I like scary movies. I lean towards the cerebral or the realistic, rather than the absurd slasher – but there’s a place in my heart for them, too. So, in honor of the upcoming holiday, I’m crowd-sourcing my mandatory Halloween horror movie marathon.

What sort of movies do I like? I think *28 Days Later* is one of the best zombie movies ever made, as is *Quarantine*

(though not technically zombies). I think 

Hostel is silly. I like blood and gore, but not nonsense like *Scream*. *The Blair Witch Project* made me uncomfortable, which is a good thing, but the style is overplayed these days. *The Shining, The Excorcist* and *Hellraiser* are awesome. Some of the Japanese movies are good, such as *The Ring*, including their American remakes.

So now you’ve got a good idea for the sort of stuff I like. Give me five movies I should watch this week to get ready for All Hallows’ Eve.
