Must-See Spooky Movies

'Exists' When brothers Brian and Matt Tover secretly sneak out to their Uncle's long abandoned cabin in East Texas for a party weekend with their friends, they find themselves hunted by the legendary Sasquatch -- a creature that's smarter, stronger and more terrifying than they would have ever believed.
'Call Girl of Cthulhu' Inspired by the work of H.P. Lovecraft, "Call Girl of Cthulhu" is about a virginal artist who falls in love with an escort, only to realize she's the chosen bride of the alien god Cthulhu.

To save her (and the rest of mankind), he must stop an ancient cult from summoning their god. A not to be missed homage to ‘80s and ‘90s schlock films.
'Suburban Gothic' Raymond has a prestigious MBA, but he can't find work. He can channel the paranormal, but chatting with a cute girl mystifies him.

Kicked out of his big city apartment, Raymond returns home to his overbearing mother, ex-jock father and beer-bellied classmates.

When a vengeful ghost terrorizes the small town, the city boy recruits Becca, a badass local bartender, to solve the mystery of the spirit threatening everyone's lives.
'Mar Negro' (Dark Sea) A strange contamination strikes a fishermen's village. When fish and shellfish become evil creatures that transmit death and destruction, the lonely Albino risks his soul for the love of his life, in a desperate fight for survival.
'The Hills Have Eyes' Local legend Count Gore De Vol (Dick Dyszel) returns to present another terrifying film in the spirit of the original broadcasts on "Creature Feature," with interactive intermissions and lots of ghoulish good fun and surprises in store.

On the way to California, a family has the dreadful misfortune to have their car break down in an area closed to the public and inhabited by violent savages ready to attack. "Wes Craven's blood-and-bone frightener about an all-American family at the mercy of cannibal mutants is a satisfying piece of pulp." -- Variety
'A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night' In the Iranian ghost-town Bad City, a place that reeks of death and loneliness, the townspeople are unaware they are being stalked by a lonesome vampire.

Another standout from this year's Sundance Film Festival, "A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night" has become one of the more provocative genre films to come out in recent years.
'The Babadook' From breakthrough writer-director Jennifer Kent comes this creepy psychological horror movie, which has received an explosion of acclaim following its world premiere at Sundance 2014.

The film tells the story of a single mother, plagued by the violent death of her husband, who battles with her son's nighttime fear of a shadowy monster. But soon she discovers a sinister presence is lurking in the house.
