13 year old needs to be scared

Just finished The Ring with my 13 year old. I thought she’d be pretty scared. We finished and she asked how my scary scale works because it was suspenseful but not very scary.

I still want to ease her into scarier stuff, but I’m not ready to plunge into R territory or anything particularly traumatizing. So no Hereditary or Exorcist. But a step up from Signs or The Sixth Sense or The Ring.

Suggestions?

Why?

Don’t encourage it.
Nobody needs to be scared, least of all a child.

I'm a horror aficionado and I consider The Ring and its like totally inappropriate for a 13 year old.
