First: Spoiler Alert

Tough choice. Low budget films like “They Live!” and “Prince of Darkness (with an Alice Cooper cameo) come to mind. But “The Thing” scared the bejesus out of me watching at home alone in high school.

The premise of “Prince of Darkness” is haunting. Several original concepts like (1) the light of a distant supernova just now hitting Earth and awakening long-dormant attributes of living things and (2) warnings from the future sent on tachyon beams that arrive in the form of dreams.

Now I have to watch “Prince of Darkness” again. lol!!

Viewer warning: When I say low budget, do not watch these films expecting high-end scores. If memory serves, the soundtrack for “They Live!” was penned by Carpenter himself.
