All In London Gallery

Need a good scare this Halloween? ... watch X-Factor (joke, obvs). Check out our top 10 list of scary films that will scare the flip out of you.

The Shining
The Shining
(1980) - The Shining is absolutely terrifying, in a good way.
The Ring
The Ring
(2002) - You can tell from the poster for this film that it's probably going to be on the scarier side of scary.
The Blair Witch Project
The Blair Witch Project
(1999) The Blair Witch Project utilises the most frightening special effects CGI engine in the world... your own imagination!
Insidious
Insidious
(2010) Insidious - moving house can be a stressful time, organising the movers, updating addresses, realising the new house is haunted by a malevolent entity etc etc
The Conjuring
The Conjuring
(2003) - The Conjuring tells the story of paranormal investigators who are faced with the most horrifying case of their lives. It's apparently a true story, just depends on your definition of "True".
The Wicker Man
The Wicker Man
(1973) - The Wicker Man is a clever and surreal horror movie, it has a frightening subtlety that still makes you pee yourself.
The Evil Dead
The Evil Dead
(1981) - Five college students on holiday in an abandoned mountain cabin miles from anywhere, what could go wrong?
Poltergeist
Poltergeist
(1982) - Poltergeist is about a middle class family's young daughter Carol Ann who is being held on another spectral plane accessed via the TV.
A Nightmare on Elm Street
A Nightmare on Elm Street
(1984) A story about "Freddy Krueger" who attacks you in your dreams whilst you sleep... but what happens in the dream is real, but still a dream, but also real... yes it's deeply flawed but very frightening.
Halloween
Halloween
(1978) - Halloween is probably the most apt film to watch on Halloween but be warned it's, like, super scary... right? That concludes the list, we'll be watching Talladega Nights as we don't like horror films.
