Six (6) must-watch ghost movies for a scary evening

Hello everyone!

There are only four days left till Halloween! After six (6) books that will get you in the mood for Halloween, today I will share six (6) must-watch ghost movies for a scary evening!

I watch all kinds of Halloween-related movies, from the spooky and scary to the comedic and family-oriented. I love Halloween and am also a horror fan; however, gory, slasher movies are not my favourite. Two of my favourite genres are psychological horror and supernatural horror, especially ghost movies!

There are so many must-watch ghost movies. Today I am happy to share six (6) of my personal favourites with you. With rural internet options, they’re easy to stream online.

So without further ado, let's begin:

The Orphanage (2007)

The Orphanage (Spanish: El Orfanato) is a 2007 Spanish gothic supernatural horror film.

 

A woman returns with her family to the closed orphanage, where she grew up, with the intent of reopening it. Before long, her son starts to communicate with a new invisible friend.

Fragile (2005)

Fragile (Spanish: Frágiles) is a 2005 Spanish-British horror film.

Haunted by memories of a patient’s death, a nurse takes a job at an antiquated hospital for children. Soon she learns that the kids fear a ghost that prowls the floors and will not allow anyone to leave. Amy tries to protect them and convince the other staffers of the evil that lurks there.

Saint Ange (2004)

Saint Ange, also known as House of Voices, is a 2004 French-Romanian horror film. 

In 1958, in the French Alp, Anna, a young servant, arrives at Saint Ange Orphanage. She meets the last orphan, Judith, left behind because of her mental problems. Anna finds that Judith also hears voices and footsteps of children.

The Others (2001)

The Others (Spanish: Los Otros) is a 2001 English-language Spanish gothic supernatural psychological horror film.

Grace is a religious woman who lives in an old house kept dark because her two children have a rare sensitivity to light. When the family begins to suspect the house is haunted, Grace fights to protect her children at any cost in the face of strange events and disturbing visions.

Stir of Echoes (1999)

Stir of Echoes is a 1999 American supernatural horror film.

After being hypnotized by his sister-in-law, Tom Witzky begins seeing haunting visions of a girl’s ghost who he later learns is, a 17-year-old that disappeared from the neighbourhood six months prior.

The Innocents (1961)

The Innocents is a 1961 psychological horror film based on the 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw by the American novelist Henry James. 

A young governess of two children becomes convinced that the house and grounds are haunted.

In my previous blog post: Six (6) books that will get you in the mood for Halloween, I included The Turn of the Screw. In fact, I read the book right after I watched this movie!

If you are not into scary movies, you should check out the classic TV shows The Addams Family and The Munsters. You can read more about these two classics in this post: The Addams vs The Munsters.
