AIBU to ask for films so scary they nearly make you die from fear?

Or any terrifying TV shows would also be good. Thanks in advance!

28 days later still fucks with my head.

I think it was because I started watching it and had no idea what it was about. It literally terrified me and years later I still get the odd really vivid nightmare of it happening in real life.

I've been known to lie in bed thinking about what we would do if it happens my solution is to hide in the loft.

I’ve watched a lot of horror films but the strangers is definitely the most scary for me. I think it’s the fact it’s a psychological horror and based on a true story

I'm going to watch strangers. Is it on Netflix?

Paranormal activity, the one with the kitchen fan

I seem to be in a time zone three weeks later than everyone else, internet wise, sorry for overlooking any replies while the thread slowly updates

The strangers is pants.

Funny Games the original is better. Really twisted.

The Babadook!

I started watching Sinister one night and actually had to stop it and finish it in the daylight because I was so bloody scared. It seriously freaked me out.

I'm a hardcore horror film fan from the days of video nasties so gore doesn't bother me at all but creepy really scares me

Lights Out - I think about it every time it's dark and I need to put something in the bin round the side of the house in the dark.

Wolf Creek is terrifying.

Following this thread as I love finding new horrors!
It's also sparked a memory of being about 11 & finding a movie called Bless The Child absolutely terrifying. I'm going to have a rewatch & see if it's as I remember!

I remember the original funny games, that’s true horror! Feel like I have a more supernatural itch to scratch today tho?

The Ruins.
The Conjuring (first one).

And thank you so much for all the ideas so far, some films I’d never remember by myself and so many I’ve never even heard of

The Exorcist gave me nightmares for a very long time.
When I saw Blair Witch, it was hilarious and most of the audience were laughing. Good fun but not scary!

Wolf Creek. Don’t watch it. Still terrifies me years later.

My dh and dd are watching Marianne on Netflix, and their both say is very scary!!
Also, Hereditary, I had to watch the end of it behind a cushion 😱

Wolf Creek is terrifying and also really nasty. I didn't realise it was torture porn when I watched it and I wouldn't watch it again. Hereditary, It Follows and Babadook are probably the horrors I've been most creeped out by in recent years.

The Ring
Insidious (first one)
Exorcism of Emily Rose
The Witch

Have you seen The Witch?

Definitely not looking for much torture porn or gore, but THAT scene in the middle school of hereditary, that long wtf, did that just happen - a whole film of those feels would be so perfect!

All of the Paranormal Activity films! 😱

I love Supernatural (14 series, and 15th one not fully aired yet just 2episodes so far)
The Paranormal activity 2 (watched once a few years ago, I cant be brave enough to watch it again)

Nope, haven’t seen The Witch (I don’t think), shall I try that first?

Grave Encounters is pretty good. Very claustrophobic. And a few jump scares, (which I don't really care for.
