I’ve seen the conjuring and found it a great movie. The Blair Witch Project is one I also saw, but didn’t think it was great
Horror movies aren’t really my vibe. They are just too anxiety inducing lol.
The only one of these I’ve watched in The Blair Witch Project and I can’t believe it was made so long ago!
You don’t usually see lists of best horror films this time of year, but I guess any time is good for this type of film! I haven’t seen Blair Witch Project in a long time- I want to watch it again now that I see it on your list.
I am such a scaredy cat, but I have seen some of these. Granted, my eyes are shut much of the time.
I will forward this to the hubby as he is a fan of horror movies. I, on the other hand, am not and get scared pretty easily. I did have the nerve at one point in time to watch The Blair Witch Project. I can’t say that I enjoyed it but I lived to tell the tale to say that I saw it! LOL

That is a great round-up of horror movies on Amazon Prime. I don’t like horror movies that are too scary because they give me nightmares lol.
Sounds like a lot of great horror movies. I love horror movies. I have seen a few of these too.
Oh my. I do not think I would be able to sleep after any of these.
I am not a horror movie person at all, so I haven’t heard of most of these or seen any of them. The only one I know of, though, is Blair Witch Project but mostly because it was filmed by students at the college I went to, the University of Central Florida, a few years before I went there.
I’m not really a fan of horror, but my DiL has mentioned a few of these titles before!
Thanks for the recommendations. I am not a fan of horror movies though. However I am planning to watch counjering
i’ve honestly never seen any of these films. too scary for me, i’m afraid.
A Quiet Place was such a great movie for me. I even enjoyed A Quiet Place 2, but the first one still takes the cake for me.
I don’t watch all these movies except “The Conjuring.” This is an amazing movie full of horror. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing this list; now I’ll watch all of these.
I used to enjoy horror films when I was younger but now I’m always scared ha! The Conjuring does sound like a good story and one I can watch behind my pillow 😀
I have Amazon Prime for next-day delivery, but I really should check out some of the movies and tv shows on it! Thank you for your horror movie recommendations.
My husband is a big horror movie fan, me not so much. The only one we have seen is The Conjouring so I will have to tell him about the others,
I am sure these are all great films, but I do not watch horror films as they scare me too much, I will share this to my daughter who loves them
I do love a good horror movie. I have seen a few of these myself. A Quiet Place is really good and has a clever concept behind it. I really did enjoy watching that. Have you seen the second one yet? That’s good too!
Ilov ethe quiet place. It’s one of my favorite horror movies.
Wow! These are all really great movies to watch with the family this weekend! Thanks for sharing this with us

I am terrified of horror movies and can’t sleep for days. However, my niece lives for these movies – I’ll send her this list of what to watch on Amazon Prime – she’ll love it!
I’ve watched many of these movies. Train to Busan and A Quiet Place makes me tired as they always run but I enjoyed watching them.
Quiet Place was so good! I haven’t really seen the others except for Get Out, which was very disturbing. Good list for when you’re trying to find something to watch.
I always forget that I gave shoes that I can watch on prime. I’ll have to check out these movies.
We signed up to Amazon Prive a couple of weeks ago but didn’t get a chance to explore the catalog yet. Thanks a lot for the recos, they’re awesome.

I used to love horror films when I was younger. Now I just can’t. They mess with my head too much.
Ahhh SO many great picks! I love horror films Hereditary is definitely up there as one of my favorites. Some of these I haven’t seen so I will definitely need to check them out 😀
I am not a big fan of horror but have watched a couple of the movies on this list, including The Quiet Place (which I did like).. For some reason could not watch the Train to Busan for more than a few minutes (more gore than in quiet place,, i think)
Ooohhhh…I hadn’t watched any of these before. A Quiet Place looks exactly like the horror I want to start with! Thanks for sharing about them.
Except for the WITCH AND CONJURING, I’ve not watched the rest movies! I’ll have to watch these horror movies on Amazon Prime. Thanks for this compilation and suggestions❤️.
I love horror movies! I can’t wait to check your list out!
Not a fan of all scary movies as I’m not a fan of spirits. No spirits, I will watch. I do, however, love the movie Get Out. The twists really keep you on the edge of your seat
The only one that I have seen (from your list) is A Quiet Place. I guess I have some catching up to do!
I haven’t seen any of them. I have grown kids who will watch the genre and enjoy it.
I’ve seen A Quiet Place. My son watched The Conjuring with his cousins back in my hometown.
I have loved the horror genre since I was a kid and love when Halloween rolls around and all of the channels are playing the best of the best in terms of scary movies…. definitely looking for a few of these so thank you for sharing!

I really enjoyed watching the movie Get Out. It certainly did have an unexpected twist at the end. I’ve watched it a few times already now. It’s a very clever and well made film!!! A must watch in my opinion.
Horror and thriller movies are not my vibe. Thanks for sharing this amazing list.
I don’t like watching anything violent or bloody, but I like the paranormal. I’d love to check out a movie that is not necesserily horror; but I do love a good ghost story!
We like movies from the horror genre, and these are some really spine-chilling movies. Have watched a few of them like The Conjuring and Train To Busan, will check out the others. Sandy N Vyjay
I loved The Blair Witch Project when I was younger, I had no idea it was so old!
Conjuring is one of my favourite horror movies. Such a great list you have compiled! I used to love watching horror movies and then stopped during pregnancy. And now I am petrified!
Train to Busan was very popular when it came out and that is the only one in your list that I have watched. The others are now on my “watch later” list thanks to you 🙂
Conjuring & train to Nisan I have watched from your list.
Previously I use to watch a lot of horror movies but now lost interest.
Will try watching some of your recommendations.
