Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I like my scary movies atmospheric, understated, and dripping with...

...dread. Hah! Not with blood. A litle sanguinity goes a long way for me. I don't find gore very appealing.

I don't think of myself as a horror movie fan, but if you look at the list below you'll see that's not quite true - in fact, I'm a big fan of *good* scary movies, especially ghost stories. I simply prefer my creepy flicks a bit more elegant and restrained than say...Halloween or Saw 2.



BTW: Please don't let the fact that many of these movies are available through The Criterion Collection put you off! I'm also quite happy to add a new movie to my fave list this year: Let The Right One In. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it (and I know many of you already have.)
