It's...it's a trip, ya'll.

3. The Conjuring (2013)

4. The Babadook (2014)

6. It Follows (2015)

9. Life After Beth (2014)

A24

Mourning the death of his beloved girlfriend, Beth, Zach is understandably confused when she mysteriously comes back to life, though not ENTIRELY as herself (spoilers: she's a zombie).

10. Little Evil (2017)

Netflix

A stepdad attempts to bond with his new family, but there's one MAJOR problem: His new stepson happens to be a The Omen-esque anti-christ.

11. Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil (2010)

Magnet Releasing

A perfect comedic spin on the slasher genre, two backwoods besties are just trying to enjoy their woodsy vacation when a bunch of really dumb college kids staying in a nearby cabin keep mistaking them for blood-thirsty hillbillies.

12. The Babysitter (2017)

Netflix

A young boy's crush on his beautiful babysitter turns deadly when he stays up past his bed time to spy on her, discovering that she's part of a satanic cult set on sacrificing him as the "blood of the innocent." It's okay kid, we've all been there (JK, no one has, but it's fine).

13. Verónica (2017)

Enrique López Lavigne

If possession bothers you (which, like, it should)...maybe steer clear of this one? In 1991 Madrid, a group of school girls have a séance with less-than-desirable results, leaving their apartment contaminated with an evil presence.

14. Raw (2016)

Focus World

Even if you have the most basic, limited knowledge of horror movies, you've probably heard of this one, as it quickly became defined by its word-of-mouth (accidental pun) publicity. This involved everything from people getting physically sick to full-on fainting in theaters. Pro-tip: Don't watch this one while eating.

15. Teeth (2007)

Roadside Attractions

This plot literally sounds like something you'd say to your friends when you're really, REALLY drunk: "Okay guys but, like, what if my vagina had teeth?" That's the whole plot of the film. It's ridiculous, but somehow also terrifying.

16. The Witch (2015)

A24

A family living on the edge of a ~super spooky~ forest in colonial New England believe a witch has cursed them, which causes their collective paranoia to take on a life of its own. Chaos ensues.

17. Creep (2014)

The Orchard

A broke videographer takes on a questionable project for a VERY odd client. The title of this film pretty much tells you everything you'll ever need to know about it.

18. Train to Busan (2016)

Next Entertainment World

A father and his daughter attempt to escape a terrifying viral outbreak via train. This film was Korea's first blockbuster zombie film and is so amazing, it's actually in the process of being remade as a big budget Hollywood film.
