M (1931)

A rare 10/10 for me.

"Don't I have this cursed thing inside me? This fire, this voice, this agony?"

"And with me run the ghosts of the mothers and children"

Peter Lorre... FTW...

The Conjuring (2013)

"When the music stops, you'll see him in the mirror standing behind you."

"Want to play a game of hide and clap?"

So many good scares. Can we all just stop going into basements?
