The classics that taught horror how to scare. Long before jump scares had streaming budgets, these films rewired what fear looks like on screen — dim the lights, press play, and remember why you fell for this genre in the first place.
This was so scary to me when it came out. I can watch it now and laugh.
Halloween (1978)
I still cannot watch this unless its broad daylight and I close my eyes
The Exorcist
This movie makes me so suspicious
Watch Rosemary's Baby | Prime Video
This was my first Stephen King movie, very different from the book and not Stephen's favorite but was still scary
Watch The Shining | Prime Video
Classic horror, genre defining
Suspiria 1977
The beginning of the franchise, still lives on in my head
