If haunted houses and supernatural chills were your favourite parts of ‘The Conjuring’, ‘Insidious’ is a must-watch. Directed by James Wan, the series explores astral projection, where souls wander into a terrifying realm known as ‘The Further’.
Following the Lambert family as they face sinister forces, ‘Insidious’ blends jump scares with an atmosphere that lingers long after the credits. With multiple sequels and prequels, the franchise proves that sometimes the scariest threats exist just beyond our world.
Few films have left a mark on horror like ‘The Exorcist’. Released in 1973, it shocked audiences with its story of a young girl possessed by a demon and the priests risking everything to save her. The original film remains one of the most frightening ever made, while sequels, prequels, and a recent reboot continue to explore the battle between good and evil.

Starting as a low-budget found-footage experiment, ‘Paranormal Activity’ grew into a global horror phenomenon. Using grainy security footage and handheld cameras, the series places viewers inside haunted homes where every creak and shadow feels real. Following a family curse tied to demonic forces, each sequel intensifies the suspense, proving subtle, realistic scares can be just as terrifying as grand supernatural threats.

Based on the real-life haunted house in New York, ‘The Amityville Horror’ is a horror staple. The original 1979 film told of a family tormented by sinister forces in their new home. Its success sparked sequels, prequels, and remakes, cementing the franchise’s place in horror history. While the quality of the films varies, the name ‘Amityville’ remains synonymous with cursed houses and family terror.
“They’re here…” These words from the 1982 classic ‘Poltergeist’ solidified its place in horror lore. Produced by Steven Spielberg, the film follows a suburban family whose home is plagued by supernatural activity, including ghostly apparitions, possessed televisions, and a child drawn into another dimension.
The success of the first movie led to sequels, a remake, and endless pop-culture references. Decades later, it remains a chilling reminder that evil can hide in even the most ordinary homes.
Whether you prefer jump scares, subtle hauntings, or cursed households, these franchises promise nights filled with suspense and terror for fans mourning the end of ‘The Conjuring’.
