The First Omen honestly scared the hell out of me on first watch. The jumpscares were jarring asf and the girl just standing and staring at her…I was horrified 😭😭♥️

[@dianes.3718]

Oddity for me was very scary a couple of other movies. I find really scary or hereditary and I’ve watched it several times I own it so I’ve watched it several times and the black coats daughter, which was directed by the same guy that directed long legs I have not seen long legs, so I can’t give an opinion on that one

[@booksandsabrinacarpenter]

i find found footage scary just like u - and personally I really enjoyed host,unfriended 1 and 2,the visit,sinister & the medium. special mention to "the medium". you should really check it out :)

Sinister's sound design and those tapes are still one of the most unsettling things I've seen and heard.

[@anakin-is-panakin]

Did you ever listen to the credits 💀 I worked at a movie theater at the time and I hated cleaning after sinister.

[@Seasixk]

@@anakin-is-panakinoh hell no I can’t imagine 😭

[@anakin-is-panakin]

@ it is truly terrifying lol if you watch it any time soon and don’t know what im talking about, def listen. I even had a manager hide in the theater and scare me during it 😭 free tickets whenever I wanted tho so

[@EstvanSnow]

The 'music' in Sinister is the most disturbing score I've ever heard. I tried to listen to it in the dark with headphones on. I failed 😂 That movie scared the f out of me

[@Suzanne99]

The fact that you put "The Fourth kind" on your list, perfection. This is the ONLY movie that has ever fooled me into believing it was real. Loved all of your picks

[@K.rystal8]

I agree! Such a good movie.

[@pauladavidson1285]

Amazing movie

[@KellyOrtegaA]

So true. It’s scared me so much. I will never watch that movie again.

[@daygriego9554]

it’s the reason I’m terrified of malevolent aliens lol

[@bagandbroad]

I rewatched it recently, thinking I’d be fine with it all these years later knowing it was a gimmick. Holy shit, nope. Still so scary. I could not sleep after that

[@alecschambach3847]

Lake Mungo always unsettled me and is a movie I hate to be reminded of right before bed lol

[@RedRosesDead07]

Just watched it, it was very unsettling! The concept was great!

[@DavidGowers]

I just watched this last night and it was so well made! It probably helped that I'm Aussie and it really FELT authentically like an Aussie-News kinda thing. This and The Tunnel.

[@milosmilosavljevic5577]

the only movie that made me scream😭

[@geslinam9703]

Yes! Love it. Probably one of my favorite “horror” films of the last couple decades. I don’t care for slasher films, or even monsters or zombies - I want ghost stories. Lake Mungo was very creepy, the kind of film that gets under your skin and stays with you for days.

[@Nobody18718]

Lake Mungo and session 9

[@ThePrettyTomboy]

The Poughkeepsie Tapes left me terrified for WEEKS after watching it. Same with The Strangers. Home invasion movies always leave me looking around corners and quintuple checking my locks.

[@morgiana111]

The Poughkeepsie Tapes made me so gd freaked out. It felt so dark and disturbing and wrong.

[@mayhare9754]

Weird, I'm the opposite. Home invasion movies just generally piss me off, and campy slasher films amuse me. Cosmic horror and aliens are what really get to me. It's scary, to me, to be faced with something you physically cannot understand, let alone fight back against.

[@earth.champion]

I genuinely have to remind myself from time to time that it's just a movie and not a real documentary.

[@MichaelWutsch]

I have not become desensitized to Sinister. The lawnmower scene is still brutal even on my 10th rewatch of the movie

[@chambeet]

It’s probably my pick for scariest movie ever.

[@lukaajlovanovich1606]

not scary at all

[@ryanf7441]

Yeah sinister messed me up for awhile. That scene especially

[@noodleboi5565]

the burning car scene has haunted me

[@jimmykarlsson2567]

​@@chambeetit's not the scariest movie of all time 😂. Stop it, just because of one scene??

[@Petester725]

When I watched Sinister in 2012 it truly did scare me. The lawnmower scene is probably one of the most effective jump scares of all time for me.

[@Buu420]

When I was watching that scene, I knew a scare like that was coming, but when it came, It made me jump with lots of force lmao.

[@RedSpade37]

It really is one of the best jumpscares of all time. And I think most people agree with that, even. I briefly crossed over to the Other Side when I first experienced it haha

[@societycrumbles]

It genuinely scared me back in the day, and I am really desensitized to horror. I just wish there wasn't that unnecessary jumpscare at the very end, really soured the mood.

[@bta8355]

The starting scene of Oddity was just another level of fear I didn't know I could have during a movie watch. It made me so deeply anxious. I was full of despair at the thought of being in that situation.

[@francisgonzales6274]

The title card hard cutting in while the wife reached for the keys was so sick.

[@EmillyOrr]

And that's definitely a style--it's not just pop fear, it's not just jump scares that are meaningless, because they're paced and in good places. But the main emotion I felt watching Oddity?Uncomfortable. And yes, as she said, at times very unnerved.

[@mayhit]

Yes! That opening scene was phenomenal, IMO. It was in many ways such a simple and mundane scenario, needing very little set up or explanation in order to be absolutely bone-chilling. The second part of the scene had me absolutely electrified with fear, but I'm also a little ambivalent about it, because the protagonist made a couple of blatantly stupid choices. Those choices made for a much scarier pay off to the scene, but at the cost of making the protagonist do an infuriatingly stupid thing. Still not sure how I feel about that.

[@JW-28]

I loved Oddity. It was creepy af imo.

[@Psyteth]

Loved the opening scene of Oddity... but it fell completely flat for me immediately after unfortunately.

[@EricMartin-n4h]

Grave Encounters is awesome! The moment they break through the “front door” and just find another hallway is iconic!

[@OllieYaga]

I have introduced so many people to Gonjiam because of you! It's definitely in my top five scariest list.

[@Littlegreen42]

I legit switched off 'The Fourth Kind' because the owl imagery just tapped into something and I couldn't cope with watching anymore. 'Butterfly Kisses' is a really scary one, underrated too.

[@lging34]

Midsommar disturbed me so much. I’ve never managed to watch it a second time.

[@Fit_ki_]

Same!!!

[@lging34]

@ I’m not squeamish at all. But that movie messed with me.

[@alexhika]

I saw Silent Hill in middle school waaaaaay before I got into horror movies. I was at my friend's house, I had to call my mum to come and pick me up, and my friend lived just across the street lol What did it for me was the aesthetic and the design of the "monsters". Usually I agree that it's better "not to show too much" when you are trying to scare people, but whoever designed those creatures (didn't play the games so maybe it's the game designers) deserves all the pay raises and the longest career XD Sinister is also up there on my list!

[@shanwild1096]

The original Japanese The Grudge. I don't think I'll ever be able to watch it again because I still get imagery pop up in my mind after 5-6 years. I just cannot go through that again.

[@BRATTERSTEIN]

I am a huge horror girl and Emily Rose is one of the only movies, to this day, I cannot watch and go to bed. Jennifer Carpenter is AMAZING and chilling. And, in case you don’t know, it feels real because it’s based on a real story.

[@thanos1000000fc]

That scene where she's on the floor staring at her friend who was sleeping will haunt me forever!

[@katie.g.]

Yess, the lead actress made that movie , AMAZING acting👏👏👏👏

[@fridagarcia5057]

Watching “Men” also gave me a similar feeling that you mentioned from Longlegs-dread, uncomfortable, weird.

[@mayhit]

The Descent is the horror movie that scared me the most deeply, but I think a big part of that is that I knew nothing about it going in - I didn't even know it was a horror movie. It came on tv one evening, at a time when I had a shitty box tv and like three channels, and I had no idea what it was but I decided to keep watching. The journey from social tension, to mounting claustrophobia, to suffocating fear, to electrifying monster terror, to horrifying existential despair was a wild one. Midsommar also really got under my skin, though it was honestly mostly the opening scene that fucked me up.

[@aprilthefourthbewithyou3278]

Same about Decent, I had no idea what was coming

[@itscinna5540]

I don’t think enough people talk about The Fourth Kind. I watched it over ten years ago and still haven’t rewatched it bc of how much it scared me.

[@delloliod]

LET’S GOOOO! As Stephen king once said, the scared “bone” is a lot like the funny bone, it’s different for everyone. But I’m excited to hear your take!

[@thelarisa]

We ALWAYS have the same exact taste in horror. I was born in 87, I think we have had very similar lives revolving around horror that shaped our preferences. This list is PERFECTION. Every single one.

[@robertolszanski516]

Hereditary is definitely the scariest for me. I first watched it at home alone at night and had to stop it for about half an hour partway through after a certain scene. Finally got the nerve up to finish it and had to sleep with a light on that night and the next. It took me about a year before I could bring myself to watch it again, but I did. My personal favorite horror movie. Sinister also scared the crap out of me. Going to have to check out a couple others on this list I haven't seen. Thanks for the great content!

[@special_summon]

UGH I hate you for using that frame of Gonjiam!!!! watched that one after your recommendation, that scene got under my skin so baddd loved it

[@zombiebloop]

same! i got the recommendation from her and still think about certain scenes at least once a week

[@mauricioalday6931]

The pspsps is insane

[@FunBoy77]

I lost a night of sleep the first time I saw that scene

[@LibraryMacabre]

I watched Blair Witch in the theater too, and it scared me to death! I hardly ever get scared like that during a movie. Ever. But Blair Witch got under my skin.

[@wijdanhassan1481]

Last Shift (2014) scared me to death. And ive been watching horror since Poltergeist. I was watching it on my laptop, lights off, but i had to stop it and continue in daylight. Thats how much it scared me.

[@CrimsyCreates]

I always find that the real "scary" movies are the ones that stay with you well after the movie is over. The supernatural movies tend to haunt me the longest too, notably "The Ring", "The Fourth Kind" and "Sinister" which are all great picks from your list. If I could recommend you a couple more off the top of my head, "The Night House" and "The Invisible Man" also stayed with me for a long time. It's the whole concept of being stalked by something you can't see or defend against that really gets me I think. Thanks again for yet another great video with lots of great recommendations! :)

[@obelus72]

I comfort watch The Ring a couple times a year, and I still look away during THAT one jumpscare

[@iamjackspyramidshapedhelmet]

The Ring is such a good comfort movie. The nostalgia of it and the rainy Seattle setting make it feel cozy. As for looking away from the screen, I gotta do that whenever the centipede appears 😩

[@aseygirl9295]

SAME!

[@bagandbroad]

Same! I went through a phase where I watched it every night as I was falling asleep. It’s funny, because in the theater, THAT scene plus the TV scene practically made my soul leave my body, I’d never been more afraid of a movie, then suddenly it’s my cozy movie. But it took dozens of watches get used to the closet scene.

[@obelus72]

@@bagandbroad it was the first horror movie i saw in theaters and it left me feeling on edge/ unsafe for the rest of the runtime, but also got me additcted to horror

[@BunnyQueenoftheSea]

I can't look during the tape when the nail goes through the finger 😂

[@dasain9]

I love that you gravitate so much towards found footage, as I do. Definitely the mixing up of the different formats tends to be a win. Most of the movies you listed I really enjoyed them and scared me.

[@damattice23]

I don’t know why but The Exorcist is the only movie that still leaves me on edge after I watch it. And I’ve seen it a lot. It’s the setting, the sound, the grief component, possession of a child. The most intense movie for me is High Tension, just because it is so brutal. Don’t watch that much. You have to watch Hereditary again, you pick up on more each time. Such a layered character study.

[@someoneout-there2165]

High Tension is one of my favorite movies. The sound design alone was amazing.

[@vickiemiller4108]

I agree. I am old. I grew up in the 50s when horror movies were a lot more tame than they are today. I read the exorcist book before I ever saw the movie. It is still the most frightening book I’ve ever read. The movie scared me for at least a decade. I believe it’s because, it’s the first time, I had ever encountered a story where evil over powered good.

[@bish_puddin]

You are right on with this list imo. I’d add The Taking of Deborah Logan and Terrified (not to be confused with Terrifier). I don’t even believe in ghosts, but supernatural movies scare the crap out of me. And I’ve watched so many of your videos and just realized I wasn’t subscribed so I obviously did that.🖤🖤

[@morgiana111]

Terrified was so good, I literally got it from a dollar store movie section and I freaking lovedddd it.

[@juanjbrieva5168]

If you like Japanese ghost stories, you might like The Inerasable.

[@janacabenson8503]

The Fourth Kind freaked me out for days. I had Owl paintings on my wall and I had to take them all down.

[@dumbgremlin]

stoked to hear you talk about pulse! i watched it for the first time this october and it was the only horror movie i watched that month that genuinely frightened me. some of those ghosts are straight up terrifying. great movie, highly recommend!

[@aligmal5031]

i also recommend serial experiment lane anime it was a head of its time when it comes to the internet same as pulse and metal gear solid game japan was really ahead of its time when it came to the horror of the internet and AI

[@Lilylaina]

One I don't see mentioned a lot that really spooked me is His House, such a good movie! Also The Haunting of Hill House, but specifically the hidden ghosts. I rewatched it recently, and every time I spotted one it sent a chill down my spine.

[@remidogger5472]

This is by far the movie that scared me the most and I've watched an impressive amount of them. The scene when they look at the security footage and see that doctor ghost walking around half glitchy. Hellll no

[@HauntedHeme13]

Oddity was a wonderful surprise this year. Longlegs, Oddity, Smile 2, Late Night With the Devil...such a great 2024 for Horror. I dont really get scared ever but the first Smile was the last movie that had me looking in dark corners of my apartment.

[@gentahodo2690]

The Exorcism of Emily Rose left me sleepless for years after I saw it in high school 😢 I avoid exorcism movies since. I watch everything else, I love horror, but I can't with possession. It's just beyond me.

[@SophiaLuiseMunoz]

I like your list. I’ll always like your list when you put The American Ring on it. Holy grail. JHorror is on another level. Not a fan of found footage films but Gonjiam Asylum slaps. I personally would add The Wailing, Reincarnation, Japanese One missed call, Japanese Dark Water, Thai Shutter film, and the Blackcoats Daughter.

[@magneticpitch]

"The Wailing" amazing film. i don't see it as "scary" as much as i do INTENSE and creepy, but it's one of my favorite films

[@DREADDWELLER]

Shutter is SO good, and I never see anybody talking about it anymore. One of my favourite ghost movies. The ending creeped me out so much as a teenager.

[@morgiana111]

My bf and I finally got around to the Wailing this year and I’m mad I waited so long to watch it. Great suspense, reveal, it was all 10/10

[@elphabaoftheopera]

100% agree on Sinister. It was like the second horror movie I ever saw in theaters (I was in high school and new to horror films) and most movies I watched in that era got less scary with time but that movie just sends shockwaves through me. I would also add "The Woman In Black" to my most scary list, I genuinely enjoy rewatching it (unlike Sinister) but damn it still gets me.

[@nalabrown7765]

The fourth kind definitely got me as a kid I vividly remember trying to convince my older sister it was a true story at like 9 😭😂

[@athenatangari8260]

The Fourth Kind RUINED MY LIFE for a few months (saw in theaters and had to drive home alone at night at 16 i was literally crying lmfao)

[@brennbarkis6530]

I love Midsommar, it’s literally one of my favorite movies but I’d definitely put it under disturbing rather than outright scary. Hell House LLC freaked me right out though. Honestly that entire franchise.

[@remidogger5472]

It surprises me that no one mentions The Eye in the comments. I have watched both the original and the American remake when I was a teenager and it made quite an impression. The elevator scene, man

[@stevethomas74]

Yup! Made me dread going in my elevator in my block at that time and it did the same to my friend who borrowed it! 😆

[@haileylikesmovies]

i absolutely agree with you on grave encounters!! i watched it for the first time recently and the way the characters sense of reality was being messed with was terrifying and then on top of that some really good scares, i loved it!!

[@haileylikesmovies]

oh my god and the fourth kind as well!! so many people shit on this movie but there were some scenes in there that truuuullyy were terrifying to me

[@jade_tayla]

As someone with claustrophobia The Descent and REC are the scariest for me.

[@stevethomas74]

I am deeply claustrophobic and as much as I liked the two above mentioned films (the girl getting stuck in the cave literally had me gasping for air and clutching my arm rest)., I can highly 'recommend' the much-overlooked thriller, 'Buried' starring Ryan Reynolds. Not so much a film as a 100 minute endurance test in the best/worst way possible for people like us! If you've not seen it, I guarantee you won't see anything more rattling to your phobia than that. I haven't (and quite frankly, I don't want to)😱

[@effedvd]

I recommend "Aterrados", make my blood run cold, an Argentine film directed by Demian Rugna ("Cuando acecha la maldad" a.k.a When Evil Lurks)

[@morgiana111]

YES this movie was so good and I think the way the scares are contagious in a way was super effective

[@PartyBarnacle]

Hell House LLC (the first one.) While it's not the *scariest* movie I've ever seen, and some of it was even very cliche, it still freaked me out on an entirely different level. The tension and creep factor were off the charts. I agree with The Fourth Kind. It's not standard horror but that doesn't make it any less terrifying. The scene where the woman levitates off the bed and her jaw...does what it did...terrifying.

[@MoniqueFoto]

The first time I watched Sinister I did it with the volume all the way down. The sound design creeped me out beyond belief! I saw Hereditary in the theater and sat silent for so long after it ended. I sort of regretted watching it. No other movie besides The Exorcist has affected me the way Hereditary did. I’ve never felt so sorry for a character in a movie ever then I did, and do for Peter.

[@tiffanyanne7861]

Oh yeah The Fourth Kind ruined my life. One of my favourites that I hate rewatching lol

Found footage is the scariest genre for me. Sometimes I have to watch through my fingers. My heart rate goes up the entire movie. I’m constantly getting jump scared or expecting a jump scare, even when there isn’t one. I can watch Art and Michael chop people up all day just fine, but Katie Featherston slowly walking around the house… no.

[@1012rosemusic]

That was a good list. I would add as an honorable mention "Starry Eyes". It's a hidden gem. I only saw it once and it freaked me out. I saw the movie "Sinister" in the theater. In addition to the disturbing scenes on the film, the soundtrack was creepy. Great movie!

[@maxgonzalez214]

Starry Eyes is way underrated

[@ShaneKixmiller]

OK, I’m not claustrophobic. But I do have a fear of tight spaces that I would have to crawl forward through to escape without being able to go backwards. I even have nightmares about this scenario on a regular basis. The scene in Blair witch 2016 where she crawls into the ground underneath the house and is stuck in that cramped space and crying and struggling to breathe, it just gets to me. Not to mention the lurking fear of what could be behind or in front of her in the tunnel. That scene really gets my heart racing, but it’s more claustrophobia than anything. It’s only the tight spaces that you cannot back out of. That scene plays it perfectly.

[@stevethomas74]

Well, I AM highly claustrophobic and I do agree with you on that scene. That last few minutes rendered me incapable of breathing properly it was so intense. And all I can say is, if you have a fear of tight spaces like I do (and let's be real, who in their right mind honestly WOULDN'T be freaked out to be in such a position?!), then you might want to stay well away from the much-underrated and over-looked thriller, 'Buried' starring Ryan Reynolds. I had to watch that in increments and still barely made it through the 100 minute run time. On my PC. At home. Probably the the ultimate endurance test that masquerades as a film for people like us

[@tiafielding]

About a decade ago, I was alone at my friend's summer cabin. It was perfectly sunny and lovely outside. I sat down to watch The Fourth Kind and I was so freaked out I could barely finish it. No other movie has ever scared me the same way, and trust me when I say, I watch a lot of horror and it rarely affects me in that way. Also yes, Blair Witch Project was scarier than average back when it was brand new, because the viral marketing was so effective for its time. If you didn't experience it first hand at that point in history, it's hard to understand how effective it was.

Here's movies that scared me: (these aren't necessarily good but they have good moments) Fourth Kind (2009) Rite (2011) Conjuring (2013) Mama (2013) It Follows (2014) Lights Out (2016) Smile (2022) edit: I just realized you had Fourth Kind as well! I feel like it's underrated so that made me so happy to see that someone else gets it. 😃

A really perfect list. There are three movies that scared me so much seeing them in theaters I thought about leaving: The Ring, The Fourth Kind, and embarrassingly, Silent Hill. The only one that STILL fucks me up is The Fourth Kind. Just thinking about a recent rewatch of it and my heart is racing. I’m normally such a jaded horror fan, but aggh.

Witchboard from 1986 freaked me out as a kid

[@lexiscardinale6186]

Sinister is the first movie my husband and I watched on our first date. Such a terrifying movie but it brings back a good memory lol

[@graveman18]

As always an outstanding list , as I have similar tastes in Found Footage. Thank you for sharing Sarah.

The Exorcist will most likely remain the scariest movie I've ever seen. The two-frame flash of the demon's face is enough to ensure I will not be getting to sleep easily that night. Despite not thinking they're particularly good, I think the Grudge films are actually pretty terrifying. Something about Kayako really gets to me. The opening sequence of Insidious really creeps me out, especially with the violins that kind of sound like laughter, and even the credits are pretty eerie. Unfortunately, the movie gets less scary as it goes on.

7:50 Exorcism of Emily Rose is said to be based on real events, it happened in the 70s in Germany to a girl named Anneliese Michel

[@Ron4885]

Yes! I have read about that a bit. It's a scary thought watching that, and KNOWING it really did happen. 😮

[@chemlearner88]

Hell house LLC still scares me after watching it 3x. Definitely need to watch it alone in the dark

[@samnowland4679]

The fourth kind disturbed me deeply. And it still does to a degree. Something about it just feels too real. I know it isn't, but it just really gets to me.

[@mandyb2245]

The movies that scare me are the ones about home invasions (like The Strangers) and kidnappings (like Megan is Missing) because that kind of stuff actually happens. Nothing supernatural scares me. I will admit, though, that the bedroom scene near the beginning of the first Annabelle did have me twisting my popcorn bag up in my hands, but I think that was more out of morbid excitement than fear.

[@oliverpaterson3328]

Have you watched "Ils" ("Them" in English)? It's a French-Romanian home invasion style film. I found it really good. That sort of stuff freaks me out.

[@merlinho0t]

I swear everyone I have met has either never seen The Forth Kind or thought it was stupid, but it absolutely terrified me years ago. I still think about it time to time, and I have rewatched it and think it’s still just as creepy as then.

[@robk.6591]

As a huge fan of Paranormal Investigation tv shows Gonjiam Haunted Asylum really did a great job capturing the same look and feel. The "tongue" scene was both horrifying and hilarious. I was alternating between fear and laughter during it.

[@aqualuvor95]

Sinister and Sinister 2 are a couple of my favorite horror movies. The kills are so wild, the sound is great, and the atmosphere is *chef’s kiss*

[@thistledragon6711]

‘The fourth kind’ scared me for life 😂 I already had a weird paranoid fear of alien abduction before watching it and afterward it just became way worse

[@ArchaicTear8x]

Great list! The Tunnel (2011) really surprised me. For being a smaller budget found footage film I thought it was quite scary. It made effective use of its environment to make one feel claustrophobic and uneasiness due to liminal spaces not to mention the scary AF creature.

[@hjrdiskristinakure2730]

i will never forget how scared i was the first time i watched gonjiam 😭

[@marzkell]

Right? The cutaway to the closeup of the girl mumbling with black eyes, thats my "about to fall asleep and then a scary image pops in your head" picture lol

[@gjh9299]

its not on Tubi under Horror they have new stuff I didnt check Prime yet, they took off horrible Eden Lake

[@special_summon]

literally!!! seeing that sweet girl transform into that nightmare, out of NOWHERE, was so fucked up!

[@shortinsomniac76]

Fr i was kinda bored the first half but when shit started to go down i had to close my laptop and have a break

[@mariovezic4181]

Legitimately would never be interested in watching Gonjiam if you hadn't recommended it so earnestly, and now it's one of my favorite found footage movies, so - keep sharing with newer audiences as well! ^^

[@clairebleh1756]

For well over a decade the 3:33am thing in The 4th Kind freaked me out!!

[@AshleyBrown-iu3gz]

Those snuff films in sinister were terrifying. I sae this in theaters and it was the only movie I remember having audible reactions to it and I actually closed my eyes during a part or two. I was anxious the entire time - so effective.

[@prestonlee2087]

Born and raised in Alaska! My older brother thought The Fourth Kind was real and I remember him and his friends being genuinely shocked coming home from it.

[@aknmtbr]

Born and raised in AK also!

[@valeriaolvera7885]

When I first watched gonjiam I was with my cousin in NH and mid movie the standing fan fell over. We sure did scream 🤣
