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)
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

4//5
Just finished rewatching movies 1-5 over the span of a few days. This series is always so refreshingly terrifying for me, as I have had my own spirit world experiences in the past. The plethora artful shots, lingering jump scares, and the frightening score really came together to tell a beautiful but cautionary tale. Highly recommend for horror lovers and movie lovers alike
