The 10 Best Movies About Phobias

As the long running popularity of horror films attest, people enjoy a good scare. It can be the shared excitement, the cheap thrill, or the therapeutic release that accounts for at least some of the populism behind getting scared silly, but some films take pains to dig a little deeper and to uncover irrational and pathological frights that deeply affect a particular type of viewer. And so, with phobias at the forefront, the following list looks at some of the best examples of films that rattle at the fight-or-flight impulses in our anxiety-addled brains.
Be sure to add any phobia-heavy films we may have missed and don't forget to peruse the Honorable Mention section at the end of this list. Now sit back, and enjoy (if you can)!
