Tis the Season for Scary Movies.

[BluPix]

Being the month of Halloween, October is naturally a month to see and collect scary movies of all sorts.

I thought it would be interesting to see what chilly, weird, frightening, creepy, edge-of-your-seat, shocking films people have recently added to their BD collections within the last month -- or will soon be adding within the next month or so. They don't have to feature ghosts, zombies or the supernatural, or be considered as part of the horror genre, but they should be memorably strange or creepy in some way.

A few of my newly-acquired (or soon to be acquired) scary flicks on Blu-ray include

The Omen Collection (finally acquiring; nice to upgrade my SD-DVD of the 1976 movie)
King Kong (1933; has moments that still feel unsettling to this day)
The Exorcist (but, of course)
Se7en (a very chilling crime drama)
The Killer Inside Me (2010; another very disturbing crime flick)
Psycho (on preorder; should be a nice upgrade)
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (on preorder)
Videodrome (a blind buy of early Cronenberg on preorder, though not due until December)
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951; to order soon)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978; to order soon)
Jacob's Ladder (to order soon)

28 Days Later (maybe)
28 Weeks Later (another maybe)

A couple months ago, I added the Red Riding trilogy (a series of memorable, unsettling crime dramas). Earlier in the year came: Shutter Island (which is chilling in its own way); Fear(s) of the Dark (on SD-DVD but the 2009 film deserves mention; it's an anthology of dark, animated tales); Poltergeist (how can one forget that classic?); The Man Who Fell to Earth (weird sci-fi that reminds me a little of The Day the Earth Stood Still); and District 9.

I may also buy I Am Legend, but only if the price on the UCE drops. If so, it would be interesting to also buy The Omega Man (which I still haven't seen) and the still-on-SD-DVD The Last Man on Earth, as all three are based on the same classic story.

Also a contender is the 1956 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers on SD-DVD, just to compare the older classic to the 1970s one, which should be interesting. (I'll forget about the latest incarnation of the story, The Invasion, of just a few years ago, for now.)

What are your choices this year?
