20 Best Ghost Movies of All Time
A good horror movie makes us afraid of our ghosts; the great sees ghosts as they are: ghosts of the past. This past can be terrible – filled with darkness from which we can never escape. Ghosts can also be seductive, taking us back into the past from which we had to grow, teasing us with the idea that we can visit long-dead people and abandoned places, if only in the shadows. We love ghost stories, perhaps because we love the idea that there is an afterlife and that the past never fades into the past. But the logic of the story ensures that the gift of that confidence has a price and reminds us to be careful about what we want.
Here are some of the best and most interesting ghost stories.
