CASPER

Rated: PG; 100 minutes in English Directed by: Brad Silberling
Starring: Bill Pullman, Christina Ricci, Cathy Moriarty
Casper is a kind young ghost who peacefully haunts a mansion in Maine.
Hired to exorcise spirits from a dilapidated mansion, a paranormal therapist, Dr. James Harvey (Bill Pullman), moves in with his lonely daughter Kat (Christina Ricci). There, Kat befriends the friendly but lonely ghost of a young boy, Casper (voiced by Malachi Pearson), but must also contend with his three troublesome ghostly uncles. Beyond its heartwarming blend of comedy, ghost story, and romance, the film was a landmark for its groundbreaking CGI, featuring the first fully computer-generated lead character.

Halloween

Rated: R ; 91 minutes in English Directed by: John Carpenter
Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence, Tony Moran
The quintessential horror classic On Halloween night, institutionalized killer Michael Myers escapes to stalk babysitter Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) in a sleepy suburban town. Pursued by his relentless psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence), Michael becomes an unstoppable, silent force of evil. The film's low budget and word-of-mouth success launched the modern slasher genre, influencing countless other horror movies and cementing the "final girl" trope. Its minimalist style, haunting theme music, and the iconic mask ensure its chilling legacy endures.

After Michael is lured into their world, Sam teams up with comic book store owners and vampire hunters Edgar (Corey Feldman) and Alan Frog (Jamison Newlander) to save his brother.

Psycho

Rated: R; 109 minutes in English Directed by: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles
Fleeing after embezzling money, secretary Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) impulsively checks into the isolated Bates Motel, run by the introverted, mother-dominated Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins). When Marion is gruesomely killed in the shower, the narrative shockingly shifts to her sister Lila (Vera Miles) and boyfriend Sam (John Gavin) as they search for the missing woman. Director Alfred Hitchcock subverted audience expectations, solidifying his reputation as the "Master of Suspense" and forever changing the horror genre with his bold storytelling. The film's infamous twist and groundbreaking shower scene have cemented its place as one of the most iconic and influential thrillers in cinematic history

Scary Movie

Rated: R; 88 minutes in English Directed by: Keenen Ivory Wayans
Starring: Anna Faris, Jon Abrahams, Marlon Wayans
A group of dimwitted teenagers, led by the innocent Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris) and her sex-crazed friend Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall), are stalked by a recognizable masked killer. The plot gleefully parodies the biggest teen horror flicks of the late 90s, particularly Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Scary Movie was a surprise box-office smash that capitalized on horror genre clichés and launched the spoof movie craze of the early 2000s.
