Michael Myers is evil personified in John Carpenter’s low-budget slasher film that we would argue is one the creepiest and scariest films ever made. And though it’s been remade and then remade again, nothing really beats the original. (1978)

Even if you’ve never seen The Shining, you can probably quote it. It’s that iconic. And how could it not be when it’s directed by Kubrick and stars Jack Nicholson? This psychological thriller takes place in an empty, isolated hotel where the caretaker is driven mad by a sinister presence.
