Paranormal / Haunting movies WITHOUT Possession

Since it's near Hallowe'en, I'm in the mood for some scary movies.

Actually, I particularly want to watch Obsession and/or The Backrooms... But I'm unsure if they're "safe" for me.

Issue: I have a severe parasite phobia, which extends to depictions of possession. I need to avoid any scene of a foreign, malignant entity entering someone -- especially through their orifices. I can handle off-screen possessions.

A real example would be the scene in Alien: Prometheus (2012) where the first worm-like Alien which they encountered spat acid onto the man's arm, and then snaked up inside of him. That's the point where I had a panic attack and shut the movie off.

A generic example would be where a ghost enters someone's body through their mouth.

So, my request is two-fold:

  1. Does Obsession and/or The Backrooms contain any scenes with on-screen parasites / possession?

  2. Any other possessionless haunted house / paranormal movies to recommend?

Thanks for any advice!
