Horror Movie that has kept you UP!

I’ve got 2 sadly at 45 years old. Not sure why; the 1981 Howling, and the original TX Chainsaw Massacre from 1974? I remember watching that and having to go get in my truck and cruise. Not talking about a nightmare, I’m talking about something that kept yo *** up at night!
I saw this in a theater with a friend of mine when it came out. Usually, these types of movies don't bother me, but this one had me shook for a couple of days. Tried to watch it a couple of years ago and ended up turning it off.
I watched “IT” at a friends house when I was in 3rd grade. It messed me up at sunset for a couple of years.
The Program when Miss State loss to a fictional team.
Was it the loss, or the fact the DT said … you my *****, my punk *****? I mean there are State games that haunt me like a damn Banshee, but let’s stay on point lol. And nobody better say RAD lol
Not into scary movies, but Silence of Lambs was so creepy it seemed real.
I watched Croom open the 2007 season in Starkville 0-45 against LSU.
That performance was 17ing haunting.

First time I watched , The Exorcist, and Halloween.
Both brought a few chill bumps.

“Darkness” with Anna Paquin always disturbed me. “The Ring” can GTFO. And the one based in Japan with the creepy crawly girl is always good for a sleepless night.
When I was a kid Twilight Zone the movie freaked me out.
“There’s something on the wing.”

The first Paranormal Activity messed me up for a few weeks. That was a fun theater watch though- Renardo Sidney was there with a girl and he’s was losing his cool so bad.
I’ve watched it since and the effect was gone, but if you want to see a movie with a hard slow burn then check out Hereditary. Wild ending.

An oldie but goodie......"The Birds". Kept dreaming a dang black bird was sitting on my bed post all nighr waiting to peck my eyeballs out!
More modern day would be "Aliens". What a God awful creature that was.

Watched this move late one night a few years ago by myself.
Went to bed afterwards about midnight.
Woken from a deep sleep at 3 AM by loud knocks on my front door.
Me and my wife both sat up straight in the bed, I got out of bed and went to the top of the stairs and looked down and saw this light flickering downstairs.
I said to myself that I know damn well I turned off the TV - because I thought that had to be what the light was from.
About that time my wife yelled to me that a Sheriff was at our front door - she saw him from the upstairs window on our porch and his car parked out front.
I go down to the front door and there he was with a flashlight shining it around my door that has two glass panels on each side.
I opened the door and he immediately said he hadn’t meant to startle me ( you hadn’t - you scared the s#|t of me) and also asks if everything is ok inside?
I say yes and he says he was driving by and noticed my side door between my garage doors was open and anytime he sees something like that he stops and checks on the situation.
Told my wife about the movie and she still won’t watch it!
That’s a really underrated gem. It didn’t get a lot of press when it came out, and it still doesn’t get talked about all that often, but it’s easily in my Top 15 all time
The scene with one of them unexpectedly lurking in the edge of the screen, and then the “because you were home” quote are both awesome
I find it someone humorous now that it terrified me, but I distinctly remember sitting on the floor of my house and watching nightmare on elm street on HBO. This scene stuck with me hard. Scared the **** out of me:
More recently, The Mist stuck with me. I suspect mainly because of that ending
also. Pretty sure I was like 9 or 10 when I watched nightmare on elm street and I had a bunch of friends over to spend the night and watch it too. All of their parents knew and were cool with it. The 80’s were different.

The Ring by far for me. Will have to check out Darkness
Slight hijack/detour … just got back from California where we spent a few days in Yosemite. On the valley floor is a 100 year old hotel, owned by the Natl Park Service, called The Ahwahnee. The interior of the hotel that Jack Nicholson goes nuts in in “The Shining” was based on the lobby and interior of The Ahwahnee. When you walk in, you’re standing in the giant room where he spent his days sitting at his typewriter. The light fixtures, the elevators the blood came out of, everything is an exact copy. If you’re a fan of that movie, it’s a super eerie place to visit.
Seeing The Ring in the theater with surround sound made it so much more real.
This and the mannequin episode freaked me out as a kid. The original was William Shatner I believe.
Yeah the original skit is William Shatner from the tv show but they took it next level with that demon on the plane wing for the movie.
Watched in theaters in probably 9th or 10th grade with friends. They were parked at my house. Afterward, we were standing awkwardly in the street in front of my house because it was like 11pm until one said “I’m scared to go home”. Everyone stayed at my house that night
17 The Mist. I can't tell you how pissed off I was at that ending. It didn't scare me as much as it deeply affected me. Now that I have children, I will never watch it again.
The original exorcist with Linda Blair gave me nightmares for years
Auburn 3-2 game was like watching Jaws for 3 hours-
but all you saw were terrified people silently floating, waiting for the attack but never saw a dead body or the shark

The 2006 shutout opener against South Carolina wasn't much better. Then a week later we get shutout by Auburn even worse.
I can’t adequately explain how drunk and mad I was in the 4th quarter at my tailgate during that game.
The War of the Worlds (1953). Watched it with my parents as a young child. When the aliens killed the priest reciting the 23rd Psalm, my young brain thought "17, not even God can protect someone from Aliens." Had several reoccurring dreams of those tripods landing on the front lawn outside my bedroom window.
Poseidon Adventure with Gene Hackman. Not a scary movie, but I had nightmares for months of drowning inside a cruise ship in the arctic.
In high school I was casually watching a movie I rented, The Devil's Advocate. I had to turn the lights on. That was some serious psychological horror.
