Friday the 13th Horror Movie Recommendations

Hello, hello!

Happy Friday the 13th to all who celebrate!

As a horror fan, my plan for today is to watch as many horror movies as possible and so, in the spirit of sharing, here are 10 horror movie recommendations for you should you also want to watch one or a few of them! :)

Let's get started!

1. Talk to Me: Some high school kids find a mysterious embalmed hand that can summon spirits and decide to use it as some kind of a game. If you hold the hand, a spirit possesses you and it is safe to stay possessed for 90 seconds. But then things go wrong, as they do...

2. Raaz: A Hindi classic. Heavily inspired by What Lies Beneath but still quite scary and good!

3. The Exorcist (1973): Truly a classic of the genre. A little girl is possessed and her mother, a priest and family friends band together to save her.

4. The Conjuring: Based on a real case undertaken by Ed and Lorraine Warren, The Conjuring is a seriously spooky movie about a family's home being haunted by more than one entity.

5. The Craft: Highschool girls doing witchcraft and shenanigans ensue! A cult classic and definitely worth a watch!

6. Silence of the Lambs: Not a classic horror movie but so scary that even reading the eponymous book gave me nightmares! If you're in the mood for a crime thriller that is also downright scary, then this is the movie for you!

7. Hush: A hearing impaired woman lives alone in a home in the woods. One night, a creepy man decides to attack and kill her. This is an edge-of-your-seat thriller! Watch it!

8. Friday the 13th (1980): The OG that invented the summer camp slasher trope! Watch it if you haven't already!

9. Unfriended: When technology meets the spirit world and you simply can't unfriend a creepy person you don't want to be friends with!

10. The Invitation: An orphaned girl finds long-lost cousins in the UK and is invited to a manor home for a wedding. But is it too good to be true when the hot and rich owner of the mansion takes a romantic interest in her? Watch and find out! :)

Enjoy!
