8. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre could be described as a gore-fest rather than a creepy movie, but that wouldn’t do it justice.

Released in 1974, this movie actually got banned in several countries because it was deemed so disgusting. Now, however, it is available to view for anyone who can stand it.

It’s certainly not one for the squeamish, but if you can deal with the sight of blood without fainting, then you might get a thrill out of this terrifying but highly entertaining horror flick.

The story starts out innocently enough with a group of teenagers driving across America that decide to stop and pick up a hitchhiker. Things soon turn sour when the hitchhike produces a razor and proceeds to slash himself and a member of the group.

In order to generate buzz for the movie, the marketing team promoted it as a true story. This piqued the audiences’ interest, but soon sent them running from movie theatres in horror after witnessing the more brutal scenes.
