stoker, the beguiled (2017), suspiria (1977), the witch, sleepy hollow, nosferatu: a symphony of horror, nosferatu the vampyre, pans labyrinth, the others, rosemary's baby, the others, the love witch, jane eyre (2011), a girl walks home alone at night, neon demon, the hunger (1983), the haunting of julia / full circle. these are all varying degrees of gothic and horror. some are set more within a contemporary sphere that encapsulates less of the gothic horror but feel somewhat aligned - such as the love witch & neon demon.

Folk horror, religious/posession shit and horror movie docs

giallos are my other favorite sub genre but uhhhh check out: The wicker man (original NOT the Nicolas cage one) The wind the other lamb Messiah of evil (this kind of doesn’t fit but I’m trying to shoe horn it in bc I love ) The ritual The dark and the wicked For religious/possession shit I like: the omen The first omen Possession The devils doorway Dark waters (90s one) The others (idk kind of Counts) The house of the dead The conjuring series (avoid the like Annabelle spin offs and the one called something like the devil made me do it) Horror movie docs are also a great way to learn about the different genres and stuff my favorites are: In search of darkness (the first installment - you gotta stream it on like a sketchy site I don’t think it’s anywhere else) Eli Roths history of horror cursed films Horror 101 Woodlands dark and days bewitched

Mix of nostalgic childhood favorites and fun horror movies

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 * Strange Darling — FINALLY just released to streaming today I haven’t seen it but I’m including it on this list on a provisional basis because I’ve heard amazing things * The Others — Nicole Kidman spooky period ghost film 😍 * Vampire’s Kiss — he’s a vampire!! * Resident Evil Village — not a movie but I know you play games and this one is so silly and fun * 🚨 UMM also the Silent Hill 2 remake is coming out next week 🚨

take the folkpill

study the folklore and myth of your actual local region. live your daily life under the logic of fairytales. communicate as heavily as possible in proverbs and riddles. humans are a storytelling creature and there is a reason these archetypes and motifs appear to humans across times/cultures/places

dracula daily

Substack that emails you the entirety of Bram Stoker’s Dracula in real time. since the novel is composed of diary entries, it sends you the diary entries day by day so you can read it on the same timeline in which it takes place. it started earlier this month but it’s not too late to catch up!! or you could wait until next may. classics can be intimidating but this gives you the opportunity to read it in daily segments in your email and follow along in an immersive way :)
