Day 8: A spooky movie from a country outside of the U.S. πŸŒπŸŽ¬πŸ‘»
Since this is Literotica, there are plenty of films with sex and nudity one could name but few are any good, so instead I'll recommend the classic British film Quatermass and the Pit - excellent script, creepy atmosphere, and it successfully mixes several genres to produce a sort of urban folk horror.
 
Day 6: What would your reimagining of a spooky classic movie be?

I'd like to reimagine The Demon Seed and have directed by Coralie Fargeat.

Of course, in the reimagining, the supercomputer would be an AI that would want to experience the world of flesh, emotion and the creation of life. To do that it would need to kidnap, blackmail and coerce both men and women in order to breathe and reproduce.

How would the AI cope with the range of feelings and passions it experiences?

Maybe the only way to stop the AI determining the future of humanity would be having other AIs battling to destroy it and the weaponry it controls.
 
Day 7: A spooky television show or movie you re-watch every year.

Lovecraft Country has been researched a couple of times.
 
Day 8: A spooky movie from a country outside of the U.S.

So many to choose from... For sheer low budget invention and verve I'll go for Tetsuo: The Iron Man

I showed this and Tetsuo II: Body Hammer at a film club. I allowed the videos to be borrowed and never saw them again.

 
Day 8: A spooky movie from a country outside of the U.S.

The Vanishing - 1988 (Dutch).
Not a horror film, but one of the creepiest /scariest endings to a film that I've ever seen. (Avoid the Hollywood remake - it's awful).

Oooo! This is on my watch list. I'm scared to watch it at night though.

This. The build up was good. But then the ending.. finding out the villain. I laughed in the theater. It was soo ridiculous. I would remained the ending and the villain.

(Not really a classic though. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ)
I disagree. This is a classic in the mold of the greatest VHS b-movies!
 
Halloween had more purpose when people spent more time outside, did not have electric lights, believed it is a time of thinner boundaries between worlds, and made their own costumes. Now it's a time to watch B movies, wear dollar store costumes, and binge eat candy. I could watch some movies that show more of that original purpose.

Bring back human sacrifice!
I mean, no, don’t do that . . . 😳

I agree, though. I don’t like the β€œChristmas” style lights for Halloween and I’d like it better if people spent more time on home made costumes, scary stories around a fire and focused more on the customs than the commercial aspect. Also, enough with the inflatable yard stuff everyone! Make a damn Scarecrow by yourselves!!! 😁
 
The Orphanage.

Spooky, touching, sad and awesome. A really great film from Spain.
This is actually the first movie that came to my mind, also, but I love how it's also maybe not horror at all depending on your perspective. Such a good movie. Most people I recommend it to never watch it because there's no english dub and they "don't want to read a movie"
