Top 5 Horror Movies That You Should Watch Right Away

Playbuzz

Horror movies have been around for a long time now. It was the legendary Alfred Hitchcock who revolutionized the art of making horror movies by producing and directing the timeless classic, "Psycho," which was released in 1960. Many great horror movies have been produced in the past years, and here is a list of some of the most watched horror movies that every horror film fan should take the time to watch.

1. The Shining

"The Shining" is perhaps the most well-made horror movie of all time. We are introduced to Jack Torrance who lives with his family in Overlook Hotel. The employer warns him that the former caretaker had murdered his family in this very hotel. Boasting an excellent cast and also great performances throughout, "The Shining" should definitely be on the must watch list of every horror movie fanatic.

2. The Conjuring 1 and 2

James Wan delivered one of his career-best films with the release of both The Conjuring 1 and 2. The plot of both of the films is somewhat similar and follows a family living in a house and being troubled by the ghostly spirit which lurks in the house. Excellent direction coupled along with fabulous performances from the leads, "The Conjuring" truly redefined the horror cinematic experience.

3. The Ring 1 and 2

You watch a tape and you have just seven days to live. "The Ring" is a great movie and really gives you the creeps and nobody should miss this classic.

4. The Others

Nicole Kidman flawlessly plays the role of a mother of two photosensitive children and is adamant on the fact that her house his haunted. It was nominated for a variety of awards such as a Golden Globe and BAFTA and should not be missed.

5. Oculus

"Oculus" isn't considered to be very scary, but it is the excellent plot as well as the crazy plot twists, which help it earn a place on this list. The plot follows a brother and sister hellbent on proving that a mirror that they used to keep in their house when they were kids is haunted and makes people do stuff that they wouldn't want to do. The movie keeps you gripped till the end and finishes off with a surprise twist.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
