A girl receives a satanic relic and begins acting strange like speaking in tongues and levitating. This causes her worried mother to seek help from the catholic church. People reference this film as one of the scariest movies ever, but I find that it doesnt terrify you as much as it makes you uncompfortable Which is good because most horror movies lack that.

A young boy kills his sister on Halloween of 1963, and is sent to a mental hospital. Then, 15 years later he escapes and returns to his hometown in order to wreak havoc. Halloween is considered the godfather of slasher films, it has a suspenseful, creepy,and terrifying tone that keeps you on edge at all times.

The film centers on the Freeling family, a typical middle class family that begin to experience paranormal activity. The poltergeist has a good balance of comic relief and actual horror, of course now that we live in a different decade some of the jokes are unintentional but none the less The poltergeist doesn’t disappoint.
