Trilogy of Terror is a stone cold classic. The whole thing is terrific but of course it's the "Amelia" segment that's essentially one of the greatest horror films of all time, all on its own. And that shit was made for TV!

The official title of Thirteen Ghosts (2001) is apparently Thir13en Ghosts, but that reads as "Thirthirteenen Ghosts" and that is so ridiculous that I will not use it. I WILL NOT.

The end of the "You wanna see something really scary?" framing narrative in Twilight ZOne...you know, where Dan Ackroyd (of all people) turns into a ghoul used to scare the crap outta me.
