Horror movies are a real treat for some people. To others, they are just too scary to bear. That is okay though, not everyone can handle the awesomeness that horror movies have to offer. However, there have been some really epic horror movies over the years. You can’t deny that characters like Chucky and The Babadook haven’t gone down in history over the years. There are some horror movies that everyone has heard of whether they have seen it or not. Tell me you haven’t heard of Alien or Silence of the Lambs. Although they keep you on the edge of your seat, they are movies that really have a plot line different than any other type of movie.
How well would you say you know your horror movies? Would you be able to pick out a horror movie based on a single screenshot? That could be a really hard ask since a single screenshot is only a brief clip of an entire full-length feature film. So let’s put you to the ultimate test! Take our quiz and see whether you could pick out the horror movies based on a single screenshot. You might even surprise yourself.
To another realm
This movie is creepy beyond all belief. It is about a man that can jump to the realm called The Further in his sleep. What is The Further you might ask? Well it is the realm where the dead live and they are just waiting for a live spirit to come into their realm so they can jump into their body. The problem is many of these spirits are not good spirits so you can be haunted in a live body by a bad spirit.
The evil ones
The thing about this movie is that there is really nothing good that comes out of it. There is no happy ending here. A demon haunts the families that are unfortunate enough to cross its path and it gets the child it sees fit to kill the rest of their family in a horrible way. Then the child also has to film it and pass it along to the next unfortunate child to watch and try to out do. Awful stuff.
Fun and games
There's a lot to say about this movie because it became an instant classic. A little boy was gifted a doll for his birthday and the doll was somehow given the spirit of a serial killer. I'm not sure how a doll would kill anyone because it's a doll for crying out loud, but hey, he gave the family he was with a run for their money with his killer antics. In the end, the doll got away to everyone's dismay.
Splish Splash
This movie is about a blood thirsty shark that must be basically starving because we all know that sharks don't just hunt humans as their food source, and they really don't hunt humans for sport. A lot of innocent people died, and a lot of people trying to help the innocent people died as well. But this larger than life shark didn't really seem to care—he just kept terrorizing everyone and anything that came anyone near him. It was bad news.
A not so child friendly book
This movie is about a sinister spirit that tries to infiltrate your life through the means of a child's story. He will tell you exactly what is going to happen, then he will slowly make what is in the book come true right before your very eyes like a nightmare you just can't wake up from. No one is safe especially not your children. He has no mercy for anyone and will stop at nothing to take over your family.
Trick or treat
