The Exorcist and Conjuring. I watched the former one when I was a kid, so it gave me many sleepless nights.

It by Stephen King has come closest to scaring me, the book more so than the movie. I thought movies like Paranormal Activity, Nightmare on Elm Street, and the Conjuring were cool rather than scary when I was younger, and I was pretty disappointed by the movie The Exorcist because I was told it was one of the scariest movies of all time but I was bored by it. Horror is one of my favorite genres, so I’ll have to check out some of the movies and books others have mentioned.

No book can frighten me as much as stones on a chessboard. Why do people not pay attention to such conspiracies? :(

When I was a kid, my mom made us watch the series about Jesus. It was the 70s version one. And I kid you not, I used to have nightmares about Jesus. That music they played was also very traumatizing. I never told my mom about it until recently. Although my older brother was scared and left, I continued watching almost as if my curiosity got the best of me.

The original Evil Dead was scary because I watched it when I was very young. Then, I discovered Stephen King's horror books. IT was truly scary and I refuse to think of the evil Clown even now.

The movie orphan scared the life out of me. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and the revelation of the true horror is just breathtaking.

‘It‘ by Stephen Kings. It's hilarious that I covered my left eye most of the time watching this movie because of fright.

Indeed, the human centipede was disturbing. I could not eat any food after watching that movie. That is the magnitude of disturbance we are talking about :(

I watched Annabelle when I was younger and till this day I am still affected. I didn't even finish the whole movie I had a jump scare and fell on the floor and hit my head. But what I watched and experience was enough to never play with dolls again
