7. The Ring

8. The Mummy

I felt like I wasn’t safe awake or asleep. Wooo it was awful. Somehow I got over it though.” — jenn_nic

That night when I went to get my cat had snuck into my room with me and i didn’t know it. I seen its tail go around the side of my bed, freaked out and thought it was a demon, and cried until my mom got up to check on me. I was like 10.” — Blankspace97

“I didn’t realize that I had a ‘home invasion‘ fear until I watched that movie… not to mention, we had a big picture window in our living room at the time. I REFUSED to have the curtains open when it got dark.
Fuck that. Fuck that straight to hell.” — underdog_rules
18. Blair Witch Project
“Like a lot of ghost stories, this one’s easy to laugh off when you’re in a brightly lit place, surrounded by friends and lights and comfort.
But like all the best ghost stories, this one feels a lot different when you’re out in the woods. Especially at night, when everything is quiet and still, doubt begins to soak in to your certainty about how real or fake it was, and fear begins gnawing away your confidence.” — EyeballHeadedDandy

22. The Conjuring

23. Silence Of The Lambs
“The first time I saw Silence of the Lambs. Ever since I have always thought you just never, ever know what is hidden in some houses. That pit in Buffalo Bill’s basement freaked me out completely.” — Starksista
24. Gone Girl
“One of my favorite movies but fuck me that shit was disturbing.” — Shout_
25. Coraline
“Honestly, I’ve found that it gets scary in a different way as you get older. It’s more terrifying now psychologically, especially in the book where Coraline’s friend (I forget his name) doesn’t exist and she’s just totally on her own. That sense of powerlessness against the all-powerful, sociopathic other mother and the thought of having your loved ones stolen from you horrifies me more than just her creepy ass hands horrified me as a kid.” — rrsn
