9 Scary Movies You're Too Pussy To Watch By Yourself This Halloween

1. Session 9

Some of the films on this list like to revel in gore, whether it be to prove some vague point about society or simply as a way to pass the time. And some of those movies can be great (if a little hard to endure for 90 minutes). But those types of horror movies can't come close to being as unsettling as Session 9. A group of men tasked with removing asbestos from a mental hospital discover a collection of audio tapes from the therapy sessions of a former patient. Very bad things happen thereafter.

That's pretty much all you need to know about the plot. There are scenes in Session 9 that make The Shining seem as affecting as Ernest Goes to Camp. Psychological horror is the kind that grows from the pit of your stomach and creeps its way into your brain long after you've finished the movie. And Session 9 does it better than any scary film in recent history. Allow yourself to really sink into this one and you'll find yourself locking every last door and window to your home before bedtime.

This might not be the hardest movie to finish, but it will be the toughest one to let go of.
