you ask and i shall deliver: highly rated, lowkey bangers. each of these will stick with you. guaranteed to finish and think ”…holy shit, that was a great movie” • the wailing // korean film- one of the best of all time. 99% on rotten tomatoes • train to busan • the invitation • splinter • the dark and the wicked // depressing af • shutter • god told me to • lake mungo • the uninvited guest // more mystery and thriller but still insanely good popular ones that are still a must • babadook • goodnight mommy • cabin in the woods • barbarian • parasite

The last scene of Lake Mungo is terrifying. That movie is insanely good and it needs way more love.

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)

I haven't watched all of these so I can't testify how good they actually are but if you just want some ideas/a place to start here are a few: - the wailing by na hong-jin (south korean) - incantation by kevin ko (taiwanese) - rec by paco plaza + juame balaguero (spanish) - gonjiam: haunted asylum by jung bum-shik (south korean) - pulse by kiyoshi kurosawa (japanese) - suspiria by dario argento (italian) - the babadook by jennifer kent (australian)

which I had shared with friends last October and I thought I saved it somewhere in my Notes app but it’s lost in the ether :( I’m a huge horror fan and former obsessive. I’ll recommend just a few: Tod Browning’s Freaks (1932) — watched this on TCM the morning before my like tenth birthday party and it rocked my world forever… sad and disturbing The Others (2001) — gorgeous gothic atmospheric soooo creepy and Nicole Kidman is a vision Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) — details the last days of a troubled beautiful teenage girl named Laura Palmer… heartbreaking examination of traumatic cycles and evil forces. I would recommend that you watch the show first though 🤓 Barbarian (2022) — this goes against like everything you said you wanted but I have to put it on here because it’s so scary and expertly paced and filled me with dread but it’s also hilarious! It has to be my favorite recently released horror movie

music junkie? into niche sounds? compelled to scream your insufferable sonic opinions into the void? love to quantify your loosely held beliefs with obscure meaningless metrics? AOTY is a great way to discover, ponder, and ruminate on music of all kinds. this is another “CORNERS OF THE INTERNET THAT DONT FILL YOU WITH ANGUISH AND DESPAIR”
