50 Classic Scary Movies Guaranteed to Put You in the Spooky Spirit


1. 'don't Listen'

In Don’t Listen, Daniel (Rodolfo Sancho) gets more than he bargained for when he agrees to fix up a new home. After a series of tragic events, Daniel discovers a recording of a spirit pleading for help. So, he hires a famous paranormal expert to set the record straight.

2. 'paranormal'

Meet Refaat Ismail (Ahmed Amin), a hematologist who is forced to rethink his lifelong scientific convictions after he starts experiencing paranormal activities. Although Paranormal is set in 1969, the series travels back in time as Refaat faces the ghosts from his past.

3. 'his House'

His House follows Bol Majur (Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù) and his wife, Rial (Wunmi Mosaku), as they escape the violence in their home country of South Sudan. When they’re sent as refugees to a dilapidated government-owned home, they do what they can to get by unnoticed. However, after a series of supernatural events, Rial soon realizes that they might not be the only tenants in their new home. Can they endure the “witch” within the walls?
