40 Best Horror Movies for Totally Freaking Yourself Out (Bestlife)

"Why is it so satisfying to watch a horror movie and have the wits scared out of us? If the best movies are lovely escapist fantasies, then the best horror movies are the fantasies we absolutely never want to happen in a million years. They're the opposite of an action flick or a romantic comedy. We're not living vicariously through these characters—we're just relieved nothing on screen resembles the real world. At least we hope it doesn't. And yet, there are few things as enjoyable as sitting in a dark room or movie theater and watching our nightmares played out for us. Researchers believe that many of us just enjoy being unhappy, especially when it's in manageable ways like horror movies. (The unhappiness ends when you leave the theater.) Here are 40 movies, both classics you probably remember and newer films you may not have checked out yet, that are guaranteed to scare the bejesus out of you and leave you sleeping with the lights on for the next month." - bestlifeonline.com
