We're Not Messing Around—These are the Best Scary Movies Ever

The Lords of Salem 

The Salem Witch Trials might have been unfounded, but the revenge is very real in this 2012 film. A drug addict in recovery gets saved by a group of individuals who died in the witch trials themselves. It is unclear whether the protagonist is alive or dead throughout the course of the movie, but the heartfelt moments and genuinely beautiful cinematography help hold the whole thing together.  

Deep Red

In 1975, Dario Argento directed this famous film. This classic case of whodunit comes with a lot of romantic tension between a local Roman musician (David Hemmings) and an investigative journalist (Dario Nicoldi). This movie is scary in a way that it will make you reconsider how you've thought about the minds of artists. True sickness remains hidden.
