1) Silent House Freak out formula: WILL KEEP YOU GUESSING

Theres nothing like a little mystery to add tension to an already nail-biting film. In this things-that-go-bump-in-the-dark movie, the confused Sarah (Elizabeth Olsen), while helping her father and uncle pack up the remains of an old residence, must navigate through an abandoned lake house, all while dealing with possible intruders with malicious intentions. Whats interesting about this movie is that the filmmakers add a claustrophobic feel to the deafening silence and blanketing darkness by having no cuts from start to end, the one-take strategy enhancing the sense of real-time, making every scare worth the wait.

Mom! Dad forgot to pay the electric bill again 2) Bordello of Blood Freak out formula: WHOREHOUSES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

Kids of the '90s are probably familiar with Tales from the Crypt, the HBO horror series hosted by the nose-less, cadaverous Cryptkeeper. Aside from the show, they came up with a series of movies, the sexiest of which being Bordello of Blood. Its campy style of mixing the macabre with sex and comedy told the tale of a secret whorehouse, whose mamasan Lilith (supermodel Angie Everhart, yum!) and resident prostitutes are vampires that feast on unknowing (more like willing) men. The overt exploitation of boobs, blood, and bombshells will surely make you want to sink your teeth into this one.

3) Raising Cain Freak out formula: SKITZOS: NOT FUN

If theres any comedian that can go from ferociously funny to maniacally insane, its John Lithgow. In director Brian De Palmas psychological thriller he plays Dr. Carter Nix, a psychotic murderer with multiple personality disorder. He shifts personas, from a disturbed child to an abusive mother, contorting his twisted face in the process. Lithgows performance is a terrorizing portrait of psychosis thats bound to make you think twice about heading to the doctor.
