Attending school can be a frightening experience for anyone, especially those who are shy or bullied or living in very stressful home environments. No wonder schools have long served as apt settings for horror movies.

We have scoured dozens of possibilities to come up with our picks for the most frightening horror movies set at institutions of higher learning (i.e. high schools and colleges). Take a look at the schools below and let us know which ones you think are the most scary!

Carrie (2013)

Ostracized by her fellow high school students, young Chloe Grace Moretz must also deal with a very strict mother (Julianne Moore), as well as the emergence of her very own secret powers.

The Awakening (2012)

In 1919, the people of England are still dealing with the aftermath of "The Great War," which might explain reports of a "ghost child" at a boarding school for boys. Rebecca Hall intends to expose the hoax, but finds her beliefs coming into question in this very spooky thriller.

Dance of the Dead (2008)

A raucous horror-comedy, this tale is primarily concerned about small-town high school kids celebrating prom night by fighting off a sudden invasion of zombies. (NOTE: Trailer is NSFW.)

Urban Legend (1998)

Students of a professor of American folklore (Robert Englund) soon learn that urban legends may not be legends after all in a movie that is set largely at a small college in New England. Alicia Witt, Rebecca Gayheart, Michael Rosenbaum, Tara Reid, Joshua Jackson and Jared Leto also star.

The Faculty (1998)

Young Elijah Wood has an animated -- but quiet! -- conversation with fellow student Clea DuVall in a library, discussing the possibility that their high school has been invaded by aliens.

The Craft (1996)

Heading for a remake soon from Honeymoon director Leigh Janiak, the original follows four high school girls who "discover the dark side" by using witchcraft. With Fairuza Balk, Robin Tunney, Rachel True and Neve Campbell.
