According to horror aficionado Carrie Underwood.

You wouldn't know it by looking at her, but Carrie Underwood is obsessed with horror movies. "I'm going to blame my older sisters," the country singer says with a laugh, explaining that they let her sit in a viewing of The Exorcist at an age when most of her friends were still watching Sesame Street. "It was very inappropriate." Instead of scarring her for life, however, all the head-spinning and spider-walking inspired a lifelong interest in slashers and psychos. "The murderer who you never see running — he's always walking! — and the girl who always falls down," she explains, "that's kind of my favorite."
It's a fascination that has crept into her art. In 2012, she released "Two Black Cadillacs," a thrilling murder ballad about two women who team up to kill a cheater. And on her latest album, Storyteller, the body count only continues to grow. The record is full of rich narratives about renegades, villains, and gray areas, all animated by Underwood's enormous, empathetic voice.
To celebrate, we recently invited the Oklahoma-born singer to stop by BuzzFeed's offices in New York and put together a list of must-see horror movies that have scared and inspired her.
