Netflix… and no chill? 7 teen flicks to scare the BEJAYSUS out of you

Oct 25, 2016

There came a time in most of our childhoods when we decided we were far too schlick to dress in a bin liner and roam our estate for hours on end.

But without a fake ID to hand, it wasn't like we were going to join the more mature revellers down the local, so much of our teenage Halloweens were spent scaring the bejaysus out of ourselves with classic teen slasher movies.

Let's face it, if ever there was a time of the year when we were likely to get our hands on an 18-rating, it was All Hallow's Eve.

And frankly, the idea of recreating a night hiding behind the couch is really appealing to us right now, so we scoured Netflix for some classics and were not disappointed.

1. Friday the 13th: Part 4: The Final Chapter

Making his way back to his old stomping ground, good ol' Jason Voorhies – AKA the man who refuses to die – decides to unleash hell on Camp Crystal.

Nothing stops this lad.

2. Jeepers Creepers

When a brother and sister begin the journey home for the holidays, they have no idea their road trip is about to take one of most sinister turns you can imagine.

Why did they stop the car? Why?!

3. Carrie

This 1976 horror tells the story of a sheltered teenage girl who gets her revenge on high school bullies in the most terrifying way possible.

If ever there was a better lesson in the merits of being kind to your classmates…

4. Battle Royale

Set in the future, the Japanese government capture a class of ninth-graders and force them to kill each other under the revolutionary "Battle Royale" act.

And we're already reaching for the cushion…
