Ghost Movies with Christine Rains



 
I'm really excited to host the mega-talented Christine Rains here today as part of her blog tour for The 13th Floor Complete Collection. Christine is here to talk about one of my favorite topics - ghosts and ghost movies. 

Christine wrote her own ghost story as part of The 13th Floor series, and it's a great read like all the rest in the collection. So I was interested to hear about some of her own favorite ghost tales. Welcome and thanks for being here, Christine!


Top Ten Ghost Movies

A scratching in your wall, a whispering near your ear, or a screeching rotted corpse with hair that can kill you. Tis the season for a haunting. Or at least a good scary movie.

Ghosts feature in a lot of my favorite horror movies. Not all ghost films need to be frightening, but when I watch these flicks, I like the chills that come with them.

Warning: this list does NOT contain the film Ghost.

Here are my top ten ghost movies:
  1. The Shining. Classic Stephen King.
  2. Frighteners. This is the ghost movie I've seen the most. It rocks!
  3. The Changeling. Absolutely chilling.
  4. Poltergeist. Go to the light, Carol Anne!
  5. Ghostbusters. It never gets old. I once wanted a career as a ghostbuster.
  6. 1408. Another Stephen King story. Plus it stars John Cusack!
  7. The Ring. The creepiest girl in the world.
  8. The Amityville Horror. The first horror film I watched. It gave my brother nightmares for weeks.
  9. The Sixth Sense. Creepy with a twist.
  10. The Haunting. Nothing like the classics.

When I wrote THE GHOST, I didn't want Chiharo to be scary. She's the friendly ghost, but the story still contains the most terrifying creature in the series, and it does more than just go bump in the night. It not only wants your life, but it eats your soul too.

For another great ghost story, check out Julie Flanders' new book, THE GHOSTS OF AQUINNAH in December. It has those wonderful chills that I so adore.

What's your favorite ghost film?
