Here are One of the 28+ Most Scariest and Horror Movies Of All Time
01) The Strangers (2008) :
Sometimes there is just something primal about horror films that are set in those situation where we are most vulnerable, it could be psycho in the shower or jaws in the open water but they make our skin crawls.
The stranger strikes a similar nerve that fear of our homes being invaded when we are all alone of course it helps that the cinamatography here underline just how frightening that situation can be as the Titular stranger lurk in the shadows.
This films is violent sure, but it also scary as hill and isn’t a paid to let moments lingers for the sole purpose of making us look twice into the darkness why are you doing this to us because you were home.
02) Candyman (1992) :
Candy man the Hyan days of the slasher film may have been in the Rear View when candyman hit theaters back in 1992, but that didn’t mean there was no room for a new icon Tony Todd.
Officially ascended to the genre’s mount rush more when his character became one of the horror’s most recognizable agents of pain.
The candymen’s command of bees and his menacing hook are only a couple of reasons why this film works so well there is also the romantic musical score. The gritty urban setting and the disgustingly effective practical effects that makes candyman a horror movies for the ages by my victim.
03) It Follows (2014) :
You can get rid of it okay, just sleep with someone as soon as you can just pass it along the analogy of sexually transmitted diseases is part of the reason it follow felt so fresh back when it was released in 2014, writer, director David Mitchell may not have completely explained the rules for why the entity follows the way, it does or how it can be destroyed yet.
Its more about the journey than the destination. Here it follows plays with our Paranoia as we constantly scan the background for who on the horizon, the performances and the character general likeability get us invested in the story while the soundtrack keeps us on edge. This one is destined to become a modern horror classic see everything is okay.
04) Sinister (2012) :
Before helming doctor strange director Scott Deron’s experience with the supernatural skewed in favor of the spooky stuff and crowning achievement of his horror filmography is without a doubt. Sinister the eater of children, did you say eater of the children.
The story centers on a true crime writer played by Ethan Hawk who moves his family into a home that once played host to a series of Grizzly murders his host is that this mysterious crime can serve as the basis of his next book if an image was destroyed then the gateway would be closed and would no longer have access to this world.
The film is not afraid to embrace haunted house clinches but Deron’s mastery over them is such that even when you can see a scare coming it never fails to hit the mark employing elements of found footage to excellent effects sinister will make you steer.
05) IT (2017) :
Take it the first part of a two part adaptation of Stephen Kings novel updated. This terrifying horror tale for a modern audience kids of the 1980s may always fear Tim Curry’s portrayal of Penny wise, the dancing class but it chapter 1 introduced a new Penywise with an even meaner streak.
Bill Skarsgard’s performance balanced real menance with a preserve sense of humor that helped make it chapter 1 feel fresh and exciting. We also have to shout out. The child actor who really sell the fear, this movie is perfect for lots of late night white knuckle rewatches you’ll float down here.
06) Ju-On :The Grudge (2002) :
The international success of this movie may have helped kick start a bunch of subpar North American remakes but that doesn’t make the OG any less awesome. The supernatural setting of creepy looking ghosts out for revenge is nothing new.
However, the grudge was able to set itself apart from this horror movie trope with its evocative cinematography and memorable character design the young spirits of Toshio and kyoko have since become instantly recognizable cult figures. The Grudge is already considered a modern classic of Japanese horror and an absolute must watch for fans of the genre.
07) The Descent (2005) :
This is one of those horror films where the location itself is so tense and frightening that it barely even needs the disgusting monsters granted the reveal of these sabterranean beasts adds spice to the scary stews but we were already uneasy before they even showed up that’s because the descent so expertly drops us down literally into the cold darkness of spelunking.
The shadow lurk out at us from cavernous walls and we think we see things that aren’t there or are they add to that memorable character and a palpably claustrophobia atmosphere and you have a one of a kind horror movie experience.
08) The Witch (2016) :
For anyone who feels tired of the same old horror movie tropes the witch is a welcome change. It was film debut of writer director robert Edgar. This period piece is a reminder that there are a lot of different ways to scare an audience.
Mother father will find out what let you are, witch set in the 17th century, the witch follows a puritan- family trying to scrape out a living on their new England’s farm when the younger child Samuel suddenly disappear near the woods.
However, the fervently religious family is torn apart by suspicous bad luck and it would seem supernatural influence. The witch the film takes a slow burn approach that instead gets under your skin using atmosphere Paranoia and an unrelenting sense of dread.
09) 20 Days Later (2002) :
One of the film that helped kick off the Zombie wave of the 2000s. 28 Days later still holds up, though many people have had their fill of these brain eating monster. 28 days later stands apart from the pack these zombies are cut from a different cloth.
The film center on a young man who awakens from a coma defined that great Britain has collapsed in the face of a highly contagious viral out break and you do not need to get bitter to contact it.
The infected, in this feel like creative of limitless energy rapid and animalistic in the way they attack. Filmmaker Danny Bole makes good use of confined spaces chaotic camera work and the human capacity for evil to anxiety inducing effect what do a men do expect wait to die themselves.
10) Rosemary’s Baby (1968) :
Rosemary and her husband guy have moved into a new home and are trying to conceive a baby but that is where the resemblance to a typical story ends.
Unfortunate Rosemary soon finds herself the focus of occultists and their Malevolent plans for her child to be the idea of a demonic child growing inside you is blood curdling enough but the sense of helplessness is ramped up when rosemary seeks aid only to have her fear dismissed as Paranoia and delusion because if he say anything more about witches or witchcraft would be forced to take you to a mental hospital.
A memorable performance from Mia Phoh Puts the audience right in her shoes. You will never look at your neighbors the same way again after this film.
11) The Ring (2002) :
What Would you do if your son had seven days until he dies in Horrendous Fashion. What if your son’s fate was inexorably tied to your fate, no these are the question that this remake of the 1998 Japanese film.
Attempt to answer in the most unnerving way possible fueled by amazing sound design and a gripping score every moment of the ring will have you recoiling in Terror, no need for loads of gore here with a lots of disturbing visuals.
The use of psychological horror and a haunting vibe its no wonder, the movie was both critical and commercial smash.
12) The Omen (1996) :
On this night Mr. Thor God has given you a son in the Richard Donner Film. The suspected Anti-christ is not in the womb or a crib but comes in the form of a young and at times innocent looking child prepared to destroy anyone who stands in his way or displease him.
Daman is surrounded by grief misery and death look at me demises it all for you fraught with violent visuals like Decapitation and hanging. The Omen doesn’t pull any punches as it delves into the life of the world’s most evil little boy, Diamond Dam no incredible suspense and excellent performances notably from Gregory Peel make this movie one of the best horror films of all time. He bears a burst mark a suspense of sixes. So says bible to all the apostles of satan.
13) Hereditary (2018) :
In 2018 cinema, goers were introduced to a new master of horror filmmaker Ari “Aster of God’. An unrelentingly bleak and deeply disturbing film Hereditary pushes the boundaries of the genre in ways that quite frankly we didn’t know were possible. It immediately drew comparisons to such highly influential pictures as Rosemary’s baby and the exorcist.
The film doesn’t bother with jump scares it instead shocks with genuinely unexpected and deeply disturbing imagery from which it refuses to turn away the tension and overwhelming sense of dread are so pervasive that some viewers may not last long enough to see the mystery unraveled further bolstered by steller performances all around hereditary isn’t just a scary movie it will shake you to your core.
14) The Babadook (2014) :
Never underestimate the power of practical effects. 2014’s Babadook could have easily gone overboard with CGI instead the filmmaker wisely used stop motion animation and real craftsmanship to bring the titular creature to life.
There aren’t even any fatalities in the babadook but fam doesn’t love this movie for its body count. They love it for storytelling, the characters and the themes of grief that permits its narrative. The Babadook just does practically everything right and makes us care about what’s going to happen from first frames to last.
15) Get Out (2017) :
The trope of the body snatcher was nothing new in the horror genre by the time Jordan peel created get out yet his film managed to inject new life into this narrative through the exploration of class and race .
Get out also subtly incorporate humor throughout the story but make no mistake. The film is full of uneasy frights, the existential horror of the sunken place in particular gives us nightmare Peele’s script is smart taut and tense and the subtle easter eggs hidden throughout the film make it eminently rewatchable.
16) Poltergeist (1982) :
First time you know those early scares that set you up as a horror fan for life. The regal Poltergeist from 1982 is one of the best entry points for young fans seeking to dip their toes into the harder stuff like many of the best horror movies.
It relies on building an ultra creepy atmosphere to terrify you rather than using monster in Gore with practical effects that still hold up Today and universally great performances. Poltergeist is one of those movies that’s both scary and superb fun to watch, a terrible presence is in there with her so much rage so much betrayal.
17) Paranormal Activity (2007) :
This supernatural horror combined everything that made the blair witch project and the amityville horror classic of the genre, the spectre doing the haunting is a demon that feeds off the negative energy and has latches itself outo Katie, it seems to me that that’s what we are dealing with something that’s basically connected to you in paranormal activity.
We get to see the psychological damage that prolonged exposure to pure evil reeks on an ordinary couple the found footage style makes it feels believeable while also incorporating numerous jump scares but its the moment action to scare us to our bones.
18) The Blair Witch Project (1999) :
The woods around Halloween times is a creepy enough Phenomenon. The Blair Witch Project marketing campaign made it the most talked about movie in the US.
The fact that the teasers and trailers wet audience appetites while giving away virtually nothing about the plot made the found footage flicks twist and turns all the more shocking its unknown stars allowed us to emphathize completely which made those surprises even more terrifying to cap it all off the simple yet horrifying closing seconds ensured that this film was one of the scariest of all time.
19) Insidious (2011) :
Written by Lee Wiell and directed by James Juan the same team behind the Saw Franchise. Insidious is in many ways your classic haunted house story.
After moving into a new home the lambert family soon find themselves plagued by supernatural forces. Dalton the eldest son who feel into a coma after going into a Attic seems to be that the center of the activity what make insidious so scary is its relentlessness, what the scary are fast genuine break the filmmaker use mounting dread and discomfort as the movie’s baseline tone.
20) The Thing (1982) :
Just 4 years after Halloween, John Carpenter made another classic though no one knew it at the time what the hell is in there but its weird and pissed off whatever it is the thing was poorly received upon its release and barely broken even over the years.
However its been subject to one of the most drastic critical re-evaluation in the history of horror the practical effects used to bring the titular monster to life stand up to this day and still represent some of the most grotesque but inspired creature design to ever grace the screen the gross bodily manipulation was simply to much for viewers back in the 1980s, but this uniquely terrifying vision would go on to influence a generation of horror filmmaker.
21) The Silence of The Lambs (1991) :
This movie is one of only a handful of horror films to ever make a serious impact at the academy awards, its handling of themes such as gender identity have made it the subject of much retrospective criticism but its not buffalo bills motivations that make this film so terrifying a census taker once tried to test me.
The silence of the lambs is a story about the abduction and murder of female victim crimes that feel all too real and terrifying. Jody Foster’s performance as FBI trainee clarice Darling was career defining and who can ever forget. The way Anthony Hopkins inhabited the role of Dr. Hannibal Lecter.
He manages to make the former psychologist and cannibal charming magnetic manipulative and ultimately one of the scariest characters in cinema.
22) The Conjuring (2013) :
Most will agree that filmmaker James Juan’s greatest contribution to horror is the conjuring. The film center on Paranormal investigator Edi and Lorrain Warren who are hired by the Parm family when they begin experiencing strange and unexplainable events in their Rhode Island.
Home set in the 1970s and inspired by the supposedly truly story of the amityville horror the film feels like a throwback to classic haunted films of decades past.
The scares are solid from start to finish but its the performances of this impressive ensemble cast that makes the film so effective and you really care about these characters and that makes every supernatural threat much more visceral she won’t let her leave the house.
23) The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) :
The slasher flick revels in the violence and gore that it throws at its audience when a group of friends decide to pick up a hitch hiker on their way to a family homestead they have no way knowing just how horrible their world is about to become.
Here is the short version awaiting them with open arms and empty stomach mar their destination is a family of Cannibals who use the bones of their victims to furnish their homes among the most wanly violent films ever made to this day. If this massacre doesn’t chill you to your very core we don’t know what will.
24) The Exorcist (1973) :
The Exorcist introduces us to Reagan a friendly 12 years old girl who become possessed by a Demon after playing Ouija Board. A terrific and refreshing firing concept for a horror film was taken to the next level by William Peter Bat’s exceptional screenplay and the amazing direction of William Fredkin unflinching and truly scary.
This is what will always imagine an actual possession would actually looks like it forces us to picture how helpless we would feel it ever this happened to a loved one add to that horrifying moment like when Pazuzu tells father Damen carries about his mother’s fate in Hell this is as scary as gets and undoubtedly a horror classic with the father and the holy spirit. Daven Amen which is horror film frightened you the most.
25) The Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) :
We all have to sleep and try as we might. We are incapable of staying awake forever please god. This is god that’s why the idea that a horribly disfigured man coul literally kill you in your dreams is such a creepy prospect after he was burned alive by parents whose children he killed.
Freddy Krveger manage to save off the hell while later chapter in the franchise devolve into over the top humor. The first film from director Wes Craven is played so seriously that we suggest you do not watch it before bed.
26) Halloween (1978) :
Michael John Carpenter’s seminal slasher flick may not have invented the genre but it provided a framework that would be replicated for decades to come and yet the 1978 film’s ability to pack a punch has not been diluted in the slightest by the countless situation that followed including its own many subpar Sequels in making.
This film Carpenter really found the perfect recipe. Michael Myer armed with his now iconic mask and imposing physique makes quite.
The impression his commitment to silence adds an extra layer of Tension while Jam Lee Curtis’s breakout performance makes us feel extremely invested her fear becomes our fear musical cues make her break a horror film and the score for Halloween consistently intensifies scares.
27) Psycho (1960) :
Psycho may start off slowly enough the conclusion that it build to is incredibly effective its ability to scare has been undermined by its own success most people already know the story but show it to someone with no knowledge of the plot and their reaction will be genuine terror and the initial lack of horror makes the sudden violence and twisted reveals all the more powerful, no one will argue against the fact that psycho is one of the greatest horror films ever made but it also remain one of the scariest.
28) The Shining (1980) :
One horror film that beats out the thing in terms of critical reassessment its this one directed by Tanley Cubric. The shinning is undeniably unconventional comes and play with us Dandy its a lonely ambiguous and thoroughly unsettling experience that while arguably a tale of the supernatural is fundamentally about one man’s descent fundamentally about one man’s descent into madness nightmare.
The source material written by Stephen King But a study published in 2004 conducted by King’s college London actually labelled it quote the perfect scary movie. The shinning never fails to terrify but the answer as to what exactly makes it so scary remain elusive from set design to the imagery used. The Shinning is artful in its approach to inducing fear.
29) Alien (1979) :
Despite the science fiction elements of the story there can be little debate that alien is in fact also a horror film being stuck inside a Claustrophobia environment you can’t escape with a mindless creature that only wants to kill you is a creepy idea to be sure hack even just sitting down to enjoy a meal.
Together in this movie becomes a complete nightmare that chest burster scene is forever burned into all our memories Ridly Scott’s space adventure doesn’t only grab you by the neck but also never lets you go again it inspired worthy fellowship with alien as well as a slew of lesser sequels and prequels but the original remains the creepiest and most shocking.
