Depending on what you want I just type in eg 60s horror Or 80s films and then you get over 500 films you can watch.

I’ll have to have a look and see what I’ve seen, just trying to help by giving some ideas.

@Nostalgic

I rather enjoy a good old dark house movie here are one or two that i recommend.

If you want to pick up a couple of British ones i really like The Night Has Eyes - about a couple of teachers who end up staying at James Mason's creepy old place on the Yorkshire moors.

Then there's The Door With Seven Locks from 1940 starring the menacing Leslie Banks from The Most Dangerous Game in a crusty old mansion replete with tombs, cob webbed corridors, Iron Maidens and murder.

Then there's The Terror. Part crime mystery that quickly becomes a secret crypt and ghostly figures old dark house movie.

All three are available from Network for i would guess under a fiver each.

Have you seen The Spiral Staircase? A masterpiece by Robert Siodmak which beautifully blends Gothic horror and Film Noir.

1934's The Black Cat is an old dark house horror with a difference. The difference being that the house is a gorgeous modern affair, however the film is grim as hell, in fact brutal for the time and boasts great performances from Lugosi and Karloff.

Nostalgic asked for recommendations from members of this forum. He could have found a list himself.

Speak from your own knowledge of movies. I try to.

Ouija House (2018)

An overlong movie even at 95 minutes which wastes a reasonable cast in small roles (Mischa Barton, Dee Wallace, Tara Reid, Chris Mulkey, Tiffany Shepis) but it's central premise is quite interesting.

Given a larger budget with the name actors in the leading roles and some script tightening then this would have had potential. As it is i still preferred it to movies like The Gallows and it's even worse sequel.
