Be brave, they say. Don't be afraid, they say. Darr ke aage jeet hai, they say.

But then, sometimes getting frightened is so much fun! Nights-out are great, but fright-nights are way more epic. If youlove the thrill of getting spooked, you'll agree when I say sitting around telling ghost stories, watching a horror flick withyour eyes and/or ears covered, screaming at scary scenes, and then laughing it off, beats dancing to Honey Singhsongs hands down!

How about cheap thrills with popcorn tonight? These 30 spooky movies make the perfect case for a fright-night withyour gang:

Most horror fans swear by the original 1973 classic. I mean, who can forget a possessed Regan McNeil walking downthe stairs upside down on all fours! Though none of the sequels and prequels managed to live up to that one scene, theExorcist franchise panning 5 of the creepiest horror movies is a must-watch tonight.

If you've watched The Grudge, it's about time you watched the original Japanese version. It's a lot scarier. The idea of ahaunted house with a terrible curse just never gets old, no matter how many times you watch it. The last film is slatedfor release this June, and we can't wait!

So you think The Ring was the scariest thing you've ever watched? Wait till you see the original Japanese film it wasinspired from. The storyline gets more and more complicated with each film, but heart attacks and screams areguaranteed! Ringu has a cult following the world over and once you watch it, you'll know why.

Based on a short story of the same name by Stephen King, this psychological horror creates a lasting impression. Don'texpect any white-faced apparitions with long black hair. But watch it for the brilliantly twisted plot woven around aforbidden hotel room that does not any visitor leave alive. This film has three alternate endings apart from the one usedin the film, none of which are the same as the original ending of the short story.

If you thought horror movies don't have great storylines, this film will prove you wrong. This beautifully madepsychological horror will keep you feeling very uneasy throughout, waiting for something ugly to happen. But the twistin the end, that unfolds it all, will haunt you for a very long time. It inspired an American remake, The Uninvited, in2009.

Do not watch the American or the Indian remake. Shutter is arguably one of the most popular horror films ever made. Ithas ample scenes you'll watch with your eyes shut, and the last scene (you'll know which one I'm talking about onceyou watch it) will leave you scarred for life! Definitely not for the faint hearted!

The worst thing one can do is tell you that a movie as frightening as this is based on true events.whole experience of sitting through it uncomfortably real. The recreation of the ghastly things that one family wentthrough when they moved to this haunted mansion will make you scream in horror. And for a long time, you'll be scaredevery time someone claps.

The way this film has been shot makes it creepy as hell. Shot on a handycam, in a 'found footage' style, this film is wayway scarier than Paranormal Activity. It will make you think twice before acting adventurous around unknown places.

Film critics have called it the best horror movie ever made. Stanley Kubrik's masterpiece is one hell of a ride throughhauntingly beautiful cinematography, stellar performances and sound effects that'll make you cover your ears. The slowpace of the film adds to the horror. Jack Nicholson as the writer/hotel keeper who loses his mind, screaming "Daddy'shome!" has been called one of the most iconic film scenes ever.

A pregnant woman's life turns upside down when everyone around her, including her husband, is up to somethingsinister involving her unborn child. Based on a best-selling novel by Ira Levin, this film is oddly charming.

The first one was creepy, but it's the second one that answers all the questions. Either ways, these uncomfortablyspooky flicks are just what you need to scare the living daylights out of your mind. You'll probably not want to sleepalone after this. The third chapter of this series is to release this June. First day, last show. Definitely.

Watch this one for Anthony Hopkins' unbelievable performance. It was so convincing, many thought he was actually acannibal. He had to make a public announcement that he never tasted human flesh and had no intentions of doing soin the future!

A mother's love is the most beautiful thing in the world. Not in this movie though. Also, this spookfest stars JamieLannister from Game of Thrones... in a double role!

Damien will be one name, you'll fear after watching this series. If you are a 90s kid, you'll know what I mean when I sayThe Omen is the kind of stuff childhood nightmares are made of. Remember the woman whose eyes get clawed off bythe crow?

This cult mystery-horror films explores themes like Celtic Paganism and will leave you very very uncomfortable. It wasnamed the Best Horror Film award in 1978 and the burning of the wicker man scene features in the list of 100 ScariestMovie Moments. Need I say more?

Most people went to watch this film for Daniel Radcliffe, but the film in itself turned to be surprisingly impressive. If youlike beautiful horror films with a good back story, this one is for you.

Ever wondered why some people are scared of dolls? After watching this, you too will be. A creepy old woman living allalone in her creepy mansion with her creepy dolls, is as spooky as it is entertaining.

This indie film starts off as the usual someone-gets-possessed-and-does-weird-things kinda flick, but it soon graduatesinto something completely bizarre. Thankfully it has a backstory that isn't just Satan's-trying-to-say-something.

Let me warn you here. You not only require a strong heart, but also a strong stomach to survive this excruciating gorefest. A middle aged man falls in love with a beautiful young actress. But she has a very dark secret. If you're a fan ofHostel and SAW, you're going to love this!

Every school has it's own horror stories that students just love to tell. I'm sure that's something all can associate with.That's probably what makes the Whispering Corridors (Memento Mori) series so popular. Set in a girls' school, these 5movies bring alive all those tales of horror from school days. A must watch with your gang.

There's something very beautifully nightmarish about this film. With a somewhat unusual storyline, this flick is definitelyworth a watch.

This very popular flick by Danny and Oxide Pang has many remakes that did equally well. Remember the UrmilaMatondkar starrer, Naina? Watch this if you have a nose for good old-fashioned horror.

This is one of those horror movies you can't watch alone; those which will leave you too scared to sleep alone or go tothe loo at night. Seriously, when did little schoolgirls get that frightening!

Hideo Nakata's (of Ringu fame) Dark Water is a beautiful story of a mother's ultimate sacrifice. Dark and poigfilm inspired an American remake starring Jennifer Connelly in 2005.

After The Conjuring, we just couldn't wait for Annabelle. Though it didn't quite live up to the hype, it had it's moments.Watch it again for little Annabelle running through the door, and the scene on the lift.

This film won many awards, and Nicole Kidman received a BAFTA nomination for her role. The storyline and the twistin the tale, along with the beautiful art direction makes it a great watch every single time.

You must have seen spoilt brats around, but these kids are just something else altogether. This dark movie can give thebravest of men goosebumps. No wonder it's a favorite amongst horror fans.

Once again, the fact that it's a true story makes it all the more scary. If you love getting thrills out of frightening scenes,this is one film that packs those by the dozen!

This is one movie that has a brilliant plot that comes together at the end. Dark, mysterious and spine chilling, one movie that you're surely going to suggest to your friends after watching.

Sangini KaulI dont know why everyone find "The conjuring" that scary!! It was a nice movie but not that scary. I love woman in black and the ringuseries is my favourite even though I didnt find them that much scary.
