In honor of Friday the 13 th (and Halloween right around the corner), here are 13 fright flicks about how vacations don’t always go as planned … ## The Blair Witch Project A camping excursion gone terribly wrong. In this 1990s chiller, three documentary filmmakers head for the woods in search of the mythical Blair Witch … and get much more than they bargained for. ## Texas Chainsaw Massacre Road trip! A group of friends are traveling through the Lone Star State when they come across a house full of cannibals – including one with a love of a certain power tool. ## Cabin in the Woods ** ** Rest, relaxation … and horror. Drew Goddard’s *Cabin in the Woods* follows five college friends to a remote cabin, where they encounter a zombified family with a need for fresh brains. ## Hostel A rambling college trip through Europe goes awry when the characters pay a visit to the worst hostel of all time. Things get gross. ## An American Werewolf in London Traveling abroad can be bad for your health, clearly. In this early 1980s classic, a college student on a walking tour of England encounters a werewolf – and becomes one himself. ## Turistas OK, backpacking through London isn’t great. How about backpacking through Brazil? No way. The heroes of this 2006 flick find themselves in the sights of an underground organ-harvesting ring. ## I Still Know What You Did Last Summer And speaking of Brazil … In this sequel, the gang from *I Know What You Did Last Summer* try to forget their troubles with a trip to sunny Rio De Janeiro. Guess what? Things don’t work out as planned. ## The Ruins OK, how about Mexico as a nice place for a getaway? In *The Ruins*, two American couples explore an ancient Mayan ruin, only to discover that supernatural forces are out to get them. ## The Hills Have Eyes Don’t head for the hills! The Carter family is taking a road trip from Ohio to Los Angeles when they run into another family … who are very weird and very scary. ## Vacancy Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale are a married couple who check into a nondescript motel for the night. What should be just another night turns into a terrifying fight for their lives. ## Psycho Of course, *Vacancy* isn’t the first of the great horror movies to make the most of a seemingly non-threatening motel. In Alfred Hitchcock’s suspense classic, a young woman books a room at the Bates Motel, which is run by a strange guy named Norman and his even stranger mother. Taking a shower was never the same again. ## The Birds Hitchcock followed another young woman on a trip out of town for *The Birds*, one of his classic horror movies. But instead of a knife-wielding maniac, she’s attacked by thousands upon thousands of homicidal birds. ## Snakes on a Plane Air travel can be a nightmare – especially when there are thousands of snakes joining you for your flight. Luckily, Samuel L. Jackson is aboard, and he’s ready to take care of business. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![TURNER Bucket List Inspiration](https://www.turnerpr.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/bucket-list-TURNER-1-3.png) ](https://www.turnerpr.com/spin-kitchen/turner-bucket-list-inspiration) #### [TURNER Bucket List Inspiration](https://www.turnerpr.com/spin-kitchen/turner-bucket-list-inspiration) [Admin](https://www.turnerpr.com/spin-kitchen/author/admin) : March 20, 2017 Most of us have it somewhere, the list of must-dos, must-visits, must-experience – the Bucket List.
