The Sitter is a 2007 made-for-television horror film that is also called While the Children Sleep. Don’t let the made for tv part fool you. This movie is full os suspense! The plot of The Sitter is much like the 2001 movie The Glass House and the 1992 movie The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. The movie stars Mariana Klaveno, Gail O’Grady, William R. Moses, Tristan Lake Leabu, Madison Davenport and Stacy Haiduk. Abby gets a job as a live-in nanny for a wealthy couple, Carter, and Meghan. However, it turns out that Abby is not your normal teenager, she is deceptive and hiding a dark secret. Geesh, make sure you interview your babysitter!
The Harvest
The Harvest is a 2013 horror thriller movie starring Samantha Morton, Michael Shannon, Natasha Calis and Charlie Tahan. When a young girl befriends her chronically ill neighbor, she soon learns a horrific family secret. This movie super creeps me out, watch this one with the lights on.
The Fog
The Fog is a 2005 horror movie that is a remake of the 1980 movie of the same name. The movie stars Tom Welling, Maggie Grace, and Selma Blair. A coastal town in Oregon trapped in an errie mist. Over 100 years ago, a ship carrying lepers and sailors was purposely diverted to the rocks, and everyone drowned. Now the ghosts are seeking vengeance on the descendants of those who led them to their death, and they are using the mist to do it.

I love watching the occasional thriller. Getting my heart racing and feeling anxious always gives me such a rush!

I remember watching The Fog when i was younger and scaring the crap out of myself. I still get creeped out when it is really foggy out.
Ok, the Harvest looks very scary. I may have to add that to my list.
