The balance between humor and actually suspense of what will happen next. It’s a beautiful movie with something really special about it. I watch it many times a YEAR! check it out. Join the scream family. It’s.. chaotic and it’s fun. It’s scream!"

allie_kallen shared a tip "I loved this one! It’s definitely a classic and a must-watch for horror movie lovers! All of the scream movies are really great and having a marathon of watching them in order makes the experience so fun! I did actually really like the new Scream movie too! A Nightmare on Elm street 1-3 I really liked! The old Poltergeist is also a fantastic classic. The whole Insidious series is a good watch too and it’s not insanely scary, but it definitely has its moments."

jaxbuchert shared a tip "Wow this movie blew me away. I was expecting it to be slow paced like Friday the 13 but I was surprised when I sat down and watched this movie without complaining about how boring this part is or about how unrealistic that part was. When the killers were revealed I thought that that was the biggest plot twist ever. Stu’s lines in the end scene crack me up every time. I recommend this movie to any horror fan who has not already seen it."

vivian_hernandez_4553 shared a tip "This is a classic. #horror"
jessica_pena_1924 shared a tip "In my opinion, the Fear Street trilogy on Netflix. It also makes you question who is behind the killings all the while there is “a slasher killer” on the loose. It’s also just has an amazing storyline."
summer_langell shared a tip "I really enjoyed this movie! The whole movie builds suspense and then you get the plot twist at the end. I only saw half of the plot twist coming. HA! It was very good."
