....
The Haunting
The Changeling
The Others
The Sixth Sense
The Shining
Paranormal Activity
Carnival of Souls
The Devil's Backbone
The Masque of the Red Death, animated, Spanish, done a few years ago.
(I canNOT think of this one's name but I'd say 1940s, British, the starring actress used the word "shan't" a lot, and her mom was the ghost named Camille. Hey, I was only about eight when I saw it but I never forgot it.)
^I believe the film in question is the UNINVITED (1944). The mother ghost was Carmel.
Here's a trailer-
http://youtu.be/siqSUaML-Ig (http://youtu.be/siqSUaML-Ig)
I believe you are right. :thumbup:
I saw that on a local station's afternoon movie in 1987 and it stayed in my mind.
^ It IS a great film! And I'll watch anything with Ray Milland!

147. Hellgate (1989)
That's a South African horror film I had forgotten about: made during the controversial "subsidy era" scandal in the 1980s.

Me too. It makes you feel like when you got scared of things as a kid. Being a kid can be f**king terrifying.

I do like all of those
VAL LEWTON produced B movies a lot!
THE SEVENTH VICTIM might be the best!
9. 1408 (2007) was f**ked up. I loved it. Very under rated horror film.
Watch this movie and listen to the Butthole Surfers and smoke pot at the same time.
