Here are the very scariest movies on your TV tonight:
Rosemary’s Baby – TCM – 9pm

The Silence of the Lambs – TG4 – 9.10pm
The Oscar-winning chiller stars Anthony Hopkins as serial killer Hannibal Lector, who is interviewed by FBI newbie Jodie Foster, to pick his brain and use the information to catch an active serial killer before he strikes again.

Alien: Covenant – RTE Two – 10.45pm

Halloween – FilmFour – 10.45pm
The 1978 original starring Jamie Lee Curtis. Still stands up as one of the best scary movies of all time.
Poltergeist – BBC Two – 11.10pm
The 1982 original, with a family moving into a new home, only to discover that it has been built on a graveyard. Soon their young daughter disappears into the TV, and the ghosts have no intention of letting her go.
The Ring – BBC One – 12.35pm
Naomi Watts is the journalist looking into a group of teens found dead, and how the deaths seem to take place exactly seven days after watching a specific video tape.
Poltergeist – RTE Two – 1am
The 2015 remake has the exact same plot, but with up to date special effects, and Sam Rockwell as the likeable dad.
