THE STRANGERS:
Main reason I added this one to my list is because the threat is something that could possibly happen in real life. Couple people trying to come kill you just because you were home? Pretty darn creepy to me.

.
LEPRECHAUN:
One, two, three, four. Even the one in the damn hood! I’ve just always found these movies entertaining. Mainly added this one to the list because I watched some of these at a young age, along with other horror films but the leprechaun was the one that always popped up in my dreams. Especially that scene where the leprechaun cuts the pot of gold out that one guys belly…

INSIDIOUS:
A couple years ago I was experiencing Sleep Paralysis quite frequently and it was scary “AF”. This film, being based around sleep paralysis, always hits me in the feels and makes it extra chilling for me. Plus, the “tip toe through the tulips” song is a favorite of mine.

THE DEVIL’S REJECTS:
Although I think horror is a minor part of this film, I’m still gonna add it to the list. This is actually on my list of favorite movies in general. I think it such a wild story, it’s shot well. And I always find myself routing for the “bad guys” in the end. Can’t help but love them. Very excited for 3 From Hell!

THE VOICES:
This movie is great in many ways. It’s got horror, comedy, and thrill throughout. It’s about a guy with schizophrenia and his cat tells him to kill people…. need I say more?

HUSH:
I really enjoyed this one from a creative stand point. It’s a feature film, shot at one location, with little cast, and almost no dialogue! I was fully engaged throughout.

THE RITUAL:
I saw this one and was very happy with it. The thrill/mystery keep me on edge! I found it to be a chilling approach to what could have been a boring and unoriginal story.

CABIN IN THE WOODS:
I enjoyed this one because it took your typical “cabin on the woods” title and made it into a film about anything but just a plain ole cabin in the woods. Thought it was a genius idea and they took a great approach with it. Kinda wish they’d make a second one….
