I have a love hate relationship to those movies! I love them, but I hate that they scare me. I end up watching most through my fingers!
I absolutely HATE scary movies so I don’t think I could ever watch any of these. This is a great list for those who those who like a thriller during the Fall season.
I am to much of a chicken, lol. I haven’t seen ANY OF THESE! Maybe I will have a marathon that will scare me to pieces!
I’m such a baby and have never really watched a horror movie all the way through. lol I think I would be fine with Paranormal Activity. Ghosts don’t scare me, but blood and gore – ahhhh! :0
Halloween or not, we love watching horror movies. I haven’t seen The Curse of Chucky and The Devil Inside. I will add them to my list.
I’ve watched the Exorcism movies and they are truly scary. I love those arm positions on the tree.
Not a big fan of horror movies. I have seen the exorcist of Emily Rose and I must say it is SCARY!
I’m not big on scary movies but my husband loves them!
My older son watched Chucky a while back. That was a creepy movie. I typically don’t care for scary movies.
I would love to have a scary movie night and watch some of these movies. I can’t believe how many of them I haven’t seen yet!
I think this is a great list. I do love horror movies, but I haven’t seen any in such a long time. I need to sit down and watch some of them.
I do not do horror movies, but my girls love a scary movie. I know Paranormal Activity is one of their favorites. I will have to suggest your other picks to them.
The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a good one! I love being scared by a good horror movie and these are awesome picks.
i know i’ve seen paranormal activity, that series doesn’t scare me too much. not sure if i’m ready for the others here, but it’s worth a shot!
Hmm. I’ve only seen one of these so looks like I have some watching to do!
I am such a scaredy cat so no horror movies for me. LOL. My friend told me about Paranormal Activity and that she’s enjoying it. Yikes!
I love horror movies! I’ve never seen some of those! Can’t wait to check them out!
I absolutely love scary movies. I’ve seen most of these and am going to check out THE DEVIL INSIDE next. I’m ready to get my spook on.
How did I miss Curse of Chucky? I’ve seen all the other movies. The first one was the scariest by far!
Adding these 5 movies to my Halloween horror click list for this year! It’s hard to believe I haven’t seen any of them before!
I used to LOVE watching scary movies then somewhere down the line, as I got older, I became soft-like, I’m a friction baby, I get scared so easily and usually yell at the screen ‘don’t go in there, oh no not up the stairs… etc…’ I don’t know what happened to me?!
Your list seems scary as hell to me and there’s NO way I’m watching those… but great list for others : )
Unfortunately I am a big scary cat! I can’t watch scary movies at all. It ends up affecting me for days. I end up sleeping with the light on. lol
