Anyone have any free online scary movies for Halloween they can recommend?

I've been a big horror fan since I started watching scary films at the movies when I was three years old in the 1950s and saw Invaders From Mars. Here are two more recent full-length free flicks that I found watchable.

Dubbed from the original French, this is a pretty good zombie apocalypse movie. The female cop is truly bad-ass and the guy who plays the black gangster is a pretty good actor.



This Australian film had some pretty scary moments, with elements that reminded me of Alien and the Descent.



And here's a classic horror film that is one the the scariest made-for-TV movies ever made.

More creepy than scary and more social commentary than thriller. The sets are amazing.

Thirty-something guy returns to his hometown after leaving under mysterious circumstances as a teenager. Being somewhat mentally unstable, he sets himself to the quixotic task of refurbishing his deceased grandmother's abandoned home, which is on the verge of being demolished by the city. Really an amazing example of its genre, I expected to enjoy it but was surprised just how good it was. Track it down any way you can because it's easily one of the best horror movies I've seen in years.
