Welcome to the first-ever edition of Macabre Mondays!

Born in the same vein as Sci-Friday, fellow writerJeff Kinnard has taken the initiative here to organize and motivate a few folks to write about their favorites within the horror genre, be it books, movies, shows, or games.

Today, I want to talk about my favorite subgenre of horror films, and share three of my all-time favorite creepy films with you. “Creepy” is its own category to me, quite apart from cheap scares or grotesque imagery (nothing wrong with those, mind you! they just have a different place).

“Creepy” gives you that lingering feeling of unease that sticks with you later on, when you’re trying to sleep. It makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

Without further ado, here are 3 of the creepiest horror movies of all time.
