• The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: If you're into something that's been scaring folks since the '70s with its raw, gritty terror.
  
  
• The Exorcist: A classic that still makes people wonder if they should skip the pea soup for dinner. It's not just scary; it's a cultural phenomenon with a touch of theological debate thrown in for good measure.
  
  
• Psycho: Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece that redefined what a horror movie could be. It's less about gore and more about the psychological thrills, with that infamous showers scene that changed cinema forever.
• Alien: If you fancy your horror with a side of sci-fi, this Ridley Scott classic delivers monster scares in space, where no one can hear you scream... or make a witty comeback.
  
  
• Talk to Me: A more modern entry that spins a chilling tale built on the foundations of classic horror. It's like if your Ouija board session went horribly wrong but was filmed beautifully.
  
  
• Terrifier 3: For those who love their horror with a generous helping of gore and a side of sadistic clown, this one's been making waves in 2024.
