We're Not Messing Around—These are the Best Scary Movies Ever

God Told Me To

Larry Cohen was the director of this 1976 mythological whirlwind. It involves an ordinary NYPD officer who begins investigating a series of murders that seem to all have one link: a calling from God to kill. The craziest thing about all of this is that there was a serial killer on the loose at the same time who had a similar story. We're talking about David Berkowitz (the Son of Sam), for your information. 

Blood and Black Lace

Who said horror couldn't be fashionable? Mario Brava directed Blood and Black Lace in 1964. When a murderer starts going after the beautiful models of a high-fashion commune, the killer (and the director) relishes the time he spends tearing beautiful things to shreds. This example of Giallo filmmaking will leave you speechless.
