It's a little late for a "halloweeny" themed post and I'm probably the worst person in the world to be writing this list since I can't watch horror films without screaming, hiding, turning all the lights on repeatedly, crawling up walls and generally making other people laugh at me/ pity me... but I'll give it a shot anyway.
The Orphanage
Creepy, creepy children tormenting adults into madness in the beautiful Spanish countryside? What's not to love? Or freak out about and be terrified of your younger siblings and cousins for a while. Whatever. Still, it was an amazing movie.
Hostel
Of course this one's on the list. I've stubbornly refused to even watch this film due to the fact that I stay in a lot of dodgy hostels and would like to continue doing so without heart palpitations... but I'm told it will make your skin crawl. So if that's your thing: enjoy.
Friday the 13th
It is totally a travel themed movie/series! Don't argue with me! Quick question, though. Why do these people insist on returning to the damn lake? Honestly!
Pan's Labyrinth
Okay so this is more in the historical/fantasy/tripping-you-out genre, but watch the scene with the child eating monster and tell me it's not freaky as heck. Another creepy Spanish film. What is up with the Spanish anyway? Why must you Spaniards make such creepy movies!
Eyes Without a Face
An old as dirt French film for those of you who are into the classics. But, just so you know, the footage of the skin graft is real.
A Tale of Two Sisters
Recommended to me twice, I've persistently avoided watching it as I've seen more than enough clips from it to know that it goes well beyond my personal 'creep threshold'. If you've got a stronger horror tolerance level and want some Korean creepiness in your evening: go for it.
