30 Horror Movies That Are So Scary, You Just Can’t Watch Them Alone
Be brave, they say. Don't be afraid, they say. Darr ke aage jeet hai, they say.
But then, sometimes getting frightened is so much fun! Nights-out are great, but fright-nights are way more epic. If you love the thrill of getting spooked, you'll agree when I say sitting around telling ghost stories, watching a horror flick with your eyes and/or ears covered, screaming at scary scenes, and then laughing it off, beats dancing to Honey Singh songs hands down!
Since Friday the 13th doesn't come every weekend, here are 26 spooky movies that make the perfect case for fright-night with your gang:
1. The Exorcist collection (US), 1973 - 2005
Most horror fans swear by the original 1973 classic. I mean, who can forget a possessed Regan McNeil walking down the stairs upside down on all fours! Though none of the sequels and prequels managed to live up to that one scene, the Exorcist franchise panning 5 of the creepiest horror movies is a must-watch tonight.

2. The Ju-On series (Japan), 1998 - 2015
If you've watched The Grudge, it's about time you watched the original Japanese version. It's a lot scarier. The idea of a haunted house with a terrible curse just never gets old, no matter how many times you watch it. The last film is slated for release this June, and we can't wait!

3. The Ringu trilogy (Japan), 1998 - 2000
So you think The Ring was the scariest thing you've ever watched? Wait till you see the original Japanese film it was inspired from. The storyline gets more and more complicated with each film, but heart attacks and screams are guaranteed! Ringu has a cult following the world over and once you watch it, you'll know why.

4. 1408 (US), 2007
Based on a short story of the same name by Stephen King, this psychological horror creates a lasting impression. Don't expect any white-faced apparitions with long black hair. But watch it for the brilliantly twisted plot woven around a forbidden hotel room that does not any visitor leave alive. This film has three alternate endings apart from the one used in the film, none of which are the same as the original ending of the short story.
Bloody RoomCom
5. A Tale Of Two Sisters (South Korea), 2003
If you thought horror movies don't have great storylines, this film will prove you wrong. This beautifully made psychological horror will keep you feeling very uneasy throughout, waiting for something ugly to happen. But the twist in the end, that unfolds it all, will haunt you for a very long time. It inspired an American remake, The Uninvited, in 2009.

6. Shutter (Thailand), 2004
Do not watch the American or the Indian remake. Shutter is arguably one of the most popular horror films ever made. It has ample scenes you'll watch with your eyes shut, and the last scene (you'll know which one I'm talking about once you watch it) will leave you scarred for life! Definitely not for the faint hearted!

7. The Conjuring (US), 2013
The worst thing one can do is tell you that a movie as frightening as this is based on true events. It just makes the whole experience of sitting through it uncomfortably real. The recreation of the ghastly things that one family went through when they moved to this haunted mansion will make you scream in horror. And for a long time, you'll be scared every time someone claps.

8. Blair Witch Project (US), 1999
The way this film has been shot makes it creepy as hell. Shot on a handycam, in a 'found footage' style, this film is way way scarier than Paranormal Activity. It will make you think twice before acting adventurous around unknown places.
