Save yourselves! Our list of the scariest movies EVER

Event Horizon: I hate flying, so the idea of space frightens me anyway. But being adrift in space in the future with a disgruntled, blood thirsty, latin-speaking, burn-victim astronaut spirit absolutely terrified me. That and Candyman. That shit was scary.

Some movies create horrors that follow you home, none more so than The Exorcist, William Friedkin’s notorious depiction of demonic possession. Linda Blair’s Regan transforms from a cute, normal little girl to a misshapen, all-knowing, possibly homicidal ghoul. The Exorcist’s nightmarish sound design alone can fray a viewer’s nerves, but the film violates the rule that what you don’t see is scarier than what you do, offering a glimpse of unimaginable, inexplicable evil and hostility made flesh. The Exorcist combination of stark fear and abhorrence proves so potent, even remembering it can scare you.

The Ring screwed me up bad in high school.
