I’ll list my faves that pop into my mind- Where Evil Lurks, Terrified, The Sadness, Evil Dead Rise, Train to Busan, It Follows, randomly Scream 4, and special mention must go to the first two ‘scary’ movies I ever chose to watch- Snakes on a Plane and Jennifer’s Body
Honestly I could go on forever but these are the first ones I could think of… a related post should display below this one with some of my other horror recommendations * Ernest Scared Stupid… very goofy. you can actually watch it in its entirety on YouTube… Eartha Kitt is in it…
* Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost; Scooby Doo on Zombie Island; Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School — i was obsessed with Scooby Doo as a kid and these still hold up…
* Return to Oz — this movie is so fucked up and underrated. starring THORA BIRCH
* The Craft; Ginger Snaps — obviously. Listing these together as they’re both angsty teen movies
* American Mary — so iconic and very gory
* The Autopsy of Jane Doe — so scary!!!
* Red Rooms — creepiest movie I’ve seen all year but not in the way you might think…
* Malignant — best movie
* Suspiria remake and original — tbh i prefer the remake but the original is a vibe
* Oddity — fun and atmospheric
* Cure — meditative, deeply unsettling, even hypnotic one could say…
* Sleepy Hollow — incredible gothic Halloween vibes
* Strange Darling — FINALLY just released to streaming today I haven’t seen it but I’m including it on this list on a provisional basis because I’ve heard amazing things
* The Others — Nicole Kidman spooky period ghost film 😍
* Vampire’s Kiss — he’s a vampire!!
* Resident Evil Village — not a movie but I know you play games and this one is so silly and fun
* 🚨 UMM also the Silent Hill 2 remake is coming out next week 🚨
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
the first two Scream movies (the late 90s/00s horror-comedy has my heart)
House of 1000 Corpses (2003)
Suicide Club (2001)
The Stepford Wives (1975)
Videodrome (1983)
Lost Highway (1997) more of a thriller but got some creepy scenes, David Lynch shenanigans
One Missed Call (2003)
I Saw The Devil (2010)
The Visit (2015)
Phenomena (1985)
Midsommar (2019)
I’m still watching them even tho October is over wtf??? I just can’t get enough. Recent greats include: Noroi: The Curse (2005)
- Found footage… the climax is so good. Great for fans of ghost/demon stuff. Pulse (2001)
- One of my favourite horror movies ever. Worms its way into your being. Some truly terrifying, iconic scenes and imagery, not to mention quite prescient in its message re: online connectivity and society. Really can’t sing its praises enough! Ju-On: The Grudge (2002)
- A classic!!! Still hits. Quintessential haunted house domestic strife ghost story. Toshio 😢🐈⬛ Audition (1999)
- Probably my least favourite of this batch. Not for the squeamish. Still worth a watch if only for its feminist social commentary. GonJiam: Haunted Asylum (2018)
- OK this one is admittedly kinda hokey but it’s based off a REAL location and the jump scares are amazing!! Some truly spine-tingling moments. Not recommended just before bed lol 😬 (Also found footage)
truly America’s pastime. I was reading in the park earlier and overheard a girl dishing about a breakup to her friend who was kinda implying she was in the wrong… and she was like “so did I lie? Yes. But I meant it at the time” and then explained to her friend how the NYT connections puzzles work. I only hope people are as thrilled when they listen in on my crazy ass. I love being nosy
really just stretching your whole body so intensely you’re using muscles you didn’t even know you had and squeaking like a little mouse. wiggling like a worm on the sidewalk after it rains when you poke it with your shoe, but a little slower. maybe more snake than worm. but to each their own
