• "The Shining" - Jack Nicholson made "The Shining" one of the top 10 best paranormal videos on record. Stanley Kubrick's 1980 tale of a crazed caretaker wandering the halls of Overlook Hotel weilding an ax is particularly unsettling.

This movie left in its wake a television series, a procession of sequels and a remake. Be prepared to lose some sleep over this one, even just looking at Freddy's face.


• "The Sixth Sense" - In 1999, "The Sixth Sense" hit the screen with a bang. This movie is genuine and unpredictable, with a surprising finale. The photography is superb and the acting is outstanding. Despite the greatness of the acting and the story, there are some scenes that are hard to take.
