11 New Age Horror Movies That Will Make Your Skin Crawl

BOO! If you are as big of a horror movie fan as I am, you know excellent horror movies are hard to come by sometimes. Ya know, the ones have a terrifying plot and killer acting, it makes you feel as though are a part of the nightmare. Well, here some of my tops favs that almost made me have a panic attack that have come out in the last ten years. I highly recommend you see all of these movies, and believe me they are guaranteed to fack you up.

1. "The Babadook"

This guy is the stuff of anyone's nightmares. Coming from a seemingly harmless childrens book to wreak havoc on a mother and her son, their lives are turned completely upside down. This will movie will keep you checking all corners of your house wondering, where is he lurking? Am I next?

2. Hereditary

I was so impressed by this movie! The acting and plot came together so beautifully and the ending had me thrown for a loop. What makes this movie so interesting is the fact that the horror does not jump out at you, it slowly creeps up on you, leaving you on the edge of your seat the entire time.

3. Insidious

This movie had a rad plot with a boy who could astroproject (soul leaves body and travels into the "Further" where the spirits are) and bringing a demon back with him from the other side. This movie had so many jump scares as well as scenes that messed with your mind but still you couldn't keep your eyes off the screen.

4. Sinister

Children killing adults and elaborate yet realistic murder scenes? Yeah, possibly peed my pants during this flick. Jump scares and an insidious plot make it land on this list. It's a can't miss if you are a horror movie fanatic.

5. The Conjuring

google images

This movie is centered around a badass couple riding people's poltergeists from their lives. The wife is a medium who can sense the spirit world around her. And my god that music box, got me feeling some type of way in the worst way.

6. The Strangers

This movie loosely based off of the Manson Murders in 1969 that left 5 people dead. It will have you asking yourself "why did they even do this in the first place?" The answer will send a shiver down your spine. Don't forget to lock your door wouldn't want any unexpected visitors stopping by.

7. Dead Silence

My lawd this movie is the reason for my deep hatred of puppets to this day. Good ol Mary Shaw who made this killer doll Billy, sends him out to do her dirty work. What dirty work you ask? You'll have to watch and see. But I will give you a hint with this special little poem from the movie, "Beware the stare of Mary Shaw. She had no children, only dolls and if you see her in your dreams. Make sure you never ever scream…Or she'll rip your tongue out at the seam." Very spoopy indeed.

8. It Follows

Although the acting was not my favorite in the movie because it failed to create the sense of suspense I was hoping for, the concept of this movie is still super creepy. Imagine something following you around. It is always moving towards you, you cannot escape it. Better start running.

9. It

google images

Tim Curry will always have my heart is his original role in "It." But Bill Skarsgard honestly killed it (pun intended) with his portrayal of Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Making this classic clown even more demonic than before, I say it is a well done remake and a must see.

The Witch

The Witch is set in the 1600s with a Puritan family when witches were all the rage, and also the biggest fear. There are grotesque scenes, but honestly the creepiest part is is that the whole movie you feel like you are a fly on the wall, watching someone you should not watch. But the thing is, you can't look away

11. A Quiet Place

google images

The only movie I could actually be quiet through. There is only about 50 words spoken in actually dialogue throughout the movie. Even without the dialogue the movie is able to capture the suspense by the score and facial expressions. Now that is what I call acting. This movie will have you shaking in your shoes wondering who or what in the sam heck is stalking this family.

Hope you are very creeped out by now. Because nothing beats a scary movie that leaves you terrified and makes you take a stress bath. Not that I have ever done that after watching these movies… Can't wait to see what writers have in store for us next in the realm of scary movies. The more realistic the better. You know we secretly loved to be scared out of our minds.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
