My wife and I love to binge watch scary movies in October. Looking for stuff that’s truly scary and not just gore. Watcha got?

It’s a pandemic movie, and it was EXTREMELY well done. Not “well done for a pandemic movie” but “holy shit that’s an excellent movie, period”. And SCARY. Not just gore, there’s actually very little of that, it just ramps the atmosphere up perfectly.
Ravenous (1999) Really good take on the skinwalker myth that tries to stay genuine to the actual cultural signifigance that it has in naive american mythology. Its a story of tragic desperation giving way to insatiable hunger and the act of harming+killing another human during to keep yourself alive times of intense starvation tainting a persons spirit and mind. Not big spoopy deer monster.
he poughkeepsie tapes is the only horror movie I’ve ever had to turn off, it was just too depressingly real even knowing its fictional. Only for true horror nuts who get off on the depressing non-schlocky kind of horror.
Midsomar was a good one buy it was really popular so you mightve seen it
Hubbie Holloween isn’t horror but a fun holloween themed comedy to watch as a palette clenser
Cabin in the Woods is fun, also Tucker and Dale vs. Evil
Alan Tudyk is a remarkably underrated actor. lol That movie is hilarious.
If you’re a fan of his work, I’d highly recommend Resident Alien. Not really a horror at all, it’s more of a sci-fi/comedy/drama but it’s excellent.
