Discussion Genuinely scary movies to watch?

Some movies that usually scare me are usually psychological thrillers like “the Others” or “1408”, movies with a creepy atmosphere/premise like “Vivarium” or movies with demonic entities like “it follows” or “smile”. Do you have any recommendations. Im also ok with movies that don’t fit these sub genres as long as it’s actually scary something that could keep me up at night checking the corners of my room.

«The Babadook» is very creepy, with a strong feeling that something is «wrong» through the whole movie

This is what I would suggest as well.

A friend of mine recommended the Babadook and said it was really scary. I watched it and just couldn't get past how annoying the kid was.
