Having been dragged through the darkest corners of man’s twisted imagination, we have finally reached the end of the road.

We have compiled a list of the best horror films to disturb their viewers. Think of it like the Oscars, but less pretentious and with more blood. Do you dare to gamble your life one last time with the final installment of Warhawk Video Graveyard?

1. The Conjuring (2013, R)

Based on a true story, The Conjuring follows real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren as they work on their most terrifying case. The film is also home to an unforgettable and terrifying game of ‘hide and clap.’ When submitted to the Motion Picture Association of America, it was given an R-rating solely for being ‘too scary.’ If this doesn’t scare you yet, wait until you meet Annabelle.

2. The Exorcist (1973, R)

Poor Reagan only wanted to have fun with her Ouija board. Little did she know she is DM’ing the ancient demon, Pazuzu. Is Reagan making this up, or is she truly in need of an exorcism? Behind the scenes, it is rumored that the set was cursed with random injuries and deaths plaguing the cast and crew. Prepare to be bombarded with enough mentally scarring visuals to make your head turn 360 degrees.

3. Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974, R)

Inspired by famous Wisconsinite Ed Gein, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre stars the hulking villain, Leatherface. Leatherface earned his notoriety for wearing masks made out of the faces of his previous victims; well that and a giant chainsaw. After stumbling upon a farmhouse, a group of friends are about to discover why Leatherface has so many masks. Everything’s bigger in Texas, even the body count.

4. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987, R)

Freddy’s back, and this time he’s brought catchphrases. Building upon the strengths of the first film, “Dream Warriors,” “A Nightmare on Elm Street 3” shows the viewer why they should be scared to fall asleep. Some truly terrifying special effects will guarantee you to have trouble closing your eyes. Pray your bed is wet from just sweat.

5. Halloween (1978, R)

What else is there to say about the granddaddy of slasher films? Although it is mistaken for being the first slasher film, Halloween put the slasher genre on the map. Building tension without ever letting go, the viewer is forced to watch in complete suspense as Michael Meyers slices his victims to ribbons. Sex, drugs and murder are the main ingredients that lead to a babysitter bloodbath. Lock up your butcher knives, it’s teenage
hunting season.
