Psycho

The movie is undoubtedly scary with some scenes where the girl's head turns full 360 degrees, the noises she makes while being possessed and the various things the evil spirit makes the girl do.
Alien
3. Alien
This sci-fi horror movie set in the future is about a mining spaceship that lands on a distant planet. The crew of the ship then set out to explore the planet where they find a strange creature which then sticks to the mouth of one of them. The creature then makes it way to the spaceship as the crew member is carried to the ship where it lays an offspring in the most gruesome way and starts playing havoc. With an alien monster with acid for blood, and classic acting by actors like Sigourney Weaver, ‘Alien’ is an all time classic horror movie.
The Sixth Sense
4. The Sixth Sense
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan, 'The Sixth Sense' is about a boy who can communicate with dead people.

Hostel
6. Hostel
This 2005 horror movie is not about ghosts or any monsters. It is very much about human beings, and still it is one of the most horrifying movies ever made! It has been reported that some viewers at the movie theater suffered from unconsciousness and heart-related issues when they saw some of the gruesome scenes and had to be taken away to the hospital. ‘Hostel’ is about a club which promotes manslaughter and offers the chance of torturing and killing someone at a price.
