Top 10 Scariest Halloween Movies

7: The Shining – 1980

Many people would claim that The Shining is the most iconic horror movie ever made and it is very hard to argue against it, though novelist Stephen King preferred the TV version of his original. An absolute production masterclass saw the movie produce a number of memorable scenes and an unforgettable performance from Jack Nicholson. Despite the film containing very few jump scares compared to many other on our list, they still are extremely frightening. As a result, you can see why many argue it is Stanley Kubrick’s best work.
