One chilly winter night, I saw a woman in a black dress standing beside my bed. When I looked at her, she started cursing me, calling names at me, and telling me that she will never let me live in peace.
I had lost my mind as I was having a conversation with a ghost which I realized later. She suddenly started pulling me down my bed and started attacking me. And when I called out for help, she disappeared. It took me quite a long time to get back to normal life.

Get Out
Get Out is one of its kind movies. Imagine a movie with no ghost hauntings, no paranormal activity at all and yet being spooky and horrifying. That’s Get Out for you! This movie has received. Lots of accolades including the Academy awards (Oscars) for best writing.
Jordan Peele directs it, yes, the same guy from Key and Peele. It tells the story about a black person who visits his white girlfriend’s family only to be shocked by their absurd behavior. Just like the protagonist you will also be able to feel that absurdity in the movie and its character and by the time it reaches towards the climax it’s even more shocking and horrifying.
For a change you can give this movie a shot this Halloween. Get Out is one of the best movies to watch on Halloween (both according to the critics and me). My guess is that you will also be able to feel that absurdity and horror that million other viewers felt when they watch it.

Kids and horror- perfect combination. Right? Well after watching IT one may consider it to be a winning combination.

The Nun
There are a lot of movies in The Conjuring universe but the oldest, the saddest and the darkest chapter of them all is told in The Nun. Not to mention how horrifying The Conjuring 2 was.
