It's real rainy here and I've had a long week so I'm thinking about sipping a coffee and watching a scary flick.
Suggestions?

The Hitcher (1986). Not really
scary
, but I'd say it falls under the horror category.
I am on fire, but an extinguisher is not required

I don't think I've seen that one. I'm a horror movie fan but there are a few classics I've yet to see. Thanks I'll see if it's on demand.

Make sure you see the incredible original and not the totally lame remake with Sean Bean.
Never trust a black man named "Chip."

The original is just meh.
The remake is not much worse.
I always tell the truth, even when I lie.

It's not scary, but Alien is in my top 5 all time favorite movies.

I don't think I've seen that one, but I see Deltoros name tied to it and I love just about anything he touches, especially if it's set in Spain.

Check out the J-Horror 'Pulse' (2001). Not sure if you're familiar with the director but he is the master of the J-Horror scene. Really detached atmospheric tone, slow, quiet, moody and very creepy. Here's the trailer:
He is not coming back. He has forgotten me.

A Tale of Two Sisters
Onibaba
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is an absolute masterpiece.
The Babadook
Heard great things about Under The Shadow
I love plenty of horror films that I wouldn't call scary though:
Martyrs
La Horde
Switchblade Romance
Kill List

Oh I meant to watch that one, added it to the watch list a while back. A movie based on the "Who Goes There?" novella. The second adap- ahem First remake of it!
"I'm gonna get medieval on your ass!"

I did not know it was based upon the same source material as The Thing.
When I think about it, there's a couple of similarities but it's really a different movie.

The first movie changed a couple of things too anyway.
That'll be the next movie I watch.
"I'm gonna get medieval on your ass!"

But the novella takes place on a research station on the South Pole, right?
Not on a train in Siberia.

That it does. Just saying that it takes a couple of liberties and changes things that may or may not be core premises of the novella.
Isolated setting in a snowy landscape.
"I'm gonna get medieval on your ass!"
