1 Psycho (1960) buy the movie
Although Director Alfred Hitchcock’s film is over 40 years old, it still manages to give you a scare. This classic is wonderfully crafted.

Based on the book by Thomas Harris, Silence of the Lambs is one of the best spine-tingling thirllers of all time.

One of the scariest movies of all-time!

In 1978, little known director John Carpenter unleased the Halloween series. Halloween is certainly a classic.

This 1950’s classic sci-fi chiller remains a remarkable and brilliant film.
