it as the title suggests will only be

no stranger things will not be on this
list
[Music]
number ten lady in white hey what’d she
want she wants her mother lady in white
was a box-office bomb upon its release
in 1988 and it has since faded into
relative obscurity however if you want a
good spooky story starring a child
protagonist then look no further the
story follows Frankie Scarlatti a young
boy who observes a murder and is
subsequently haunted by spooky figures
he was too dark I couldn’t see his face
while the movie concerns ghosts rather
than shape-shifting alien creatures it
still shares similarities to it like its
small-town setting and the concept of
children being haunted by mysterious
forces it’s a little more childish than
it but it packs a hell of a creepy punch
[Music]
number 9 Krampus
yes Krampus takes place during Christmas
but that certainly doesn’t mean that
it’s a Christmas movie Krampus and it
share a common theme in both stories
something fun and cherish from your
childhood is warped into something
terrible and malicious just like it did
for clowns
Krampus turned Santa into a living
nightmare well technically Krampus is a
real character in folklore but you get
the idea I’m sorry I just wanted
Christmas to be like it used to be a ton
of Christmas concepts including toys and
chimneys are all made scary throughout
the movie and it serves to give an
otherwise cheerful period of the year a
demonic and terrifying edge number 8 eg
the extra-terrestrial
when Stephen King’s novel was released
readers immediately do comparisons
between it and the various works of
Steven Spielberg one of the biggest
influences was undoubtedly et which is
arguably Spielberg’s masterpiece and
most Spielberg and movie both movies
share a ton of similar themes and
concepts including childhood adventure
and friendship small-town life in the
1980s and otherworldly creatures that
the protagonist must confront and grow
to understand only in this case the
alien is friendly and doesn’t take
pleasure and ripping arms off children
it’s like it only much cuter and more
touching number 7 Fright Night while the
2011 remake was gloriously fun and gory
nothing can top the original Fright
Night follows the story of Charley
Brewster a kid who makes the horrifying
discovery that his neighbor is a vampire
the story follows a similar concept to
it as both movies feature a murderous
monster living within small-town
suburbia
[Music]
to make the similarities even more
apparent Charlie is the only one who
knows up and believes in the vampires
existence which is the same problem that
the losers club faces throughout it both
movies feature kids against the world
and both make for a great Fright Night
welcome to Fright Night number six
Nightmare on Elm Street a lot of horror
stories released in the mid-1980s and
similar concepts didn’t they we don’t
need to tell you about a Nightmare on
Elm Street as it is one of the all-time
great horror movies but we will anyway
the movie follows a group of high school
students who are hunted and killed
within their dreams by the horrific
disfigured Freddy Krueger not only do
both stories feature a monster picking
off the kids of a small town but both
feature a mostly useless adult community
okay
Jana naturally the kids are on their own
to face off against the seemingly
invincible enemy and in both movies it
makes for terrifically scary
entertainment
number five Super eight Super eight is
probably the most feel broke movie ever
made by someone other than Spielberg and
because of this it naturally draws
comparisons to Stephen King’s
masterpiece like it super 8 features a
slew of fantastic child actors who play
real characters rather than Hollywood
kids they swear they’re smart and they
share a bond that only children can
share Carey but we have to find this
thing come on
ok sorry however it wouldn’t be a
Spielberg Ian movie without a monster
and this one features an alien who is
released upon a peaceful small town like
it super 8 is a monster movie with heart
bad things happen number 4 Pet Sematary
[Music]
we had to include at least one other
King story on this list both it and Pet
Sematary are often considered to be some
of his scariest works so if you loved
the horror aspect of it then you need to
check out pet cemetery as it is
infinitely scarier and more demented
hell even King admits that he went too
far with the story the movie follows
Louise Creed whose son is killed by a
passing truck riddled with grief he
takes his son’s corpse to the titular
pet cemetery and everything goes to hell
however we’re warning you now if you
want the heart and warmth of it stay
clear number 3 The Goonies
Goonies never say die if you want a
movie that’s a bit less grim look no
further than the Goonies another
masterpiece from the mind of Steven
Spielberg while Spielberg is only
credited with the story his trademark
style is all over this movie which
follows a group of kids as they go on an
adventure to find a hidden treasure it’s
not a horror story like it but it
follows all the similar beats childhood
friendship adventure and coming-of-age
the characters are just as defined and
well acted as the ones found in it and
you’d be hard-pressed to find another
movie which so perfectly captures the
limitless feelings of childhood down
here it’s our time it’s our time down
here number 2 poltergeist this is the
perfect movie for you if you loved its
blend of unimaginable horror and
touching familial themes the movie was
written in part by you guessed it Steven
Spielberg and it chronicles The
Adventures of a suburban family after
their house becomes plagued by
malevolent ghosts
it’s just as scary as it perhaps even
more so and the movie contains similar
themes and ideas like characters facing
their fears the loss of innocent and
unexplainable horror in an otherwise
normal small town it’s an undeniable
classic of the horror genre and if
you’ve never seen it you’re doing
yourself a disservice before we unveil
our topic here are a few honorable
mentions maybe old devil’s depart may
burn in the fires of their own damnation
big sacrifice unto Him bring him the
blood of the Outlanders number one stand
by me you guys wanna go see a dead body
it’s only natural that another Stephen
King story gets the top spot even if
it’s not quite as terrifying as the rest
of his work stand by me tells the story
of four young boys who go on a rather
morbid adventure to find the corpse of a
missing child despite its rather dark
subject matter the story is full of
humanity and warmth and it’s often
considered to be a classic within the
coming of age genre no man seriously
yeah but so on everybody’s weird well it
lacks the scares of it Sam by me
features a fantastic cast of characters
while perfectly capturing the awkward
melancholic and heartbreaking transition
from the end of childhood to the
beginning of adulthood you might even
write about us guys if you ever get hard
