Best American Ghost Movies of the 2000's
_________________________________________________________________________
TOO SCARY 2 WATCH now presents a list (arranged by year) of some of the best and creepiest American ghost movies, that we believe may be worth checking out, if you're a lover of supernatural thrillers and have an appetite for things that go bump in the night!
Non-American ghost movies (including Asian ghost movies) have been excluded from this list.
The list will continue to be updated and expanded upon as we continue to find more movies that we believe are worthy of adding.
Since there are a lot of great American ghost movies on the market spanning decades, we've decided to create this list with the emphasis on modern, contemporary ghost movies, starting with the late 90's and continuing on to the present day.
It can be argued whether some of the movies on the list are ghost movies (depending on how one defines a Ghost movies) ... nevertheless (with versatility in mind), we've provided some movies that contain ghosts, some that contain ghost-like spirits, some that contain haunted houses, some that are psychological thrillers that feel like ghost movies, along with others that may be open for interpretation.
________________________________________________________________________
Disclaimer
Some of the movies on the list, in our opinion, aren't necessarily good movies, but were chosen to be included for a variety of different reasons. -- Some may be famous 2000's Ghost films, some may have cult followings, while others may be sequels or remakes of other classic horror films (and there also may be a few campy/B-movie ones in the mix that just plain out stink)!
Thanks and enjoy!
