00:11Ever finish a good horror movie and can't bring yourself to get up and turn on the lights?
00:18Let alone let go of your pillow?
00:21Will you stay here until I fall asleep?
00:24No, just us, okay.
00:31Welcome to WatchMojo.com and today we count down our picks for another Top 10 Movies You Shouldn't Watch Alone.
00:38Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in.
00:47For this list, much like the first one, we'll be ranking all the films that give you the sense of
00:52helplessness and eeriness.
00:54You know, that creepy feeling you can't shake as if someone is right behind you.
00:59Daddy!
01:03Number 10, Halloween.
01:06Watch the boogeyman.
01:08Masked serial killing became a popular symbol of horror with this film, which spawned an immensely successful series of sequels.
01:21When a six-year-old boy stabs his older sister to death on a fateful Halloween night, he consequently finds
01:27himself confined to a mental institution for the next 15 years.
01:31Michael!
01:38Upon his escape, the deranged murderer hunts the streets of his hometown to stalk and kill a number of new
01:45victims with his signature kitchen knife.
01:55If you watch this one alone, be sure to keep the lights on.
01:59Suspense had a new name after this film, and its name was Michael Myers.
02:04Oh God! Help! Help me please!
02:10Number 9. The Shining
02:12How do you like it?
02:15There may be no horror greater than the one that originates in your own family.
02:20Wendy, I'm home.
02:23Jack Torrance arrives at the Overlook Hotel with his wife and son to begin his job as the hotel's caretaker.
02:30I must be losing my mind.
02:32But soon, strange happenings begin to take place within the halls of the inn, and within Jack's mind too.
02:39You didn't let me finish my sentence. I said, I'm not gonna hurt you.
02:43I'm just gonna bash your brains.
02:46Originally welcoming the solitude as a way to break his writer's block, Jack is slowly driven mad by the hotel's
02:52curse and attempts to take the lives of his own family.
02:56This classic Stanley Kubrick adaptation of Stephen King's landmark is filled with moments that have become a part of pop
03:03culture.
03:04Here's Johnny!
03:07Number 8. The Descent
03:11When trapped in an underground cave with no signs of escape, just assume you're not alone.
03:20When a group of women meet up to go on an epic caving trip, an inconvenient accident leaves them all
03:26confined to a rocky prison.
03:27The worst of it isn't evident until they discover what appear to be flesh-eating humanoid creatures down there with
03:34them.
03:38These inhabitants have adapted to life underground, and, though they can't actually see, strike without thinking, forcing the travelers to
03:46descend to their most primal instinct to survive the hellish cave.
03:53Number 7. Drag Me To Hell
03:59This movie reminds us to always be mindful of the ones we do wrong.
04:04Christine's picture-perfect life is disrupted by a desperate elderly lady who needs an extension on her home loan.
04:10Soon it will be you who comes begging to me.
04:15When Christine denies her in hopes of impressing her boss, the old woman hexes her with a curse that will
04:20torment her mercilessly before damning her to an eternity in hell.
04:25I'm scared.
04:26Sending the next three days of her life dealing with evil spirits and trying to ward off the curse for
04:31good,
04:31she faces such terrifying demonic depictions in the mortal world, we shudder to think what awaits her on the other
04:37side.
04:44Number 6. Evil Dead
04:46I don't know what is wrong with you people, but there's something dead, and it reeks.
04:53Possessions are no joke, especially when it happens to nearly everyone in your group.
04:58In this reboot of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead series, five friends gather in a cabin in the woods in order
05:03to help one of their friends through a difficult drug rehabilitation.
05:06I read a passage from that book, and it was some sort of prayer.
05:14I released something, David.
05:17Discovering a book of evil spells, they inadvertently summon a demon that begins to possess each of them one by
05:23one.
05:24The remaining non-possessed members see no other way to survive than to kill each subsequent possessed member,
05:30until only one survives.
05:33Actually, maybe it's better to watch this one by yourself.
05:36I will feast on your soul!
05:42Feast on this, mother f***er!
05:44Number 5. The Sixth Sense
05:46I see dead people.
05:49The souls of the dead sometimes have unfinished business that keeps them from passing on,
05:53and it just so happens that nine-year-old Cole is their means of passage.
05:58I don't see anything.
06:00Are you sure they're there?
06:02Child psychologist Malcolm Crowe is tasked with relieving the young boy of his frightening visits,
06:07but in the end, uncovers some very unsettling truths about his own life.
06:12They don't know they're dead.
06:13The concept of being tormented by restless souls is scary enough,
06:17but focusing on a child is the subject for such terror adds a whole other spine-tingling level.
06:23I think I might know a way to make them go away.
06:26How?
06:29Listen to them.
06:31Plus, it's an M. Night Shyamalan movie,
06:33so if you think you can handle a twist ending with no one to keep you company,
06:38that's your problem.
06:45Number 4.
06:46Hide and Seek
06:54There comes a time in a person's life when you may need a fresh start.
06:58After his wife's untimely death,
07:00this father felt a change of scene was necessary for him and his daughter, Emily.
07:10To cope with all the sudden upheaval in her life,
07:12the young Emily develops an imaginary friend named Charlie,
07:15who may not actually be so friendly.
07:18What did you do?
07:19I didn't do anything!
07:20Who did it?
07:21Who did it then?
07:22Don't say Charlie!
07:23I'm telling you!
07:25The apparition only seems to present itself to Emily,
07:28but he bears a resentment towards anyone that comes close to her.
07:32Who is Charlie?
07:33Where is he?
07:33Let's just say that if you watch this one alone,
07:36the more paranoid among us might start to question if we truly are alone.
07:41Hide and seek.
07:49Look at all these new paintings.
07:52You're really getting good.
07:54Nothing screams horror like a house haunted by evil spirits.
07:59Struggling true crime writer Ellison Oswalt thinks he's found a big break upon the discovery
08:03of an unsolved family murder case.
08:06Hoping to get closer to the answer,
08:08he moves with his family into the house of the murdered family.
08:11Ellison, we didn't move in a few houses down from a crime scene again, did we?
08:16Tracy?
08:17No, just don't say anything.
08:18If we did, I don't want to know about it.
08:20In the attic one day,
08:21he finds film reels depicting the murders of several families
08:25and soon realizes he's in way over his head.
08:32The thing that remains constant with each film
08:34is the demonic figure present in each shot,
08:38who has now sought out the Oswalt family to make sure they suffer the same fate.
08:47Number 2.
08:49Insidious.
08:50Hey.
08:53Dalton.
08:55Nothing gets in between two parents and the well-being of their child.
08:59Not even a demonic entity using him as a vessel to the real world.
09:04Dalton has inherited the ability to leave his body
09:07and travel to the realm of the undying.
09:09And the problem
09:10is that with his astral body gone,
09:12he's just left us with a physical body, an empty vessel.
09:16When he gets trapped and is unable to find his way back,
09:20evil spirits begin using his consciousness
09:22to wreak havoc on the Lambert family.
09:24But there are other entities
09:26who are malevolent
09:30and have a more insidious agenda.
09:33With supernatural scares aplenty,
09:34even dedicated horror fans will have trouble
09:37turning the lights off after watching this,
09:39especially if they watch it by themselves.
09:47Before we unveil our top pick,
09:49here are a few honorable mentions.
09:52Camilla got in touch with a medium.
09:54We learned from her
09:55that the doll was possessed
09:56by a girl named Annabelle Higgins.
09:58She had lost her parents
09:59and had taken a liking to my doll.
10:01All she wanted was to be friends.
10:19What the f*** do you want?
10:24Jane, I'm doing this to help you.
10:27Just so you know it's real.
10:40No!
10:48Number 1.
10:50The Babadook.
10:50You said this look true!
10:52How many 6-year-old boys do you know, Robbie?
10:53Who still believe in monsters?
10:54I hate you!
10:55Have you ever heard the story of the Babadook?
10:57Well, neither had this troubled single mother.
11:00And upon reading the cursed book to her son,
11:02she unleashed its hellish torment onto both their lives.
11:06What do you want?
11:08The son's overactive imagination
11:10leads the mother to initially believe the Babadook exists.
11:13And it's getting worse.
11:14He's becoming aggressive.
11:17However, she believes its incessant stalking
11:20causes the family to experience
11:21increasing psychological trauma.
11:23One cannot escape the Babadook
11:25once a person becomes aware of his existence.
11:28This is my house!
11:31The film gets its notoriety
11:33from the lack of conventional jump scares
11:34and the masterful employment of raw horror elements.
11:38Exactly the kind of movie you should watch in a big group.
11:42With the lights on
11:43and the basement door locked.
11:45If you touch my son again,
11:48I'll f***ing kill you!
11:53So, do you agree with our list?
