6 Horror Flicks That Are Actually Scary For Your Halloween Binge-Watching

Although there are plenty of horror movies and thrillers that are enjoyable and entertaining to watch, there seem to be limited horror movies that are actually scary. While some movies are like this or are more just on the gory side, there are others that are truly terrifying.

It is somewhat unclear as to why people gain enjoyment from watching such horrendous creatures in their element. Some say that one may be seeking an adrenaline rush. Others say it distracts us from the fears and issues in our own lives. I

f you are like me, and oddly enjoy the thrill of movies so horrifying that will not only send chills up your spine but make you fear being alone in the dark, then check out these movies that will keep you fearfully on the edge of your seat.

1. 'The Grudge'

A nurse, Karen, is sent to Tokyo, Japan and is accompanied by a spirit called The Grudge. As she carries out her duties as a caregiver, she discovers a curse that haunts anyone who enters the house. Something about the disturbing pale figure of The Grudge, and even the sound she makes, still terrifies me to this day, especially since I first watched it as a child.

2. 'Insidious' 

'Insidious' accounts a family haunted by demons and powerful forces as they attempt to save their son. With plenty of jump scares, supernatural events, and a suspenseful plot, 'Insidious' is one you can rewatch and still be terrified.

3. 'The Exorcist' 

When a teenage girl begins to act unusual out of the blue, her parents attempt to get medical help. After this failed, they turn to a priest who performs an exorcism to extract the demon from her. This frightening movie has realistic characters and is known as one of the greatest horror movies of all time.

4. 'The Cabin in the Woods'

A group of college students take a vacation and stay at a cabin located in a remote area in the middle of the forest. They discover something surprising and unexpected in the basement. This movie is mixed with horror from the monstrous creatures and even some humor, especially from the fact that scientists are in complete control of the terror the college students experience.

5. 'The Orphanage' 

'The Orphanage' is about a couple who raises their son in the orphanage in which the wife had grown up in, thinking it would be a positive experience for him. Their son claims to have an invisible friend and a haunted presence joins the family in the house. Creepy children and plenty of jump scares makes this a dark and petrifying film.

6. 'The Sinister'

'The Sinister' combines horror with drama and murder mystery. A family moves into a new house where previous murders occurred. Though it may sound like it, this is not your typical horror movie. Though graphic and occasionally violent, I would say 'The Sinister' is a well-made horror movie.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
