If there's one name that carries a lot of weight in the horror movie industry, it's Jason Blum.

The founder and CEO of horror hit factory Blumhouse Productions, Blum has been responsible for more than [$6 billion in global box office earnings](https://www.the-numbers.com/movies/production-company/Blumhouse) over the past two decades. After producing a handful of non-horror movies in the early aughts, Blum put his company on the map by acquiring a low-budget indie titled _Paranormal Activity_ after it screened at 2007's Screamfest Horror Film Festival. The rest is history, with the record-breaking success of the found-footage flick giving way to Blumhouse's now tried-and-true business model: ceding full creative control to directors to make a movie on a budget of around $5 million and then widely releasing the finished product through the studio system.

This approach has resulted in films of varying degrees of quality, ranging from Jordan Peele's Academy Award-winning [_Get Out_](https://time.com/4680563/get-out-movie-review/) to some truly suspect flops (remember _Ouija_ and _Truth or Dare_?). But whether or not a movie is "good" doesn't really matter. If it's released under the Blumhouse banner, it has a fighting chance of lighting up the box office. 

Following the disappointing debut of _Night Swim_ in January, the production company's latest title, _Imaginary_—a PG-13 cautionary tale about a haunted teddy bear—hits theaters March 8\. In honor of its release, here's a ranking of the 25 best Blumhouse horror movies to come before it.

## 25\. _Split_ (2017)

James McAvoy unnerves as a man suffering from a severe case of dissociative identity disorder who abducts three teen girls (Anya Taylor-Joy, Haley Lu Richardson, and Jessica Sula) and holds them captive in a windowless bunker in this controversial M. Night Shyamalan joint. _Split_ came under fire for its depiction of mental illness and (spoiler alert) exploiting the trauma of childhood sexual abuse, but got a boost from McAvoy's ability to seamlessly transition between his character's 24 distinct personalities and the last-minute reveal that its story was connected to Shyamalan fan-favorite _Unbreakable_. A subsequent crossover film, 2019's _Glass_, turned out to be an underwhelming followup. 

_Stream it on_ [_Netflix_](https://www.netflix.com/title/80124506?source=35) _or_ [_Amazon_](https://amzn.to/4dVQfND)_._

## 24\. _Insidious: The Red Door_ (2023)


Following some less than stellar entries in the franchise, [_Insidious: The Red Door_](https://time.com/6292994/insidious-red-door-ending-explained/) was somewhat of a return to form for the supernatural saga. Directed by star Patrick Wilson in his feature debut, the series' fifth installment is a direct sequel to the first two movies and offers a fitting end to the story of the Lambert family. Set nine years after the events of 2013's _Insidious: Chapter 2_, the movie sees a now distant father-son duo Josh (Wilson) and Dalton (Ty Simpkins) confront the repressed demons of their past.

_Stream it on_ [_Netflix_](https://www.netflix.com/title/81691510?source=35) _or_ [_Amazon_](https://amzn.to/3Ko8HRu)_._

## 23\. _Ma_ (2019)

The memeworthy [_Ma_ has taken on a life of its own](https://www.avclub.com/octavia-spencer-now-exploring-the-strange-and-wonderful-1841862393) on social media, but it's also absurdly entertaining enough to stand alone as a campy psychological thriller. Starring Oscar winner Octavia Spencer as a lonely, middle-aged woman named Sue Ann who befriends a group of high schoolers and invites them to party in her basement—only to turn the tables on the teens as her true motives begin to come to light—director Tate Taylor's horror debut is a darkly funny (if somewhat flat) revenge story.


_Stream it on_ [_Amazon_](https://amzn.to/4aGfIrp)_._

## 22\. _SICK_ (2023)

_Scream_ writer Kevin Williamson cleverly plays on the real-world fears surrounding a century-defining global health crisis in this COVID-era slasher. Set in April 2020 during the early days of the pandemic, _SICK_ centers on a pair of college friends (Gideon Adlon and Bethlehem Million) who are preyed upon by a mysterious masked killer while quarantining together at a remote lake house. As Williamson told [SyFy Wire](https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/sick-twist-ending-kevin-williamson-peacock-blumhouse-spoiler-interview), "Watch this movie and let it work as a release valve and make you breathe a little fuller."

_Stream it on_ [_Amazon_](https://amzn.to/4bXxO9f)_._

## 21\. _Unfriended_ (2015)


Tapping into rising fears over the dark side of social media, the entirety of _Unfriended_ takes place on a single computer screen. Shot from the first-person perspective of teenage Blaire (Shelley Hennig) as she navigates between open windows on her laptop while video chatting with five friends on the anniversary of the night one of their classmates killed herself, director Levan Gabriadze's online revenge thriller is a glorified—and gory—anti-cyberbullying PSA.

_Stream it on_ [_Amazon_](https://amzn.to/458bQyq)_._

## 20\. _Oculus_ (2014)

Before he became [Netflix's go-to horror anthology creator](https://time.com/6322568/fall-of-the-house-of-usher-mike-flanagan-netflix-series-ranked/), Mike Flanagan had already established himself as one of the genre’s preeminent voices with a spate of memorable scary movie offerings. In _Oculus_, Flanagan took his first stab at telling parallel stories in the past and present—a narrative device that has become one of his signature calling cards—for a grim tale about a cursed mirror that haunts multiple generations of one unlucky family.


_Stream it on_ [_Amazon_](https://amzn.to/4570kU0) _or_ [_Apple TV_](https://fave.co/4aI5K93)_._

## 19\. _The Visit_ (2015)

Another found-footage offering, _The Visit_ documents the week that teenage siblings Becca (Olivia DeJonge) and Tyler (Ed Oxenbould) spend at the home of their estranged grandparents (Deanna Dunagan and Peter McRobbie), whom they've never met before. That might not sound that scary, but as is true for every M. Night Shyamalan movie, there's a twist!

_Stream it on_ [_Max_](https://fave.co/3KuvhaR) _or_ [_Hulu_](https://fave.co/3KkuklH)_._

## 18\. _Happy Death Day_ (2017)


A college student (Jessica Rothe) must relive the day of her death over and over again as she attempts to figure out the identity of her masked killer in this black comedy slasher. Writer-director Christopher Landon's murderous take on the _Groundhog Day_ concept earned praise from critics for playfully straddling the lines between comedy, horror, and romance for a delightful genre mashup.

_Stream it on_ [_Amazon_](https://amzn.to/3x7nSeB)_._ 

## 17\. _Totally Killer_ (2023)

After her mother (Julie Bowen) is murdered by the infamous Sweet Sixteen Killer, 17-year-old Jamie (Kieran Shipka) travels back in time to 1987 to team up with the teen version of her mom (Olivia Holt) and thwart the killer's original murder spree—thus saving her mom in the present. Director Nahnatchka Khan weaves slasher tropes into a _Back to the Future_\-esque premise for a blast of a horror comedy with a decent twist.


_Stream it on_ [_Amazon_](https://amzn.to/3R8BBZo)_._

## 16\. _Ouija: Origin of Evil_ (2016)

The original _Ouija_ may have been a boring, sluggishly-paced bust, but with Mike Flanagan at the helm of its prequel, the franchise got a new lease on life. Set nearly 50 years before the events of its predecessor, _Origin of Evil_ centers on a widowed mother (Elizabeth Reaser) who unwittingly unleashes a sinister evil on her family when she brings home a Ouija board to reinvigorate her fraudulent medium business. 

Stream it on [Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/title/80106763?source=35) or [Apple TV](https://fave.co/4bBW3Kz).

## 15\. _Freaky_ (2020)


This time around, writer-director Christopher Landon lends his signature slasher flourish to a _Freaky Friday_\-inspired story. Featuring pitch-perfect performances from leads Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton, horror comedy _Freaky_ sees high school senior Millie Kessler fighting to regain her life after accidentally switching bodies with an infamous serial killer known as the Butcher.

_Stream it on_ [_Apple TV_](https://fave.co/3WY0iM1) or [_Peacock_](https://fave.co/3VkuAr1).

## 14\. _Hush_ (2016)

A deaf-mute writer living alone in the middle of the woods finds herself in a fight for her life when a psychotic masked killer shows up at her secluded home to torment her. Co-written by and starring writer-director Mike Flanagan’s wife, Kate Siegel, _Hush_ deconstructs genre tropes for a deadly game of cat and mouse that puts a fresh spin on the home-invasion thriller format. 


_Stream it on_ [_Amazon_](https://amzn.to/3wV1ftW)_._

## 13\. _The Black Phone_ (2022)

In his most recent horror outing, Blumhouse favorite Ethan Hawke tackles the role of the Grabber, a serial child abductor and killer terrorizing a Denver suburb. Based on Joe Hill's 2004 short story of the same name, director Scott Derrickson's _The Black Phone_ traps viewers in a soundproof basement alongside Finney Shaw (Mason Thames), a 13-year-old boy at the mercy of a sadistic kidnapper who discovers he can contact the spirits of the Grabber's previous victims through a disconnected phone mounted to the wall. 

_Stream it on_ [_Amazon_](https://amzn.to/4bUJ1HC)_._

## 12\. _Paranormal Activity_ (2009)


The one that started it all. Initially made for just $15,000 by director Oren Peli, _Paranormal_ _Activity_ ushered in the modern era of found-footage horror flicks and—with the [help of Steven Spielberg](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2009-sep-20-ca-paranormal20-story.html)—launched a franchise that's now worth [nearly $1 billion](https://www.the-numbers.com/movies/franchise/Paranormal-Activity#tab=summary). Shot as if a couple is recording themselves (and the demonic presence terrorizing them) on a video camera set up in their bedroom, the haunted house hit instilled a renewed fear of things that go bump in the night in theater audiences that often found themselves shrieking in terror at the movie's many jump scares. 

_Stream it on_ [_Max_](https://fave.co/4e1FCZs) _or_ [_Hulu_](https://fave.co/4e5deFO)_._

## 11\. _The Purge_ (2013)


What would happen if for one night of the year all crime was legal in the U.S.? _The Purge_ poses this hypothetical question—and posits the answer would reveal some ugly truths about American society. Kickstarting a franchise that has grossed more than half a billion dollars over five low-budget box office hits, the first chapter in creator James DeMonaco's _Purge_ saga largely plays out inside the fortified Los Angeles mansion of James Sandin (Ethan Hawke)—a businessman who's made his money running a company that manufactures home security systems—his wife Mary (Lena Headey), and their two kids. When a bloodied stranger shows up begging for help on the night of the annual crime spree, the family is forced to confront the violence taking place outside—and decide what kind of people they really are. 


_Stream it on_ [_Amazon_](https://amzn.to/3V50MNL)_._

## 10\. _Creep_ (2015)

A #HorrorTok favorite, the premise of found-footage feature _Creep_ is simple: a bizarre Craigslist encounter turns into a waking nightmare for a struggling videographer named Aaron (Patrick Brice) who responds to an ad for a $1,000 filming gig. After driving out to a secluded cabin in the San Bernardino Mountains, Aaron finds himself at the mercy of Josef (Mark Duplass), an eccentric—and increasingly erratic—client who says he wants to record a video diary of sorts for his unborn child before he dies of an inoperable brain tumor. Unfortunately for Aaron, Josef's true intentions are much darker. 


_Stream it on_ [_Netflix_](https://www.netflix.com/title/70306646)_._

## 9\. _The Purge: Anarchy_ (2014)

Rather than confining his second _Purg_e film to the inside of one home, franchise creator James DeMonaco opens his dystopian world up to the Greater Los Angeles area in a sequel that improves on the conceit of its predecessor. In the vein of survival thrillers like _The Warriors_ and _Escape From New York_, _Anarchy_ follows a group of ordinary people—led by Frank Grillo's grizzled Leo Barnes, a man on a mission to avenge the death of his son—who are stranded outside as the city streets transform into a chaos-fueled hunting ground on Purge night. 

_Stream it on_ [_Amazon_](https://amzn.to/4bHOCSe)_._


## 8\. _Sinister_ (2012)

When struggling true-crime writer Ellison Oswalt (Ethan Hawke) moves his unwitting family into a home where the previous occupants were gruesomely murdered in order to research his next book, he soon learns he may have gotten himself wrapped up in something much more menacing. Inspired by a [nightmare that co-writer C. Robert Cargill had about the cursed videotape](https://www.slashfilm.com/926727/the-idea-behind-sinisters-story-started-with-a-viewing-of-the-ring/) from 2002's _The Ring_, _Sinister_ draws on pagan mythology and grisly home movies for a truly unnerving viewing experience.

_Stream it on_ [_Max_](https://fave.co/3V3KN2r) _or_ [_Hulu_](https://fave.co/3wXQs24)_._

## 7\. _Creep 2_ (2017)


Horror sequels don’t always work. But when they do, the results can be more harrowing than ever. Mark Duplass reprises his role as a psychotic serial killer, now going by the name Aaron, for a boundary-pushing follow-up to _Creep_ that leans even further into all the elements that made the first one such a subversive horror success. 

_Stream it on_ [_Netflix_](https://www.netflix.com/title/80168161?source=35)_._

## 6\. _Halloween_ (2018)

The first film in director and co-writer David Gordon Green's _Halloween_ reboot trilogy earned one of the [highest horror movie openings](https://time.com/5430916/jamie-lee-curtis-halloween-box-office/) of all time thanks to scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis making her long-awaited return to the role of Laurie Strode. Set 40 years after John Carpenter's seminal 1978 classic, 2018's _Halloween_ ignores all previous sequels for a direct follow-up to the original that sees Michael Myers (Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney) return to Haddonfield to embark on a new killing spree. Just don't expect to get the same nostalgic thrill ride out of Green's second and third entries, _Halloween Kills_ and _Halloween Ends_.


_Stream it on_ [_Amazon_](https://amzn.to/4dVTqVz)_._

## 5\. _Us_ (2019)

Jordan Peele's follow-up to his acclaimed 2017 smash _Get Out_ was a doppelgänger thriller that served as an allegory for systemic oppression in America. Featuring a standout performance from Lupita Nyong’o as both Adelaide and her double, Red, _Us_ brilliantly underpins a bloody home-invasion thriller with a message about how society can, [according to Peele](https://www.avclub.com/jordan-peele-explains-how-privilege-influenced-us-in-an-1835225625), "do a good job of ignoring the ramifications of privilege." 

_Stream on_ [_Amazon_](https://amzn.to/4c1gtfE)_._

## 4\. _Insidious_ (2011)


What horror fan doesn't remember the first time they saw the now-infamous shot of the red-faced demon appearing behind Patrick Wilson's Josh Lambert in the original _Insidious_? Directed by James Wan and written by Leigh Whannell (the creative duo behind _Saw_) the first installment in the $750 million-_Insidious_ franchise opened the door to the Further, a shadowy dimension between heaven and hell occupied by evil spirits, malevolent entities, and possessive demons. The way in (and out) hasn't been fully sealed shut since.

## 3\. _M3GAN_ (2023)

Thanks to a savvy marketing campaign that turned its titular killer doll into an enduring internet icon, [_M3GAN_ had a lot to live up to](https://time.com/6244885/allison-williams-interview-m3gan/) when it hit theaters in early 2023\. Luckily, director Gerald Johnstone's delightfully deranged horror comedy—which follows workaholic roboticist Gemma (Allison Williams) as she tests out her latest pet project, yassified companion doll M3GAN, on her 8-year-old niece Cady (Violet McGraw)—delivered on all fronts, earning a reputation as an instant cult classic and scoring a sequel announcement mere weeks after its release.

## 2\. _The Invisible Man_ (2020)

A modern reimagining of H.G. Wells' classic 1897 novel, _The Invisible Man_ stars [Elisabeth Moss](https://time.com/5568325/elisabeth-moss-her-smell-review/) as Cecilia Kass, a woman who begins to suspect her abusive tech mogul ex didn’t actually commit suicide, but instead found a way to disappear in order to continue to physically and emotionally torment her. In an interview with [TIME](https://time.com/5792835/the-invisible-man-domestic-abuse/), writer-director Leigh Whannell spoke about how he based his adaptation of the thriller on real-life stories of abuse, with a specific focus on its psychological toll on victims. "In movies and TV shows, we’ve seen physical violence depicted many times before," he said. "But I felt I had not seen the emotional abuse and manipulation as much."

## 1\. _Get Out_ (2017)

Jordan Peele's masterful directorial debut needs no introduction. Following a young Black photographer (Daniel Kaluuya) who spends a more-than-harrowing weekend at his white girlfriend’s (Allison Williams) family home—a storyline that Peele has said reflected his experiences as a Black man in white spaces—the Oscar-winning _Get Out_ established the comedian-turned-filmmaker as a horror auteur. In the years since _Get Out_'s $255 million-release, Peele has continued to revolutionize the genre with films like _Us_ (2019) and _Nope_ (2022).
