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 🚨

great horror you haveN’T heard about

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

Sci-fi horror/horror comedy/gothic horror/a secret fourth horror genre

I am someone who says they hate horror yet all my favourite films are horror films. This is because I have a very specific type of film I love. I don’t particularly like to be scared, I don’t like harrowing gloomy horror, I don’t like jump scares. i dont like extreme violence (when it’s realistic, I don’t mind silly gore). I have no interest in watching kids get their heads smashed in or whatever. I LOVE a good concept, I love highly stylish and stylised films, good set design and costumes. I love when things just feel a bit like…weird and off centre? With that in mind here are a few of my favourite films (they’re all horror but they’re also just the best films). I’ve also attached a link to my list on letterboxd, it’s not just horror but like all films that to me feel like high concept weirdness? It’s a vibe thing 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sci-fi horror: Annihilation Donnie Darko Under the Skin The Substance (i am partial to a silly body horror) A Cure for Wellness (this one also fits under Gothic Horror too) Get Out (also has moments of horror comedy) Horror comedy: Jennifer’s Body (probably my all time favourite film) what we do in the Shadows The Love Witch Cabin in the Woods Fresh Gothic Horror: Bones and All Byzantium Crimson Peak Only Lovers Left Alive (I would argue this isnt even a horror at all but its a vampire film so I guess it counts) Then these are a few others that still (to me) have the same vibe but I can’t categorise them as easily: Shirley (possibly gothic?) The green knight (isn’t quite a horror but has horror elements) Promising young Woman (has horror comedy elements but is also just far too painful to be a comedy) Nightmare Alley (also probably gothic?) Horse Girl (quite similar to Donnie Darko imo, but plays more on the insanity route to be called a sci-fi) Parasite (this is called a comedy but like…is it really?!) Saltburn (also kind of gothic kind of comedy) Two honorary mentions I will say that might deviate a little is It Follows (which does have some jump scares and is genuinely terrifying but is high concept and weird vibey enough for me to love it) and Midsommar (which has a lot more intense violence than I usually enjoy but is again great concept and isn’t dark and jumpy).

Nourished by time - Catching Chickens EP (2024)

Late to this but holy cow. I couldn’t be more enamoured with the tones and textures of this EP. Each track is a banger and inventive in its own way. Boldly charts a course for pop music. Highlights: “Hell of a Ride”, “Poison-Soaked”, “Had Ya Called”
