It's that time of year, my favorite time of year actually. No, it's not Christmas, it's fall! Fall happens to be my favorite time of year. Maybe because my birthday is in November or because I love Halloween or sweatshirt weather but either way I love fall. It's also horror movie season so here I am with some movies to watch with your friends. I could add so many more than nine but here are some recent ones.
1. "The Babadook" (2014)
This movie is available for you to scare yourself on Netflix. I highly recommend it. It's full of scares and creepiness that comes with October. It is about a mother and her son who struggle since the death of her husband on the night her child was born. It's very well made. SPOILER ALERT! Stop now before you are spoiled...the dog dies. Just a warning.
2. "Last Shift" (2015)
This one is also on Netflix and will scare the sh*t out of you. It's about a rookie cop who has to take the last shift watching an old police station because they moved. I watched it on my laptop with headphones and I had to slam my laptop down and take a breather. There are all sorts of twists and turns with this movie and it keeps you guessing.
3. "V/H/S" (2012)
I watched this movie with friends and it scared me. It's about a group of friends who find a stash of VHS tapes and they have disturbing footage on them. I love how it was structured with like mini horror movies inside a horror movie. It was so unique and I liked this movie. It is a trilogy and I like the format so much that I might be willing to view the other two. This one is also on Netflix
4. "Sinister" (2012)
I watched this with my friend Cierra and I'm sure that she paid more attention to me being terrified than the movie. This movie is pure terror. It is about a writer who finds tapes of families being murdered and goes to investigate. The ending will is a surprise and I enjoyed this movie when I was not hiding under the blanket.
5. "The Conjuring" and "The Conjuring 2" (2013 & 2016)
6. "American Psycho" (2000)
This movie has been recommended across the board. It has the dashing Christian Bale as the main star which may confuse some Batman fans. It has dark humor and listed on many "Best Horror Movies" lists. It is about a business man who has a second life as a murderer. Christian Bales performance in this movie is creepy and you will get scared.
7. "The Blair Witch Project"( 1999)
Do I really to explain this one? I can remember this being one of the first horror movies I watched and it scared the life out of me. It is about a group of students filming a documentary about the "Blair Witch" and they go missing and their footage is found. A sequel came out this year so I would recommend seeing this one first.
8. "Lights Out" (2016)
I haven't personally seen this movie but when I asked people for their scariest horror movies, this one was the one constant. I heard so many things about this film. I have heard from my friend who does not scare easily and watches horror movies for fun that this is the scariest movie she's ever seen.
9. "Jeepers Creepers" 1 & 2 (2001 & 2003)
Okay these movies kept me up all night when I was younger. They scared me so much. The first one had some genuine scares but the second one was more gory in my opinion. They are both terrifying. I had to wait years until I was able to watch them again.
