Ready to scream and shake this October? As horror fans, with the season of frights upon us, our collective thoughts might turn to watching the scariest, most mysterious, and eerie movies we can find. From the timeless classics of the good old days to the most recent horror flicks, everyone has their favorite goto titles for Halloween. But what do you do when you’ve already watched all your seasonal favorites?

Sometimes, you may want something a bit more... chilling — an escape into something unnerving, which is different from what you have been watching every previous Halloween for who knows how many years. To serve up the scares you crave, here's a list of creepy videos guaranteed to make your heart race! What I bring you today is the eeriest the dark side of YouTube offers — these are 30 scary videos that should come with a warning, and to be honest, you're not prepared for what you're about to see!

Ever wondered why scary videos are so popular online? Why do fans of the horror genre, for the most part, prefer watching them over the usual teenscream scary flicks? Sure, the jump scares and special effects in horror movies are unsettling, but look past the gimmicks and you’re left with flat acting and an implausible, often laughable storyline. You can't really relate to it much. But coming to reallife creepy videos, there's just something intrinsically terrifying about them... something that makes you think you too can come face to face with the ominous incidents displayed in them some unfortunate day.

With that, to help you make the most of this year's spooky season, here, I've tackled some of the creepiest corners of the internet and handpicked a scary sampling of their most sinister, hairraising, and unimaginably freaky offerings. Depending on your proclivities, this scary comp may very well be the beginning of a new rabbit hole for you that will take you deep into uncharted horror waters and carry you all the way through the end of the month and beyond! But be cautioned — the creepy videos included in this list are some of the scariest clips you can ever come across! The dire chills they'd bring into your life are going to make you experience firsthand what being an active partaker in something nightmarish is like.

With chills running up and down your spine, your heart beating out of your chest, and the chances of you having a good night's sleep tonight next to none, these creepy videos will leave your psyche in absolute wreckage. This is no joke, what you're about to watch contains nervewracking, nailbiting events that may make your existence miserable. Seriously, choosing to watch these scary videos is an open invitation for nightmares to haunt your dreams. So, if you get frightened easily, tread lightly. You have been cautioned.

Done watching? That's great!
