Saw III: Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, Angus MacFadyen, Bahar Soomekh
Jigsaw has disappeared. With his new apprentice Amanda (Shawnee Smith), the puppet-master behind the cruel, intricate games that have terrified a community and baffled police has once again eluded capture and vanished. While city detectives scramble to locate him, Doctor Lynn Denlon (Bahar Soomekh) is unaware that she is about to become the latest pawn on his vicious chessboard. One night, after finishing a shift at her hospital, Lynn is kidnapped and taken to an abandoned warehouse where she meets Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), bedridden and on the verge of death. She is told that she must keep the madman alive for as long as it takes Jeff (Angus Macfayden), another of his victims, to complete a game of his own. Racing against the ticking clock of Jigsaw's own heartbeat, Lynn and Jeff struggle to make it through each of their vicious tests, unaware that he has a much bigger plan for both of them …
This Halloween, you will probably want to do the haunted house thing, maybe pass out candy to kids, or attend some Halloween parties. But my favorite way to celebrate this season of thrills and chills is to watch classic horror movies-preferably the scariest ones I can find.

1. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
2. Psycho (1960)
