It
The horror thriller “IT,” directed by Andrés Muschietti, is based on the hugely popular Stephen King novel of the same name, which has been terrifying readers for decades. When children begin to disappear in the town of Derry, Maine, a group of young kids is faced with their biggest fears when they square off against an evil clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.

It Chapter 2
Twenty-seven years after the Losers’ Club defeated Pennywise, IT has returned. Now Adults, the Losers have long since gone their separate ways, but with people disappearing again in Derry, Maine, Mike calls the others back home. Damaged by their past experiences, they must each conquer their deepest fears to destroy Pennywise – who has become deadlier than ever – once and for all.

The Shining
Jack Torrance (Steven Weber) and his family (Rebecca De Mornay and Courtland Mead) move into the sprawling, vacant Overlook Hotel to get away from it all. Away from the alcoholism that derails Jack’s writing career. Away from the violent outbursts that mar Jack’s past. But Jack’s young son Danny knows better. He possesses a psychic gift called the shining – a gift the hotel’s vile spirits desperately want. In the hands of Stephen King, the “dead” Overlook comes horrifyingly alive. Phantoms lurk, the message “redrum” appears with scary frequency, and even garden topiary lurches into macabre existence in this atmospheric shocker scripted by King from his own novel and directed by ace King screen adaptor Mick Garris (Sleepwalkers, The Stand).

Misery
After his car crashes in the mountains during a blinding snowstorm, famous novelist Paul Sheldon is "rescued" from a car crash by Annie Wilkes, a fan obsessed with the main character in his series of novels. But when Wilkes reads his latest book--and learns he has killed her favourite character--she teaches Sheldon the real meaning of Misery.

Doctor Sleep
“Doctor Sleep” is the continuation of Danny Torrance’s story 40 years after the terrifying events of Stephen King’s The Shining. Still irrevocably scarred by the trauma he endured as a child at the Overlook, Dan Torrance has fought to find some semblance of peace. But that peace is shattered when he encounters Abra, a courageous teenager with her own powerful extrasensory gift, known as the “shine.” Instinctively recognizing that Dan shares her power, Abra has sought him out, desperate for his help against the merciless Rose the Hat and her followers, The True Knot, who feed off the shine of innocents in their quest for immortality. Forming an unlikely alliance, Dan and Abra engage in a brutal life-or-death battle with Rose. Abra’s innocence and fearless embrace of her shine compel Dan to call upon his own powers as never before—at once facing his fears and reawakening the ghosts of the past.

The Green Mile
Paul Edgecomb is the Head Prison Guard on Death Row at the Cold Mountain Correction Facility in the 1930s. When a new inmate, John Coffey, is sent to the prison for the brutal murder of two children, the guards notice e something very odd about him. Based on the novel by Stephen King.

Carrie (1976)
Sissy Spacek gives a riveting performance in this acclaimed shocker as a shy teen who exacts a terrifying revenge on classmates who taunt her. Also features Amy Irving and John Travolta.

The Shawshank Redemption
A prominent banker unjustly convicted of murder spends many years in the Shawshank prison. He is befriended by a convict who knows the ropes and helps him to cope with the frightening realities of prison life.
