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!

Babadook... especially terrifying if you’ve got kids

The Conjuring 1 and 2.

I think 2 spooked me out more because it's based in London - not far from where I lived at the time.

Definitely the movie Hush! It’s on Netflix.

I wasnt scared by any of these....... Except Sinister. Creepy film.

The Haunting (c. 1960). No blood and guts, just genuinely terrifying.
Suspiria. Another old film which is really, really, really frightening.

Any film directed by Dario Argento eg Tenebrae

The Orphan was scary as well..

It so old now and I expect everyone knows the story but I loved The Others.

The Others is so sad and lovely

Wolf Creek - My God, how on earth did someone normal think of that storyline.

Eden Lake - That film made me so angry, simply because its too close to reality - it could easily happen this weekend.

Salems Lot - Literally shit myself first time round. wont watch it again

The exorcism of Emily Rose

YY Trewser. I also sob and the part where the little girl opens the curtains and says “Mummy look it doesn’t hurt anymore”.
I’m nearly crying now writing it down.

30 Days of Night scared me, as did the Paranormal Activity films. I find that a lot of modern horrors lose something, suspense maybe...about half way through. Another vote for Haunting of Hill House on Netflix as well.

I also agree with Eden Lane and the conjuring 1 and 2. I’d say 2 just edges it.

Pet sematary

spider its the part with the husband that got me

Haunting of hill house was boring and overrated.

Wolf Creek is goos

Insidious really got me.

@contented soul Wolf Creek is based on a true story...he still hasn't been caught!

Also a tv show called The Terror. It's weird to say that I enjoyed such a bleak show but I really did. Fantastic acting and a real feeling of dread throughout it. I haven't seen the second season but serious 1 I would thoughroully recommend!

The Ritual is a scary film! Very atmospheric and some lovely cinematography. Based on an ancient Viking legend about one of Loki's sons.
It's on Netflix.

The original Ring (or Ringu - Korean version). I had to turn all the lights on and put on a nice Disney film after watching that 😂 also The Conjuring made me fall of my chair in the cinema. The first Paranormal Activity, Insidious and Sinister. Depends what you find scary, gory stuff never bothers me (like Freddie Kruger, Chainsaw Massacre etc) it’s all about ghosts for me.

Oh yes 100% the Strangers!!

The Orphanage is haunting and sad also.

I love scary things and I couldn’t finish Ghost Stories on Netflix. Terrifying!

The vanishing (original). Its a long film for a single payoff but it completely did my head in. I am not a horror aficionado though.
