Nightmarish horror movies list (watch at least one of them on Halloween night)

The list was made up according to the recommendations of BuzzFeed Community members. They suggested the following movies as genuinely scary. Brief comments on the plots and trailers are included.

The Amityville Horror

Here’s one of the Halloween horror movies based on the experience of a family. The key part of this film is the house where a mass murder was committed. A year later, a young couple with kids moves in. They start noticing supernatural activity immediately. What has happened to them and how the house “treated” its new owners? How does the story end, and does it end?

It is an old movie released in 1979, but it still can give you the shivers. It would be excellent for people who prefer supernatural activity.

Us

A modern film (2019) that is focused on the life of a woman named Adelaide Thomas. The movie begins with a story that has changed Adelaide’s life. When she was young, she went on a vacation with her parents. One event has changed her life, and the memories haunt her even after many years.

Brightburn

It tells a story about a boy who was found in a crashed spaceship. A couple adopts the child and hides the spaceship in the barn to hide the truth. Years later, the spacecraft starts transmitting messages. They draw the boy (named Brandon) to the barn. He tries to open the cellar, but Tori (his mother) intervenes. Brandon starts demonstrating his superpower. It is a modern movie (2019), which has mixed reviews, but it still can impress viewers.

Sleepy Hollow

Here is one of the Halloween horror movies that feature the Headless Horseman. It tells a story of a police constable named Ichabod Crane, who investigates a series of decapitations. Being skeptical, he doesn’t believe in beasts, like the Headless Horseman. Soon, he got the chance to witness the cruelty of the beast.

It’s a great film (released in 1999) for people who prefer the combination of gothic and horror.

A Quiet Place

In 2020, living beings were annihilated by invisible extraterrestrial creatures. A family struggles to survive and raise their children in a post-apocalyptic world. The family (Lee and Evelyn) scavenge for supplies. They use sign language and walk barefoot to avoid making any noise that can attract the invisible creatures. Unfortunately, one day they weren’t too careful.

It is a modern (2018) film that would be excellent for people who prefer post-apocalyptic fiction.
