A man sued Warner Bros after he was injured while fainting during a screening of The Exorcist. He claimed that the film contained subliminal messages that caused his fainting spell. When he lost consciousness, his face hit one of the seats, breaking his jaw. They settled out of court.

William Castle, a b-movie maker, allowed audiences refunds if a movie was too scary. Many abused it, angering Castle. The abuse stopped when he made refund seekers go to a “Coward’s Corner” in the theater as a record screamed “Watch the chicken!” and a yellow light followed across the theater. In addition, Castle made them […]

As a big fan of all things horror and science fiction, I have to say that I LOVE these illustrations.
They come to us from an illustrator named Ed Harrington who lives in Virginia.
Among other artworks, Harrington draws characters from horror and sci-fi movies as though they were instructions from IKEA.
The end products are totally awesome and also pretty funny, if you ask me.
Let’s take a look at Harrington’s work…you might never look at Freddy Krueger the same way again…
RoboCop for the win!
Or else you’ll regret it…
Three, four, better lock your door.
Will he ever escape from this?!?!
Build your own Darth Vader!
Especially those from The Walking Dead!
Definitely not someone you want to run into…
One of the movies that ruined my childhood.
Damien from The Omen.
Hello, Clarice…
Also known as Gage. If you haven’t seen it, you’ll never look at a scalpel or an Achilles tendon the same way ever again…
Masters of the Universe!
Those are awesome!
And what an amazingly original idea, right?
What other characters would you like to see Ed Harrington illustrate in this fashion?

I identify as a horror fanatic, so uncovering these codes is like Christmas Day for me!
Netflix has a whole bunch of hidden categories that you can explore with secret codes and we’re here to let you in on it!
To access each of these individual categories, sign into Netflix and replace the “xxx” in this web address (www.netflix.com/browse/genre/xxx) with the corresponding code number below OR just click directly on the links we provided. This WILL NOT work unless you’re signed in, so just make sure you don’t forget that step.
Are you ready to get creeped out?
Let’s get started!

I love B-horror movies! They’re usually low budget, gory, and a lot of fun!
Take the move in the picture above, for example. Killer Klowns from Outer Space. If you haven’t seen it, I suggest you change that ASAP.
If you enter this code, you can see that film as well as others like Death House and The Black Room.

Have you ever seen the movie Tremors? It’s a monster movie from 1990 that stars Kevin Bacon and the always-amazing (and underrated) Fred Ward and it is AWESOME.
Tap into this category to see this and other creature features like Shark Night and Dark Light.

When horror-comedy is done the right way, it is wonderful. The photo above is from Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, a great example of this genre.
This category will also let you watch such movies as Scary Movie, Little Evil, and Murder Party.

I think we can all agree that most people out there love a good monster movie.
By accessing this secret category on Netflix, you can enjoy Cloverfield, Godzilla, and Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, among others.

This is BY FAR my favorite sub-genre of horror films. It all started for me with Halloween and Friday the 13th back when I was young.
Some of the films you can watch with this code include Candyman, Terrifier, and the original Child’s Play from 1988.

If you like your horror movies to have a hint of the supernatural, this category is for you.
Enjoy the very creepy Sinister, The Witch, and Insidious among others when you utilize this code.

Teenagers and horror movies just go hand-in-hand, don’t they?
You bet they do!
The “Teen Screams” category in Netflix features such films as Final Destination, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, and Death Note.

Zombies are all the rage these days and here’s your opportunity to have a zombie fest any time you want to!
This category has The Evil Dead, Train to Busan, Rampant, and others for your viewing pleasure.

What good are all these scary movies if there’s not any Satanism included?
You just gotta have it! The “Satanic Stories” category allows you to watch the original version of The Wicker Man from 1973, The Devil Inside, The 9th Precinct, and others.
Alright horror fans, we want to hear from you.
In the comments, tell us some of the best horror movies you’ve seen lately and tell us where we can watch them.
Please and thank you!

There was an entire horror movie filmed inside the US Disney parks, without permission. Actors and crew dressed up as tourists and filmed over 2 weeks in each park. Disney chose to ignore the movie, most likely to avoid giving it further attention. It premiered at Sundance.

When I was 8-years-old, I stayed home sick from school and was all alone in the house. My older brother had rented a movie the night before, so I decided to spend my sick day watching The Evil Dead…
Oh boy.
It totally traumatized me but also gave me a love for horror movies that continues to this day.
People shared what scary flicks traumatized them and left a lasting impression. These responses come to us from the Buzzfeed Community.
Let’s see yours in the comments!
“It’s this movie from the late ’70s that no one’s ever heard of for some reason. It’s basically about a family rents a large estate one summer and a whole lot of weirdness goes down. It will mess you up for life.”
“This remake was so terrifying that I couldn’t finish watching it the first time. It took me a whole year to gather up the courage to try watching it again.”
“It’s been way too long since I’ve seen this, but it still terrifies the crap out of me!”
“My grandmother had 80 acres in the middle of nowhere in Wisconsin. I saw this movie when I was 5 or 6 years old and was terrified to sleep in that house at night because it seemed like the perfect setting for those zombies. It still creeps me out.”
“I thought it sounded like a funny premise, but it kept me up the whole night and bothered me for weeks. I’ve watched a lot of horror movies. I don’t know what it is about this one, but it absolutely haunted me.”
“I was nine and Chucky somehow reminded me of my American girl doll. I had to put her away in my closet every night so that she wouldn’t stare at me with her huge eyes and buck teeth trying to plot my death while I slept.”
“I watched this when I was a kid and I haven’t had a worry-free shower in 16 years.”
“This is the most disturbing, gory, hopeless movie ever made. I legitimately wish I could erase it from my brain.”
“I saw it when I was about eight and — although I had already seen other horror movies because my parents were huge horror fans — this movie was the only one to give me nightmares. To this very day I get apprehensive around undertakers, especially if they are tall and wearing a dark suit.”
“I went and saw a late night showing of this with a friend, knowing absolutely nothing about the film. Then, when the trailers for new movies started playing and they were all scary movie trailers, I knew that we were in for a ride. We were terrified!”
“I watched this one night randomly at 3 AM because I couldn’t sleep and I love witch movies. It scared the heck out of me! It reminded me of the movie The Village, but scarier. It seemed so real. I will never watch it again!”
“I can deal with a ton of violence and gore, but Lord, the sadism in that movie was off the charts.”
“If you haven’t seen it, be thankful. I saw this when I was 10 and it is no less disturbing to me in my 40’s. Most horror movies nowadays don’t bother me, but maybe it’s because this one desensitized me.”
“You can’t make a list about movies that mess you up without mentioning this one. My friend and I watched the original German version. I thought I was going to throw up and made my friends turn it off.”
“This should definitely be on this list. I watched it back when it first came out and — to this day — I won’t answer the door if I’m home alone (unless I’ve ordered food, of course).”

Gremlins hit theaters in 1984, and it’s safe to say that the horror/comedy film has become a cult classic that a whole lot of people watch around Christmas.
Let’s all have a refresher and watch the original trailer, okay?
If you’re a fan of this fun, freaky, fright-fest, I have great news for you! Gremlins is returning to theaters for one week only: December 5 – December 11.
It makes sense, because the film is set during Christmastime and some consider it a “holiday movie” (omg that scene…you know that one I’m talking about).
If you’ve never seen Joe Dante’s Gremlins, let’s get all caught up. A man buys his son a gift at a store in Chinatown. What does he buy? A ‘mogwai’, an adorable little creature that comes with a few rules. The shopkeeper tells the man not to expose the creature to bright light or water…and don’t feed it after midnight.
Well, you can probably imagine what happens next. I’ll leave the rest up in the air, just in case you’ve never seen it before.
The film will screen in 4DX, which Regal describes as “immersive cinematic experience presents the future of the movie industry.” Or, as one website put it, “4DX at Regal is the ultimate experience involving motion chairs and special effects like wind and rain.”
Which sounds legitimately awesome.
Be sure to check out the Regal Cinemas page to see if and where Gremlins will be playing by you in December.
Do you remember the first time you saw Gremlins? Tell us about it in the comments! And remember, whatever you do, don’t feed them after midnight!

The 2010s are almost in the history books and we get to start a new decade very son. So what will be the legacy of the past ten years?
No, I’m not talking about politics or big news events, I’m talking about HORROR MOVIES. People always talk about the classics from the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s, but the 2010s haven’t exactly been a slouch when it comes to scary movies.
Here are 20 that you might want to check out to get a good scare.
These responses come to us from the Buzzfeed Community.
“I had to sleep with my closet light on for a week after watching this movie!”
“At first you think it’s just another haunting by an evil supernatural being but it actually has a deeper real-world meaning that addresses mental health and the impact it can have on you and those around you.”
“I legit had to pause in the INTRODUCTION scene, where the family is being hung from a tree in slow motion, because I was already overcome with anxiety.”
“Horror movies don’t really scare me, so for me they are mostly meh. Sometimes there are gems with a great atmosphere like Midsommar, but Get Out was the first horror movie that gave me chills. And it’s an Oscar winner as well.”
“Toni Collette’s scream when seeing her daughter made me wish that there was an Oscar category for best scream. It’s that good and terrifying! I had to stop the movie after that scene before I could go on.”
“The first one terrified me so badly I couldn’t walk down the hall to my bedroom. Slept downstairs for MONTHS. I can’t even explain what it was but it was so unsettling it caused me anxiety and paranoia for a very long time. Jump scares don’t normally do that much to me but man…. I was just a wreck.”
“I feel like not enough people talk about how scary Mama was. I saw that movie when I was 25 and still had to sleep with the lights on for a week.”
“Hush is one of the best stalker movies I’ve seen in a long time. I thought it was going to be one of those typical slasher films but it turned out to be a really intense game of cat and mouse.”
“It truly packs a punch when it comes to scare factor on the first viewing. The concept was fresh and truly terrifying. Just a great ride overall.”
“Last Shift is the scariest f$&@ing movie I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen everything known to man. Lights were ON for a while at bedtime that night.”
“Train to Busan was the best zombie movie I have seen in a long time. As someone who travels on the train often the thought of getting stuck on a train full of zombies is terrifying. The pacing was brilliant and the characters were really well thought out, you care about what happens to the characters. I have loved Gong Yoo ever since I saw him in Goblin and this was on my bucket list and it definitely did not disappoint.”
“The Blackcoat’s Daughter was terrifying. The twist ending wasn’t hard to see coming, but the slow boil up to that point created a sense of dread that made me petrified to see what was about to happen.”
“It was the type of movie that sits in your mind, plays tricks on you for weeks, unsettles you for longer. I saw it months ago and it still knocks me off kilter when I think of it.”
“Oculus is phenomenal! I love horror but I don’t spook easily. This one makes you question what you’re even watching and where it falls in the timeline. It definitely had me jump but it leans more on psychological horror than jump scares.”
“I’m a horror fanatic and the only horror film that has ever genuinely scared me is The Duplass Brothers’ Creep. Peachfuzz actually gave me nightmares. It’s a found footage film and it’s just two characters (one of whom is hardly ever on screen), but it’s legitimately terrifying.”
“The one that made me have to sleep with the lights on for a WEEK is…Shadow People. Super creepy and way underrated!”
“The film had me at the edge of my seat the whole time but what’s scarier is after you leave the film and really think about all of the hidden meanings and social commentary about the film, it feels far too real and that plot twist at the end is heartbreaking but also makes you question everything.”
“1922 was horrifying because the main character can’t escape his murderous act no matter what he does, and everything in his life falls apart.”
“The Invitation was soooooooo unsettling. You have no idea if the protagonist really is just paranoid or if there’s something truly sinister going on. The last 15 minutes scared the crap out of me.”
“Scarier than anything else in these comments by far. I love scary movies but this one fucked me up.”

Listen up, parents!
Halloween and scary movies don’t have to be all about blood, guts, and gore, right?
RIGHT!
We need to leave some room for the kids to have a good time and get all creeped out this Halloween season, too. Well, we’re all in luck!
Here are 12 movies that are spooky, but not too spooky. They’re creepy, but not too creepy. You get my drift: they’re Halloween movies that are kid-friendly.
So before you send your kids out the door to trick or treat, they can enjoy these movies to get in the Halloween spirit.
Bonus: some of these are on Netflix so you don’t have to go very far!
It’s tough out there for a young witch, isn’t it? Beatrix’s chances of being inducted into the ranks of witches becomes jeopardized and she relies on her best friend, a rat, to help her out.
Is R.L. Stine the best, or what? If you’re familiar with his Goosebumps series, then you’ll love this movie.
Eve is a teenage witch who just turned Sweet 16, and she accidentally summons an ancestor who might be up to no good. Uh oh!
Goosebumps + Halloween + kids who need to save the day = a great recipe.
Our beloved Mickey faces off against a whole lot of Disney villains. Don’t mess with Mickey!
Four short stories that will definitely send chills up your spine (and definitely the kids’!).
Another set of stories that features characters from some of DreamWorks’ most iconic films, including Shrek and Megamind. Spooky and fun!
We’re going all the way back to the 1980s with this one! A very young Fred Savage befriends the monster who lives under his bed. What an adventure!
Enjoy the family dynamic of a group of classic movie monsters, including characters similar to Frankenstein, a mummy, a werewolf, and a witch.
A kid who is a little too old to have a babysitter discovers that the one his parents hired to watch him might not exactly be human.
Spookley is a different kind of pumpkin…he’s square. But he doesn’t let that get him down and he shows all the other pumpkins that it’s okay to be different.
I’ve heard some parents say that Coraline is a little too creepy for the young ones, but give it a shot and see how the kiddos react. At least they’ll be interested because visually the film is so fascinating.
