Halloween is just around the corner and you know what that means -- scary movies and candy galore. I'm personally not the biggest fan of horror unless there's some psychological twists thrown in there, so while these movies might not be your traditional "gore and jump scare" types, they still do the trick of making you feel a bit...uneasy. Here are six films that will make your night a little spookier.

1. The Babadook, 2014

Australian director Jennifer Kent tells the story of an exasperated single mother and her troublesome young son in this fairly recent psychological horror. The dreary atmosphere and dark tones set the scene for chaos and inner turmoil within their small household, and the arrival of a frightening stranger known only as "the Babadook" only makes things worse.

2. Goodnight Mommy, 2014

Twin brothers living in the middle of nowhere welcome their mother home from her recent reconstructive surgery, but soon begin to suspect that she may not be who she says she is after all. Directed by Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala, this German film's beautifully minimal cinematography only contributes to the story's suspense.

3. A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, 2014

What's Halloween without vampires? Set in an Iranian ghost town known as "Bad City," Ana Lily Amirpour's black and white film is about a female vampire who spends her days targeting men who harm women. The movie's dark atmosphere is an accurate reflection of the modern-day horrors all women face, and the vampire quickly establishes herself as a nontraditional hero of sorts, haunting in her demeanor and frightening in her resolve.

4. The Silence of the Lambs, 1991

Johnathan Demme's cult classic is a must-see for the Halloween season as Anthony Hopkins's iconic portrayal as cannibal Hannibal Lecter is one that will make a lasting impression if you have not watched this film yet. The film predominately focuses on the psychological aspects of serial killers, and by the end the viewer is left still questioning the motives behind this infamous character.

5. The Sixth Sense, 1999

Arguably M. Night Shyamalan's best film (before the fiasco known as The Last Airbender came to be), The Sixth Sense revolves around a boy who can see spirits and the troubles that plague him. Though the ending is rather heartwarming, this movie is not without its scary moments -- communicating with the dead tends to not be the most reassuring of premises for any situation.

6. 告白 (Confessions), 2010

The bloodiest of all the films on this list, Confessions is a Japanese film involving a teacher trying to uncover which students of hers were responsible for the death of her infant daughter. Fluid camera shots and disturbing amounts of blood are prevalent in this movie, and director Tetsuya Nakashima revels in the usage of shadow to make it feel as if the entire film is some strange, ethereal nightmare.
