13 Terrifying Horror Movies You Can’t UNSEE

From deadly traps to gruesome torture and freaky-faced killers to murderer stalkers, horror movies have everything that twists our emotions around in a swirl.

My fixation with Horror movies is somewhat inseparable. Growing up in the mountains, I still remember how we were rendered with fiction stories about ghosts and evil spirits. My tiny tot friends and cousin and I would always enjoy such narratives.
