Thursday Once upon a time, horror movies regularly ran in your local multiplex. But lately, newer high-quality horror flicks can be found on our televisions. It's a blessing and a curse, there's not that much room for independently produced films to scare crowds en masse at their local theaters, but we know there's always something to find on streaming sites and VOD rental platforms. 过去，恐怖片一般只在当地影院定期上映。而如今，我们用电视就能看到新上映、高品质的恐怖片。这既是福也是祸，在当地影院再也看不到那么多观众被独立制作的恐怖片吓得尖叫的场面了，但我们知道从视频网站和网上视频收费平台总能找到我们想看的恐怖片。 But set your Chinese ghost festival night with movies that will make you fright. Prepare your fresh hot popcorn and soda, and let’s see if you can still eat them fine... 但是，在鬼节之夜观看这些电影肯定会使你毛骨悚然。准备好你的新鲜热爆米花和汽水吧,让我们看看你是否在看这些电影时还有好胃口…… The Woman A normal life, in a normal setting, involving a normal family. No, this is not an exorcism movie, but the father of the family has brought a certain woman home. He bounds the woman in the basement and plans to do something not so nice. 《女人》 电影给我们描绘的是一个普通的家庭中的再平凡不过的生活。这并不是驱魔电影，但一切的起源都是父亲带回一个女人回家。他把女人关在地下室,并计划去做些不太好的事…… Chromeskull 2: Laid to Rest This is more on the suspense genre as the movie is all about a killer wearing a chrome skull to hide his identity and identify himself as the new face of death. He has his own set of equipments to kill, taking pleasure to anyone he targets. 《安息2》 这是悬念类型的电影，一个穿着铬头骨隐藏自己身份并将自己定位为死神的杀手。他有自己己的一套设备,快乐的猎杀他的每一个目标…… Dream House Homes have their memories, good and bad ones. However, this particular home in the movie is a place where murders have been done. Unknown to the Atenton family, who moves into the house, that they will become the murderer’s next target. 《梦宅》 无论好坏，每一个家庭都拥有只属于它们自己的记忆。但是,电影中的这个家则是谋杀之地。不明真相的Atenton一家人搬进了这所房子,而他们将成为凶手的下一个目标…… Texas Killing Fields Just outside the state of Texas is a place known as the Killing Fields, where actual killings take place. Two detectives have been looking for answers. 《德州杀场》 德克萨斯州郊外有一处的杀场，在那里经常上演惨绝人寰的杀人案件。两名侦探在一直苦苦寻找真相…… The Thing Set in Antarctica where there is virtually nothing but snow and icebergs, scientists have unearthed an unidentified organism trapped in a block of ice.

It is a story about a deranged surgeon with the ambition of creating a human centipede by stitching and binding the spinal column of twelve individuals, creating a human centipede in the process. 《人体蜈蚣》 这不只是关于外星生物的电影,而且情节十分离奇。电影讲述一名疯狂的外科医生束缚12个人的脊柱创造一个人体蜈蚣的过程…… Paranormal Activity 3 Who would ever mistake this movie? With an original concept of taking documentaries with cameras, and filming “actual” videos where demonic existence and unspeakable horror is seen, Paranormal Activity has been a hit to many countries. 《灵动：鬼影实录3》 还有人会误解这部电影吗?电影以纪录片的手法,“真实的”拍摄无法形容的恐怖。《灵动：鬼影实录》系列在多个国家都是争议电影…… 11.11.11 The number 11 has so much mysteries and wonders. It can be looked to as a sign of good fortune, others look at it as a bad omen, a warning of terrible events to take place. In the movie, November 11, 2011 may be the day where an unfortunate and horrible event will occur. 11，11，11 数字11一直有很多奥秘和神奇的地方。人们有时候认为它能带来好运，有时候它带来的则只是不幸事件发生的一种凶兆。在这部电影中,2011年11月11日就是这类恐怖事件即将发生的一种预兆…… Piranha 3D You have been afraid of the beach when you were younger because of the images retained in your mind with sharks feeding on human flesh. Over the years, the fear has been dispelled with sharks only attracted with blood. But if piranhas would be out of the beach, just imagine blood all over the water, on the boats, and maybe even close on the shore. 《食人鱼3D》 那些鲨鱼大快朵颐人肉的瞬间或许使年轻的你对海滩感到畏惧。多年来，只有血才能把鲨鱼引来的知识把你的恐惧驱散。但是如果食人鱼来到海滩，想象一下在水中，船舶上，甚至岸边血肉模糊的情境吧……
The Hallow Not to be confused with The Hollow, Hallow, or (God forbid) The Gallows, this low-key but eminently creepy offering from the UK focuses on a family deep in the woods who must contend with something... unnatural. It's a pretty straightforward campfire tale, so the less I divulge the better. Fine. You win. There are demons in that freaky forest. Hungry ones, too. 《圣魇》 不要把这部片子和电影《断头谷》、《驱魔少年》还有《绞刑架》混淆了。这部低调但极度惊悚的英国电影讲述的是一家人深入丛林，与一些非同寻常的事物做斗争。这个营火故事的线索十分明朗，所以我最好不要剧透太多。好好好，我还是告诉你们吧。在诡异的丛林深处，等待他们的，不仅有恶魔，还有食人族……
All in all, people should be very careful during the Chinese ghost festival; they have to keep away from ghosts and not offend them. 总而言之呢，在中国过鬼节还是当心为妙。离鬼魂远一点，千万别冒犯它们。 排名先后仅仅代表编辑个人观点。 本文内容部分来源可可英语、百度。 点击公众号菜单栏“每月读原著”立即加入有书英语共读 ★ 编辑：刘亚南，英语共读负责人，85后 ★ 设计：刘莹，内心永远18岁的小狮子，良珠度寸，虽有白仞之水，不能掩其莹 —共读书籍简介— 《了不起的盖茨比》是美国作家弗·司各特·菲茨杰拉德1925年所写的一部以20世纪20年代的纽约市及长岛为背景的中篇小说，小说的背景被设定在现代化的美国社会中上阶层的白人圈内，通过卡拉韦的叙述展开。 《了不起的盖茨比》问世，奠定了弗·司各特·菲茨杰拉德在现代美国文学史上的地位，成了20年代"爵士时代"的发言人和"迷惘的一代"的代表作家之一。20世纪末，美国学术界权威在百年英语文学长河中选出一百部最优秀的小说，《了不起的盖茨比》高居第二位，傲然跻身当代经典行列。 如何花3杯咖啡的价格一年轻松读完12本英文原著 |
