I hate horror movies. Iām very much a big sissy when it comes to them. Even the xfiles would keep me up for days.

I was afraid of horror movies quite a bit as well. Part of my reason for watching so many of them is to overcome that fear.
I think it partially worked. I still canāt get over leprechauns though. They still freak me out š

Haha itās funny to me that you mention leprechauns because that was the first horror movie that I watched and I think it ruined the whole genre.

Iām not a huge fan of horror films either. Iāve only seen about 4 of the ones on @kirupaās list. Iām sure thereās more artistry to it that people appreciate than what Iām about to describe, but it seems like you could just set your speakers to make a really really loud noise every `Math.random * 15 minutes` or so and itād be the same experience.
One I recommend against seeing is _[Harry Potter and the Old Mansion (Not Shell Cottage) on a Seashore](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Woman_in_Black_%282012_film%29)_. The whole movie is basically about how he canāt cast the Patronus charm because he snapped the Elder Wand in the movie adaptation.

Thatās like the Shawshank Redemption of horror movies! You canāt go wrong with liking it š

I updated the list at the top with them. I forgot the exact ones I added, but the most recent one I saw was **Annabelle: The Creation**. The movie **Us** was also really good.

I forced myself to overcome my fear of scary movies. It helps if you know there are other people around that you can attribute any sounds to. Living in a college dorm was perfect. Watching movies in theaters was also good, but then the drive home and going to sleep can be terrifyingā¦unless you decide to sleep in the theater that day š¤Ŗ

I will go with āGone Girlā , even if itās not really in the horror category.
Thatās because @kirupa already mentioned all the big names ā¦

While not a movie per se, two excellent horror TV shows we watched recently were Netflixās **Haunting of Hill House** and **Haunting of Bly Manor**.

Include **Donāt Listen** (2020) masterfully reveals an atmosphere of horror and tension, making it well worth your while.

Probably not that much of a horror film but I though Room 1408 in the cinema was pretty trippy š I cant imagine doing something like that on acidā¦ š

Updated the list with the movies I remembered from the past few years. There are definitely more, but Iāll be more diligent in updating this.
