The movies that actually scared me as a kid were Child's Play and Candyman. The originals.
Hardly any sequel movies were good in the entire history of film-making IMO.
I simply don't watch sequels. And neither should you. Then they will finally stop making them.
Best modern horror: Sinister, Oculus, and The Babadook. Those are the relatively recent ones I liked.
Older movies: The Thing I have to agree is amazing:
