Keep a flashlight in reach if you're going to watch these horror movies in the dark.
We all know which movies are supposed to be the scariest ones, but which ones really send chills down your spine? We asked the BuzzFeed Community and y'all had a lot to say about what films scared you.
Just when we thought we rounded them all up, you sounded off with more movies that had you shook to your core.
3. Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
"Cannibal Holocaust deserves a spot on this list"
"READ THIS: if you're scanning the comments hoping to find other movies to watch, let me warn you ahead of time: DO NOT watch Cannibal Holocaust if you like animals."
5. The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007)
"Poughkeepsie Tapes scared the shit out of me for years."
"The Poughkeepsie Tapes fucked me up for a really long time. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend watching it, I love horror movies but it was just a little too real for me."
8. Dark Water (2002)

Arrow Video / Via youtube.com"Also are we not gonna talk about Dark Water? Not the American one, the original one. That movie has some disturbing, and sadly realistic, things to say about our expectations for motherhood. It remains the scariest movie I've ever seen I think."
9. I Spit On Your Grave
"I Spit On Your Grave that movie gave me the chills."
"I Spit On Your Grave is a really cool thriller about a woman who seeks revenge on her rapists."
10. The Evil Dead (1981)
New Line Cinema / Via giphy.com
"The first Evil Dead is widely regarded to horror fans as actually having been pretty well done and is the only scary-ish film out of the series. Evil Dead II, and Army of Darkness are the ones that were over-the-top masterpieces of cheese. I love all of them, and Bruce Campbell is everything."

"Where on earth is the original Evil Dead? That film fucked me up for literally years afterward and I wouldn't watch it again for all the money in the world."
12. A Serbian Film (2010)
"I was told a movie called A Serbian Film was the worst horror movie of all time so I started watching it. Truly a horrible film. Wiki it before you watch it, which I don't recommend. I turned it off about 45 min in."
"A Serbian Film was more disgusting than anything else."
"You guys forgot A Serbian Film, that movie is all kinds of fucked up, like, I don't even know how I got through it, I felt like part of my soul died because of how fucked up it is, I seriously had to fast forward through some scenes because I was going to puke."
13. The Visit (2015)
"The new film The Visit. Brilliant. Not exactly horror, but in the sense it could happen ... Hell yes."
"There's apparently three cuts of the movie, too. One that's pure horror, one that's pure comedy, and then the one that was released, which had both elements. I hope they release all three at some point. I genuinely enjoyed the movie and didn't see the twist coming."
14. Strange Circus (2005)

Sedic / Via youtube.com"Strange Circus is one of the craziest, most effed-up movies ever... tons of plot twists and an ending that will stick with you~ along with all the creepiness you've come to know and love from Japanese horror."
