Not sure what flavor you’re looking for but here’s some of the ones I enjoyed:

  • Pan’s Labyrinth - fairy tale horror
  • Gretel & Hansel -fairy tale horror
  • Babadook - dramatic horror
  • Mothman Prophecies - dramatic horror
  • Hereditary - dramatic horror
  • The Descent - adventure/action horror
  • Jeepers Creepers - adventure/action horror
  • The Mist - adventure/action horror
  • The Crazies - adventure/action horror
  • 10 Cloverfield Lane - adventure/action horror
  • This is the End - comedy horror
  • Shaun of the Dead - comedy horror
  • Zombieland - comedy horror.

On my Halloween movie list this year I’m planning on watching

  • Little Otik (fairy tale horror with stop motion & live action - looks artsy)
  • Lamb (supernatural horror)
  • Tigers are not Afraid (supposed to be similar to Pan’s Labyrinth)
  • Midnight Meat Train (Clive Barker horror- one of Bradley cooper’s earlier movies)

Saw some other good ones already posted here - Event Horizon, Midsommar - so I think you’ll get a good list.

I got in trouble with my mom when she found out I went to Midnight Meat Train. She thought it was a porno. Not sure why she thought the local theater would be playing a porno or why they would let a bunch of high schoolers in 🤷

You ever seen 1408? Great movie, it’s a Stephen King. I think I’m gonna rewatch that one tonight

I love when movies get multiple endings. Not a horror movie, but The Butterfly Effect is my favourite example of this.

This movie for me cemented Sam Neill’s acting range. From Dr. Grant with the dinosaurs…to this. This is also one of my favorite, if not THE favorite, sci-fi horror films of all time - which is kind of a tough genre to sell.

I love Event Horizon. I also love the theory that it takes place in the Warhammer 40k universe.

On the surface this comes across as SciFi, but it’s a true classic horror with a scifi backdrop. It’s essential watching for any horror genre fan, IMO.

Creepshow (1982), best horror movie ever

Creepshow (the 80s one) scared the bejesus out of me as a kid. I had an irrational fear of going to get anything out of our car at night for longer than I want to admit.

Sounds like you’re referring to “The Hitchhiker” from Creepshow 2

The Thing from 1982 and Annihilation are two of my favourites. The Thing is just well shot and interesting and Annihilation has some gorgeous surreal visuals.

If you haven’t seen Color Out of Space you’d probably enjoy it as well!

Oh yeah I’ve seen it. Watched it and the Five Nights at Freddy’s style movie Willy’s Wonderland when I was doing a little bit of a Nicolas Cage binge.
