2. The Conjuring

Based on true events, a family of three begins experiencing supernatural phenomena in their home. The Nun, recently released, is a prequel to this one and is meant to explain A LOT of what happens in The Conjuring’s universe.

3. Veronica

Often rumored to be the scariest movie on Netflix to date, Veronica follows the life of a teenage girl who attempts to summon her father’s ghost on the day of an eclipse. P.S. It’s based on a true story which makes it 1000 times scarier.
