Also not a movie, but Syfy had this amazing series Channel Zero. It only lasted 4 seasons but it was genuinely scary and had some of the most disturbing imagery I’ve ever seen in a TV show.
It was an anthology series, each season took a popular creepypasta and expanded it. Season 2 was the best and season 1 was based on my all-time favorite creepypasta Candle Cove. Highly recommend if you can find it. |

PP who recommended Hill House. I actually didn’t like Bly Manor as much - I just rewatched it recently to give it a second chance. I’m also in the middle of Midnight Mass. I’ve got 3 episodes left, and I will admit that I watched it too late one night and it messed with my dreams. Still don’t like it as much as Hill House, but I am enjoying it. |
Let the Right One In. Either the Swedish or American version. Both are good. |
OP here. Thanks for all the recommendations. We watched the Conjuring and now we're pretty much committed to finishing the Conjuring "universe". We'll see if The Conjuring 2 is as good as the first. |
My mom is so terrified of Rosemary's Baby to this day. She would tell me how scary it was and I watched it in my twenties and was like meh, this isn't so scary. Then I happened to watch it after I had my first child and it scared the living crap out of me. Interesting to watch that movie after having had a baby of your own--completely terrifying. |
It’s not nearly as good, OP. But it’s still entertaining enough. |
I didn’t think that one was scary at all… just depressing. |
Agree. Not as good as the first (what is?), but still pretty good. |
Interesting -- I haven;t watched it since having a kid. I'll have to go back and watch it again. I felt meh about it too - but that was well before I was a parent |
This. Have not seen Get Out but Us still creeps me out a few years later. *shudder* |
What do the horror enthusiasts think of “the people
Under the stairs”? |
My husband loves this one. For me it was ok. |
