How fun would it be for a teen to have some friends over for a scary movie marathon! I used to love thrillers when I was a teen. Amityville horror is a classic and so is the original Carrie. Thanks for sharing this great list.
I am a huge fan of scary movies. I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. LOL I love that Poltergeist is on your list. I remember how scared I was after I first saw it, I never looked at a TV the same.
I am scared just looking at the posters. Great movie suggestions. I’ve only seen one out of all these though, so might be worth checking out.
Yep. These are great horror movies!! I think the scariest one I have seen is Blair witch. It seemed so life like.
It is crazy what they do with special effects in movies to make them so scary! These are great scary movies, I can’t wait till my kids are old enough to be able to watch them with me. Hard to believe it is Halloween and scary movie time already this year.
Poltergeist was my first scary movie ever! I still remember how scared I was every time I watched this movie! It’s still one of my favorite scary movies of all time! I can’t wait for it to come on tv so I can see it again!
I have seen a couple of these scary movie, but I am not really a scary movie person. When my best friend comes to visit I don’t usually have much of a choice. Lol. She is the only person I will watch them with. Most make my stomach turn. I can watch hauntings however with no problem.
BB watch a scary movie? #JUSOFONII No way, no how, just those descriptions and pics gave me the heebie jeebies, especially since I remember when they first came out and Babushka was very impresionable. Now My Little One LOVES scary movies- especially the thrillers, the psychological ones. I’ll share this list with her. BB2U
I love horror/creepy movies and these are great picks. I remember seeing ‘The Village’ and the twist at the end was crazy. I’d like to see ‘Mama’ too, and I never finished the ‘Purge’ because my sweetie fell asleep on it midday and I conked out too. I actually own the first and second one. Will have to look for these on Netflix.
I admit, I am a total wimp and would not be able to watch these movies. ;-P I’m sure a group of teens would be much braver than I. It’d make a great Halloween event.
I actually haven’t seen aNY of these movies! I need to catch up. When I was younger, the scary movies for us were The Exorcist, Children of the Corn, and Chucky. I think Chucky still scares me!
I am not a huge scary movie fan. I remember seeing one about girls who went cave diving and got stuck down there and were killed by these monsters in the caves. I am still traumatized.
I am NOT a scary movie fan but Oh I do remember Poltergeist! LOL My dad made me watch too many scary movies as a kid, I never got over that haha that is why I can’t watch them now.
The Amityville Horror scares me to death and the purge is so creepy! I love that these are on the list, perfect for a night in with the girls.
The Village is one of my very favorite movies. I enjoy movies that have twists or endings you never expect.
I am not a scary movie person, but my kids love them.
I am not a scary movie fan I will share yoru list with my daughters who love scary movies.
I love Poltergeist. I have seen it probably a hundred times.
I am a whimp and do not like scary movies, but I’m sure our older boys have seen these
I haven’t seen the scary movies. I’m a big fat chicken though, it’s true.
Yep, these are sure some scary choices. I think anyone would get scared on this bunch of movies.
I would love watching these crazy scariest movies on a day time, may be with my husband aside to I don’t get scared like a hell. The Amityville Horror & Mama definitely sounds pretty scary just reading your short description.
I haven’t seen any of these movies. I don’t typically watch very many scary movies. I used to enjoy the Scream movies.
These are not only a group of the best scary movies for teens, they are scary enough for me – and at the top of my scream list. I don’t know why these movies have always scared me beyond belief, seeing as I know they are not real. I clearly try not to wach any in July.
I’ve seen a few of these. I had to stop watching scary movies though, I can’t handle them!!! I end up having nightmares for weeks. I know, I’m a big wimp!
