The Fly (1958)
Terrible things tend to happen in horror movies when it involves science. In The Fly, a scientist ends up exposing himself to fly DNA while working on a teleportation device. His slow descent and mutation into a terrifying creature have also led to several remakes and sequels in this beloved classic.
The Conjuring (2013)

Meg 2: The Trench (2023)
Giant sharks aren’t the only danger lurking deep within the ocean. When Jonas Taylor returns to the ocean to put an end to the menace of giant sharks, he finds himself up against human enemies, too. A mining operation with ill intentions only makes matters worse.
Scream (1996)
See the slasher film that kickstarted horror movies in the 1990s. When a group of friends starts dying one by one, a teenage girl fights to survive their dastardly use of scary movies as a game of murder.
The Shining (1980)
