Cannibals, clowns and Christmas – oh my! Looking for something scary to watch this Halloween? Here are some great lesser-known horror movies. Find some candy corn, grab a blanket and pop in one of these heart-pounding movies – there’s no better way to celebrate this spooky holiday!

1. Vacancy (2007)
The start of a seemingly pleasant stay at a motel turns into a couple’s worst nightmare when they are pursued by murderous hotel owners. The classic stranded-in-a-place-far-from-society setting is very effective in producing a suspenseful atmosphere in this thriller.

2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
Four friends struggle to escape being murdered and eaten by a group of cannibals in rural Texas. I mean, c’mon, what’s scarier than cannibals?

3. Black Christmas (1974)
One by one, a group of college students is murdered by a mysterious caller during a Christmas party. The caller has an especially thin, raspy voice, making the calls all the more eerie. Throughout the movie, he maintains his mysterious profile, never revealing his face. This adds more of an edgy, cliffhanger feel to the story, preventing it from becoming just another run-of-the-mill slasher film.

4. The Clown at Midnight (1998)
Teenager Kate Williams’ mother was killed by a clown in an opera house. As Kate and her friends attempt to restore the same opera house years later, they discover that the murderer may still be there. Put a scary clown in a nearly deserted theatre and there’s bound to be terror.

5. Phenomena (1985)
After being sent to a Swiss boarding school, Jennifer Corvino uses her magical connections with insects to stop the murdering of her classmates. The best part of the movie is the murderer’s identity is concealed until the very end, and it turns out to be quite a surprise...
