15) The Woman in Room 5 (1408, 2007)

The Woman in Room 5 is horrifying because she appears suddenly and without warning, breaking the thin layer of safety the character feels. Her discolored skin and hollow eyes make her look drained of life, but it’s the way she stares without blinking that sticks with you. The scariest moment happens when she appears behind Mike in the mirror, and he realizes she’s not a reflection—she’s really there. Her slow, deliberate movements make the tension unbearable. Alexandra Silber played the ghost, and her stiff, unnatural posture adds to the sense that she’s not entirely human anymore.
