One of the interesting things about Halloween being right around the corner is how many horror properties will be in circulation. It won't just be takes on vampire stories, such as The Invitation, or the recent Netflix joint, Day Shift, but scary offerings like the haunted house essence of Barbarian. As expected, fans will also be digging into the archives, with the zombie genre sure to be as popular.

Many will tout 2016's Train to Busan as the gold standard. That's because not only is it an aggressive spin on the undead, but it also worked in a unique concept of them attacking humans on a train in South Korea. However, while Train to Busan is a remarkable, high-octane frightening experience, it still lags behind 1972's Horror Express.

Now, Train to Busan raised the bar in big ways, upgrading what Snowpiercer tried to do in 2013 when it had a civil war break out as a giant locomotive sped around a frozen Earth. Train to Busan, though, painted a deeper picture of survival amid chaos, mixing action with drama as families fought monsters to return to their loved ones. In fact, it's a formula even the action-comedy Bullet Train tried to subvert as assassins feuded on a train in Japan.

But Horror Express is the grandfather of all these movies and features a powerful enemy. It blended substance and style to work in science fiction, horror, drama, romance and mystery. And at the heart of it were horror icons Christoper Lee as Professor Saxton and Peter Cushing as Dr. Wells, taking them away from their Dracula and Frankenstein work years before.

In this case, they had to fight a sinister threat on a train heading from Shanghai to Moscow after a dig. Shockingly, the prehistoric humanoid on board that thawed and escaped wasn't some super-powered caveman -- it was operated by an alien that lived on the planet for centuries. This being quickly embarked on a murder spree, possessing humans and using them to kill. It created a macabre guessing game filled with cynicism and distrust. But what was interesting was how twists kept popping up, with folks even wondering at some point if it was Satan. It turns out that the being was mining folks' minds to gather intelligence to build a spaceship to escape Earth. It even raised an army of zombies at one point, weaponizing its victims to go after the heroes.

That is why a monk onboard, Pujardov, gave himself up as a vessel in another curveball, reminding fans how humanity could be evil. All these elements crafted something dynamic and unpredictable, and while it wasn't as gory, intense or action-packed as Train to Busan, it still worked to create a suffocating feel on the train. This claustrophobic atmosphere and haunting mood gave Horror Express a lot more tension, had fans constantly thinking and truly tested its heroes in a battle that required a lot more brains than brawn. Ultimately, it's way more layered than Train to Busan, reinforcing how mobile terror should be done.

Horror lovers with a Netflix need to know that a handful of scary movies are about to get slashed from the service, but look at it as your perfect opportunity to catch them before they leave, because there are some serious good options here, and we've picked out four below.

Train to Busan is a zombie horror movie from the mind of Korean director Yeon Sang-ho that has received exceptional ratings. When a father (Gong Yoo) and his daughter board the train from Seoul to Busan, the apocalypse begins at the same time of their departure. The zombie outbreak reaches the carriages of the train and the safety of the passengers is on the line, so now they must fight for their lives and each other as the human population becomes increasingly threatened. It's scary, it's tense, it's emotionally affecting, it's great.

Set in Barrow, Alaska, the residents of this remote town experience a month of darkness that occurs each year. While most of its population move south during this time, some decide to stay including Sheriff Eben (Josh Hartnett) and his wife Stella (Melissa George). Not all is as it seems as the month-long twilight hits, and the town is suddenly inundated with hungry vampires looking to feed. Now, the remaining townspeople must go into hiding and find a way to survive the month until the dawn breaks.

Train to Busan is the story of a workoholic father who spends more time wheeling and dealing at work than he does paying attention to his young daughter. He even went so far as to miss a concert she was singing in because he was too involved with his job.

While on the train the passengers had no clue what was going on in the world around them. The father was more concerned about his work than anything else. The passengers were also blissfully unaware that a young woman, infected with some kind of virus, had boarded the train.

Will any one survive? Is there any safe haven left in the world? Or are they doomed to die while riding the train to Busan? To find out you need to pick up (or download) a copy of Train to Busan, available today where ever movies are sold.

The acting was perfect and the zombies were truly terrifying. They are fast zombies too. I find fast zombies much more scary than slow moving ones. If you have seen the film World War Z you know about fast zombies.

Kimberly Vetrano resides in the suburbs of New York City with her family and "mini zoo" consisting of five cats, a dog and a Goldfish. Kimberly is a teacher's assistant for a Kindergarten class. When she is not working or blogging, Kimberly enjoys taking photos of nature and hanging out with family and friends.

The answer, the train operator would suggest, is the former -- at least, that was the premise of a recent promotional campaign it staged for young people that saw them take 20-minute journeys while encountering disturbingly realistic zombies portrayed by actors at stops along the way.

Encouraging young people to use public transportation was the objective of PT Lintas Raya Terpadu Jakarta and event organizer Pandora Box when launching the attraction, inspired by a popular South Korean horror movie, in August. It took place in station areas and inside the train cars.

"This attraction has played a very significant role in increasing the number of LRT passengers...and we hope it can be a campaign to raise awareness of our service to attract more passengers in the future,"

Participants paid 60,000 rupiah (about $4), including the train fee of 5,000 rupiah, to join the fun. Called "survivors," the passengers were evacuated to another station that was declared to be the safe zone. Actors wearing military uniforms and carrying toy rifles fought off the zombies while protecting the passengers and escorting them to safety.

Inside a train car with fake blood splattered on the walls, a television anchor announced that "the Pandora virus," originating in South Korea, had entered Indonesia, turning people into zombies within "3 minutes" of infection.

"I wasn't expecting it to be this scary. I felt I would die running up and down, trying to escape from the zombies," thrill seeker Mugi Harto, 15, said during one event. In the confusion, his friend, Desti Natalia, lost a shoe while trying to escape.

Jakarta and its suburbs have a population of almost 33 million people, and traffic congestion and pollution are some of the capital's biggest headaches. LRT began commercial operations along a 5.8-kilometer stretch in December 2019 in one of the efforts to improve the situation.

Ending his journey on the zombie train, Mugi still looked shaken up as he repeatedly glanced warily at the train's windows and doors. A first-time LRT rider, he was pleased with the comforts of traveling by train.
