Spooky season will be over soon but we still have time to binge some Halloween favorites so share your favorite scary movie recommendations in this thread.
Posession 1981 (French/German) there will never be another film like it.
Suspiria 1977 (Italian) another one-of-a-kind-film. Thees both have their flaws, but to me it only adds character. Their motifs are comletely realized and both had lasting effects on the horror genre.
The Ritual - psuedo-Lovecraftian horror with no explanation No One Gets Out Alive - more psuedo-Lovecraftian horror with no explanation Mama - Guillermo del Toro is awesome NightBooks - Sam Raimi Hansel & Gretel tale that’s tame enough for the kids but spooky enough for the adults
Those are some that I hadn’t seen before this season. I pretty much watch horror from mid-September on, so there’s a bunch of the old favorites that got watched, but these surprised me.
Since I just saw a post of a sequel, it reminded me: It Follows. The dread of something that is coming for you and it can’t be stopped no matter where you go or what you do is what makes it scary to me. I actually had dreams (or nightmares) of something following me a few nights after watching it. And you know what happens when you try to run in dreams right? So yeah.
This sounds interesting. I love horror in non-traditional settings. Western Horror is incredibly underused. The only one that comes to mind is Bone Tomahawk, which is a must see if you haven’t. Thanks for the suggestion!
For a fun Halloween movie, Friday The 13th: Part 6 is the way to go.
Some people say part 4 is the best and maybe they are right, but part 6 is the most fun. It’s got the Jason mythology crystallized, it’s got an actual main character, it’s got fun side characters. It’s just peak slasher movie that mixes in the right amount of self aware humor without becoming obnoxious.
I’d also suggest Killer Klowns From Outer Space, The Gate, and House (1986) for fun scary movies for watch parties.
Cube is so underrated! Even the sequels are pretty decent. If you can get past the low budget and questionable acting, it’s a fun movie with an interesting premise.
