13 movies that creep me out & 13 more that weird me out

It’s that time of year again. The annual survey asking, “What’s your favorite spooky movie?” I like posing this question, because you guys always come up with a title or two I haven’t seen yet. So help me find something to watch Halloween night when me and my cat will be sitting in a darkened apartment pretending not to be home to marauding neighborhood urchins.

Here’s a list of some personal favorites. Some of these creep me and weird me out both, so I haven’t tried to divide them up into two neat groups. It’s no thrill to get grossed out, so zombies or torture dungeons don’t usually interest me much. Arthouse horror is what I like.

• Audition
• The Chaser
• The Descent
• Don’t Look Now
• Eraserhead
• The Exorcist
• Ichi the Killer
• Ils
• Jacob’s Ladder
• Ju-on
• Nang Nak
• The Orphanage
• The Others
