Horror movies can be so much more than jump scares, and movies like The Thing and Candyman prove that mystery can only make horror better.

The 2019 released murder mystery story surrounds Harlan Thrombey, a popular crime novelist who is found dead on his 85th birthday and the duty falls on Benoit Blanc, a detective to solve the case.

Horror movies are guaranteed to give you a fright—that's kind of the point—but some will have you hiding under the covers more than others. While realistic psychological thrillers can be very eerie, sometimes paranormal movies—with their jump scares and disturbing imagery—can be even more terrifying.
