  1. – ‘The Blair Witch Project’ will always be an annual Halloween flick for me.. it started it all really, and nostalgia pretty much demands a yearly viewing.
    – ‘The Poughkeepsie Tapes’
    – ‘The Sacrament’
    – ‘Cannibal Holocaust’

    Definitely a few of my favourites; I tried to limit myself to three.. but, ‘Cannibal Holocaust’ is just so iconic I couldn’t stop myself. ‘The Sacrament’ was so good for me, because I do lots of research / work on serial killings and homicide in general and the Jonestown massacre is a case that’s always fascinated me. ‘The Sacrament’ was really well done.. as was ‘The Poughkeepsie Tapes’. I will forever have my closet completely door free, with only curtains there that I tie back!!

  3. Well the first one maybe isn’t in the true “horror” genre, but I’ll say number one-
    ‘The Sacrament’ by Eli Roth.
    ‘Cannibal Holocaust’. ‘
    ‘Cloverfield’.

    • The ending of “The Sacrament” is pretty horrific! So it more than qualified. 🙂

    I’ll go with these: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, THE LAST BROADCAST, ALIEN ABDUCTION (it’s better than expected), THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, CLOVERFIELD, BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3, SKEW, THE LAST HORROR MOVIE, and THE TAKING OF DEBORAH LOGAN.

  20. For Halloween I think part of the fun is re-watching super accessible films with people who have never seen them, so finding movies that are really fun for most people and have a high production value are key. I’d go with [REC], [REC 2], V/H/S, Paranormal Activity, Cloverfield. I think these are all, fun, accessible, and something you can just throw on in October and just enjoy them.

    • Devil’s Pass is a GREAT FF Film.

      Is “Yellow Brick Road” found footage? From what I’ve seen the film appears to be cinematically shot for the most part.

  24. The Houses October Built (2014)- for the pure ambience,it seems to capture halloween for me
    Digging Up The Marrow (2014)- this was just fun to watch the creatures are perfect for halloween
    Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon cause in the movies reality all horror movie villains exist
