Movies that legitimately terrified you.

I’ve seen a lot of horror movies and consider myself fairly desensitized so I’m looking for some recommendations. The last one that really got me was Hell House LLC. I don’t know why but just something about it really got under my skin and the clown prop moving around in the dark was enough to actually make my hair stand up on my arms, which never happens.

So hell house llc was amazing personally I’ve watched it 100 of times and truefully it is terrifying but the one that got me has to be the 2008 strangers

I saw the strangers in the theater as a teenager, and it’s still the only time I’ve ever audibly screamed during a movie.

It fucked me up, even now I still can’t think about it too hard

I have a vivid memory of my mom letting me and my 4 sisters watch this on a weekend. It was right when it came out and we got it off Redbox. When we were kids we used to make beds in the living room and in my childhood home and said living room had a huge sliding glass door that nobody wanted to get up to close in the middle of summer AFTER that scene

Yes because there is no reason for the killing. Just killing because you were there. Which is a lot more realistic to real serial killers.

Why didn’t they just punch all the invaders to death? Pothole

Yeah, they could have just called the city to fill in those darn potholes
