People Share the Horror Movies That Fully Traumatized Them…Let’s Take a Look

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!

1. Burnt Offerings (1976)

“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.”

2. Evil Dead (2013)

“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.”

3. The Hitcher (1986)

“It’s been way too long since I’ve seen this, but it still terrifies the crap out of me!”

4. Night of the Living Dead (1968)

“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.”

5. Tusk (2014)

“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.”

6. Child’s Play (1988)

“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.”

7. Arachnophobia (1990)

“I watched this when I was a kid and I haven’t had a worry-free shower in 16 years.”

8. The Descent (2006)

“This is the most disturbing, gory, hopeless movie ever made. I legitimately wish I could erase it from my brain.”

9. Phantasm (1979)

“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.”

10. Hereditary (2018)

“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!”

11. The Witch (2013)

“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!”

12. I Spit on Your Grave (1978)

“I can deal with a ton of violence and gore, but Lord, the sadism in that movie was off the charts.”

13. The Entity (1982)

“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.”

14. Funny Games (1997)

“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.”

15. The Strangers (2008)

“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).”

20 of the Best Horror Movies from the 2010s

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.

1. Lights Out (2016)

“I had to sleep with my closet light on for a week after watching this movie!”

2. The Babadook (2014)

“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.”

3. Sinister (2012)

“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.”

4. Get Out (2017)

“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.”

5. Hereditary (2018)

“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.”

6. The Conjuring (2013)

“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.”

7. Mama (2013)

“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.”

8. Hush (2016)

“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.”

9. Insidious (2010)

“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.”

10. Last Shift (2014)

“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.”

11. Train to Busan (2016)

“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.”

12. The Blackcoat’s Daughter (2015)

“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.”

13. The Witch (2015)

“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.”

14. Oculus (2013)

“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.”

15. Creep (2014)

“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.”

16. Shadow People (2012)

“The one that made me have to sleep with the lights on for a WEEK is…Shadow People. Super creepy and way underrated!”

17. Us (2019)

“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.”

18. 1922 (2017)

“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.”

19. The Invitation (2015)

“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.”

20. Bone Tomahawk (2015)

“Scarier than anything else in these comments by far. I love scary movies but this one fucked me up.”

20 Underrated Horror Movies You Might Want to Watch During Halloween Season

You’ve probably watched most of the classic horror movies that pop up around the Halloween season, but unless you’re a fanatic, you might have missed a bunch of lesser-known creepy movies that offer big scares.

Try these underrated horror movies on for size.

These suggestions come to us from the Buzzfeed community…and I added a couple of my own personal favorites on at the end.

1. 1408 (2007)

“1408 is really good, and the theatrical ending is way better than the original. It’s such an underrated movie.”

2. Funny Games (2007)

“Funny Games should definitely be on this list! It’s so creepy and after seeing it, the sound of a golf ball dropping on a hardwood floor STILL gets to me.”

3. Absentia (2011)

“If you’re looking for low-key, atmospheric horror, here it is.”

4. Trick ‘r Treat (2007)

“I’m a huge horror movie fan, and when I saw Trick ‘r Treat I thought it would be a mediocre horror movie. But boy was I wrong, it’s brilliant! It has a campy feel to it but it was just as intense as most horror movies.”

5. The Evil Dead (1981)

“The Evil Dead is the best cult classic of horror. The effects are campy but creepy as hell and the next two in the trilogy take it to the next level. Seriously, Evil Dead is one of the only horror movies I can watch on repeat. Sam Raimi is a genius.”

6. Contagion (2011)

“I know it’s only rated PG-13, but the most terrifying part about this movie is how realistic it is!”

7. The Fourth Kind (2009)

“It’s about aliens and probably won’t scare everyone who watches it, but it’s definitely the movie that kept me up the longest. I’ve seen the classics, but this one still gives me chills when I think about it.”

8. Cabin Fever 3: Patient Zero (2014)

“It’s an unspoken rule with horror that sequels suck, but Cabin Fever 3 is an exception. It’s gory, intense, clever, and pretty much everything a horror movie should be.”

9. The Mist (2007)

“This movie isn’t scary because of what’s in the mist, but because of how all the survivors turned on each other. That’s what truly scared me the most. Seeing The Mist was also one of the few times I’ve been open-mouth shocked at an ending.”

10. Creep (2004)

“Creep is a British film based in the tunnels of the London Underground. It terrified me when I first saw it and still does now.”

11. A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)

“This movie is brilliantly scary. It’s a South Korean horror film about a girl returning to her family home following a stay in a psychiatric unit. One of the scariest scenes features the main character’s sister hearing a strange noise in the middle of the night and hiding under the covers. Without cutting away from her on the bed, we hear the door open, footsteps towards the bed, then see the blankets pulled down away from her face. It’s honestly terrifying, gorgeously shot, and has such a great twist ending.”

12. Monsters (2010)

“It flew way under the radar and was unfairly brushed off as a poor-man’s Cloverfield, but this is a must-see. This film is a good chronicle of two characters trying to survive something much bigger than themselves, and it really wins during the last half hour. It’s beautiful, scary, and surprisingly thought provoking.”

13. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

“The 1978 version with Donald Sutherland is the creepiest atmospheric sci-fi horror film I’ve ever seen!”

14. Final Destination 3 (2006)

“Everybody needs to see Final Destination 3. The rest are pretty meh, but the third installment totally revolutionizes the horror genre. There’s no movie like it!”

15. Shutter (2004)

“Horror movies don’t scare me too easily, but the one horror movie that seriously freaked me out was The Shutter. This horror movie freaked me and my sister out so much that she couldn’t sleep for a week. I watched it years ago, and the name Natre still freaks me out.”

16. Hide and Seek (2005)

“Hide and Seek with Dakota Fanning and Robert De Niro was such a well thought out movie. The whole thing is really suspenseful and keeps your mind going. It’s a different kind of horror than most and I absolutely loved it. It’s definitely a must see.”

17. Pulse (2006)

“In an era where people are so reliant on technology and Wi-Fi, the movie Pulse really hits you hard.”

18. Dead Silence (2007)

“The movie is a mix of horrifying dolls and unexpected plot twists. I watched it when I was about 13 or 14 and had nightmares for months afterwards. To this day it’s still the scariest movie I’ve ever seen.”

And here are a couple that I recommend…

19. High Tension (2003)

Two friends retreat to the countryside in France and are stalked by a psycho killer hell-bent on killing them and anyone else who gets in his way. Creepy!

20. Angel Heart (1987)

Mickey Rourke plays a 1950s private eye who is hired to track down a singer that disappeared in Times Square after World War II ended. A really creepy, atmospheric film that sees Rourke travel through the seedy underworld of New York and New Orleans.

15 Movies People Saw Too Young That Scarred Them for Life

Did you have a childhood movie that scared the hell out of you and you were WAY too young to watch at the time?

Mine? The original version of The Evil Dead from 1981. Gave me major nightmares.

But these 15 below are pretty brutal tiny soul-killers, too.

#15. I didn’t sleep for the entire summer.

“I snuck in to see The Exorcist when I was 12. I didn’t sleep for an entire summer. One morning, about 6am, a woodpecker or some bird got into our attic and was pecking and flying back and forth. I woke up my younger brother and sister, made them come with me to the attic door. I made them hold hands with me and say the Our Father. I was out of my mind.

EDIT: my first gold! Thank you so much!”

#14. That’s what older brothers are for.

“Jeepers Creepers. But I think it’s mostly due to the fact that my older brother convinced me it was based on true events.”

#13. That movie messed me up.

“The Hills Have Eyes (•-•). That movie messed me up for a long time.”

#12. Never seen one in real life.

“My brother made me watch the first scene of Twister when I was 7.

Didn’t watch any of the rest of the movie after seeing the dad get ripped from the doorway in front of his family. I’m still terrified of tornadoes 20 years later, even though I live in a place that never gets them and have never seen one in real life.

Edit: For all of you commenting that you became amateur weathermen due to your fear of tornadoes, I feel you, that was also my first career choice as a kid.”

#11. Weeks and weeks of nightmares.

“Poltergiest.

Weeks and weeks of nightmares centered around that thing that honestly looks like it was made from paper mache, and the skeletons. I was goddamned terrified of skeletons as a child.”

#10. Father knows best.

“My dad thought it would be a good idea for me to watch The shining when I was 6.”

#9. Fears in real life.

“I forget which one but it was one of the Final Destination movies, it was the one where there was a guy who died to a pool drain and someone died because their shoelace got stuck in an escalator, that gave me a fear of escalators for a while.”

#8. In the middle of the night.

“Pet semetary. I still get a little freaked when getting out of bed in the middle of night for fear a crazy undead child will slice my Achilles with a knife”

#7. My little heart couldn’t take anymore.

“E.T. My dad had to take me out of the theater. I was screaming and crying and my little heart couldn’t take anymore. That’s a rough one.”

#6. I will never be old enough.

“I will never be old enough to rewatch Requiem for a Dream

Edit: Thanks for the gold! Also these comments are depressing me at work lol”

#5. Was not ready.

“The Fly (1986)

My young mind was not ready for that movie.”

#4. The melting dude.

“RoboCop.

The melting dude got me bad.”

#3. Buggy fruit.

“James and the Giant Peach gave me my irrational fear of insects and insects inside fruits.”

#2. Not-so-tongue-in-cheek.

“Mars Attacks! I had seen violence in movies before but the ray guns turning people into skeletons freaked me out for some reason.”

#1. I had never watched a scary movie before.

“The ring. I was around 7 or 8 at the time and had never watched a scary movie before. Anyways made it to the end of the movie completely shitting myself. Used to sleep in my clothes, pee in jars and hide them in a drawer to avoid going to the bathroom late at night, if I was brave enough to make it to the bathroom I would sleep on the floor. Had an old tv in my room at the time that I would cover at night with a blanket lol this went on for easily a year then I started to get over the fear decided I was gonna watch tv one night flicking through the channels and what do i see? The ring 2 ?

So yeah seeing Wells or tv static still sends a chill down my spine

Edit: Wow thanks for all the up-votes and my first gold! It’s crazy seeing how many others were affected by this movie then again I can’t say I am suprised.. got me thinking about another movie that messed me up big time which was the alien movie Signs.. especially the recording where the alien walks passed the kids party I remember just being paralysed with fear.”

I’m so glad now that at least I was in middle school. Yikes!

15 Truly Terrifying Horror Movies That Don’t Rely on Cheap Scares

Are you a horror movie nut? Frankly, I’m a big ol’ scaredy-cat but my wife really loves them so I’ve ended up seeing a few as well. The thing is, not all horror movies are created equally – some just rely on gimmicks and gore rather than actually cultivating a sense of dread in the viewer.

If you’re a horror fan looking for some suggestions, it’s a good thing you clicked on this link. Users of AskReddit shared their favorite terrifying horror films that don’t rely on cheap gags and scares, and they did NOT disappoint.

Take note of these!

1. Lake Mungo

“Lake Mungo.

Shot like a documentary, and definitely one of the more realistic mockunentaries I’ve ever seen. It’s about a family in Australia who believe their house is being haunted by the presence of the recently deceased teenage daughter. Since it’s meant to be realistic, the entire film kind of focuses on the idea that spirits aren’t real. That’s all I’ll say about the plot.

It’s been about two years since I first (and last) seen it and it has certainly stuck with me. I think about it often.”

2. Good choice

“John Carpenter’s The Thing.”

3. Ringu

“The original Japanese version of The Ring (“Ringu”).”

4. The Ritual

“The Ritual is a great movie, and it’s on Netflix.

“Reuniting after the tragic death of their friend, four college pals set out to hike through the Scandinavian wilderness. A wrong turn leads them into the mysterious forests of Norse legend, where an ancient evil exists and stalks them at every turn.”

5. An old fashioned ghost story

“The Others (2001).”

6. From 1979

“Alien.”

7. A classic!

“The Hitcher. Its just this teenager who picked up a murder hobo, escaped, but then sees him in another car with a family and tries to intervene.”

8. I need to check this one out

“I don’t know anyone else that’s seen it, but They Look Like People is a pretty unsettling psychological horror.”

9. Unsettling

“Jacobs Ladder for sure, very unsettling atmospheres.”

10. Spooky

“Event Horizon was pretty spooky.”

11. Take Kubrick’s word

“The Vanishing. Dutch film. Completely terrifying. Kubrick said it was the scariest movie he ever saw.”

12. Home invasion

“Hush (2016) Most home invasion movies freak me out but this one really stuck with me.”

13. Here are two for you

“Night of the Living Dead (1968). The classic zombie flick scared the shit out of me as a kid! :O

It Follows (2015). The modern monster flick scared the shit out of me as an adult! :O “

14. Into the Catacombs we go

“One movie I liked that didn’t grab too much traction was As Above, So Below, about a group of college kids that get lost in the catacombs below Paris, and the demons they meet down there. It’s unsettling as a film, but also because it has actually happened that several people, drunk or whatnot, have ventured into the catacombs and gotten lost and died. The movie was filmed in the actual catacombs, and the effects are really good. Plus there is a psycological aspect to the haunting that occurs, particularly amongst the more guilty of the group. Would recommend.

There are jump scares, but they are legitimate.”

15. Nightmares

“The Mothman Prophecies” shares a spot with the original “Nosferatu” as one of three movies that legitimately gave me nightmares.”
