11 New Age Horror Movies That Will Make Your Skin Crawl

BOO! If you are as big of a horror movie fan as I am, you know excellent horror movies are hard to come by sometimes. Ya know, the ones have a terrifying plot and killer acting, it makes you feel as though are a part of the nightmare. Well, here some of my tops favs that almost made me have a panic attack that have come out in the last ten years. I highly recommend you see all of these movies, and believe me they are guaranteed to fack you up.

1. "The Babadook"

This guy is the stuff of anyone's nightmares. Coming from a seemingly harmless childrens book to wreak havoc on a mother and her son, their lives are turned completely upside down. This will movie will keep you checking all corners of your house wondering, where is he lurking? Am I next?

2. Hereditary

I was so impressed by this movie! The acting and plot came together so beautifully and the ending had me thrown for a loop. What makes this movie so interesting is the fact that the horror does not jump out at you, it slowly creeps up on you, leaving you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

3. Insidious

This movie had a rad plot with a boy who could astroproject (soul leaves body and travels into the "Further" where the spirits are) and bringing a demon back with him from the other side. This movie had so many jump scares as well as scenes that messed with your mind but still you couldn't keep your eyes off the screen.

4. Sinister

Children killing adults and elaborate yet realistic murder scenes? Yeah, possibly peed my pants during this flick. Jump scares and an insidious plot make it land on this list. It's a can't miss if you are a horror movie fanatic.

5. The Conjuring

google images

This movie is centered around a badass couple riding people's poltergeists from their lives. The wife is a medium who can sense the spirit world around her. And my god that music box, got me feeling some type of way in the worst way.

6. The Strangers

This movie loosely based off of the Manson Murders in 1969 that left 5 people dead. It will have you asking yourself "why did they even do this in the first place?" The answer will send a shiver down your spine. Don't forget to lock your door wouldn't want any unexpected visitors stopping by.

7. Dead Silence

My lawd this movie is the reason for my deep hatred of puppets to this day. Good ol Mary Shaw who made this killer doll Billy, sends him out to do her dirty work. What dirty work you ask? You'll have to watch and see. But I will give you a hint with this special little poem from the movie, "Beware the stare of Mary Shaw. She had no children, only dolls and if you see her in your dreams. Make sure you never ever scream…Or she'll rip your tongue out at the seam." Very spoopy indeed.

8. It Follows

Although the acting was not my favorite in the movie because it failed to create the sense of suspense I was hoping for, the concept of this movie is still super creepy. Imagine something following you around. It is always moving towards you, you cannot escape it. Better start running.

9. It

google images

Tim Curry will always have my heart is his original role in "It." But Bill Skarsgard honestly killed it (pun intended) with his portrayal of Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Making this classic clown even more demonic than before, I say it is a well done remake and a must see.

The Witch

The Witch is set in the 1600s with a Puritan family when witches were all the rage, and also the biggest fear. There are grotesque scenes, but honestly the creepiest part is is that the whole movie you feel like you are a fly on the wall, watching someone you should not watch. But the thing is, you can't look away

11. A Quiet Place

google images

The only movie I could actually be quiet through. There is only about 50 words spoken in actually dialogue throughout the movie. Even without the dialogue the movie is able to capture the suspense by the score and facial expressions. Now that is what I call acting. This movie will have you shaking in your shoes wondering who or what in the sam heck is stalking this family.

Hope you are very creeped out by now. Because nothing beats a scary movie that leaves you terrified and makes you take a stress bath. Not that I have ever done that after watching these movies… Can't wait to see what writers have in store for us next in the realm of scary movies. The more realistic the better. You know we secretly loved to be scared out of our minds.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
