The EXORCIST

The demonic possession film has become a sub-genre of its own and the OG entry in the category is 1973’s The Exorcist.

Nightmare

On Elm Street

A monstrous murderer who comes for you in your dreams and kills you in your sleep? It’s a real nightmare and, appropriately, the premise for the ‘80s classic.

The Shining

All work and no play makes people go literally insane and attempt to murder their families—at least, that’s the lesson in 1980’s The Shining. The Kubrick adaptation of Stephen King’s book is a psychological mind trip—in the best and scariest of ways, of course.

The Conjuring

This modern classic about a family who moves into an isolated farmhouse is scary enough to have spawned a whole bunch of spin-offs (you can thank this film for the Annabelle series, for example) that will probably outlive us all.
