So ... musing about spooky movies

melcharI have a lot of horror genre movies that I enjoy - like 'Evil Dead 2', 'Army of Darkness', 'Shaun of the Dead', 'Lifeforce', 'The Thing', 'Reanimator' and so forth ... but I was thinking about movies that are spooky.
The only movie that outright scared me [as a kid] was ‘The Blob’, with a mild fright from the original ‘Night of the Living Dead’. Any other monster or scary movie nemesis had some sort of angle that I could identify with, even sympathize with. Those two? Nothing.
For when I was older? ‘Alien’ made me jump and it was a wonderful atmospheric film. ’28 Day Later’ did a good job of coming up with reasonably topical [viral] zombies and the beginning was wonderfully spooky.
PS = and happy birthday to me ^_^
