Saw

On iTunes at: itunes.apple.com

Saw is one of my favorite scary movies. It is about a man called Jigsaw who realizes how much his life is worth once he is diagnosed with cancer. His life mission is to teach others to cherish their lives; but he does so in the sickest manner possible - putting them in situations where they have to suffer immense pain to live, or they can die. While the Saw series is extremely sick, these movies will keep you on the edge of your seat and make you wonder what you would do if you were placed in some of these situations.

The Orphan

On iTunes at: itunes.apple.com

The Orphan is an extremely creepy movie about a family who decides to adopt an older child after losing a baby. However, the child, Esther, seems to attract bad luck. After a series of unfortunate events, suspicion begins to arise that Esther may not be the sweet child she claims to be. When her new mother calls the orphanage Esther is supposedly from and they don't have a record of her ever being there, the movie takes a surprising twist you won't see coming!

Halloween

On iTunes at: itunes.apple.com

One of the scariest movies I've ever seen is Halloween. Imagine being stalked by someone who escaped from an insane asylum and is out to kill you, for seemingly no reason. This movie keeps me on the edge of my seat no matter how many times I watch it!

The Exorcist

On iTunes at: itunes.apple.com

The first time I saw The Exorcist, I was eight and thoroughly scared. The movie is about a girl who is possessed by a demon. She speaks in tongues, twists her body in ways that are unimaginable, and levitates. While I was scared by this movie, what sealed the deal for me was when I saw the finally commentary that this is based on a true story. Good luck sleeping after this movie!

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

@raqcity, I agree and The Conjuring is really scary

Human centipede isn't scary it's just disgusting

House at the end of the street was terrible. Saw is smart but gory and human centipede is nothing compared to the second one. Not scary just absolutely disgusting.

I've seen all these movies and I don't find them creepy

Where's the conjuring ,insidious ,insidious2,sinister

The grave encounters

I love Horror. I'm not a huge gore fan but I do enjoy The Final Destination Series. One of my fave horror movies is The Haunting in Connecticut. Also, if you don't mind subtitles I loved the movie Julia's Eyes.
