Prepare to Scream: The Scariest Movies of All Time

God Told Me To

Larry Cohen was the director of this 1976 mythological whirlwind. It involves an ordinary NYPD officer who begins investigating a series of murders that seem to all have one link: a calling from God to kill. The craziest thing about all of this is that there was a serial killer on the loose at the same time who had a similar story. We're talking about David Berkowitz (the Son of Sam), for your information. 

When A Stranger Calls

Ring ring, fear is on the phone! When a creepy man spends his night tormenting a babysitter (played by Carol Kane) while she's at work, he ends up getting thrown into an asylum for the criminally insane. Years later, the man escaped the prison leaving that now-adult babysitter scared for her life. Don't watch this one if you're home alone. Or, maybe do that if you're really into getting scared.
