My household is already in spooky season. May I have your favorite horror films?

The first Halloween is our favorite and will remain so.

Fantastic rec

May save it for an official movie night with the in-laws actually

We host one for Halloween every year. Watched The Strangers last year

The Thing
It Follows

This is my post that I usually post in these threads:

This is asked often around here. This was one of my responses several years ago with some solid recs and a solid list of threads with recs.






I'll echo some of the ones mentioned here.

As Above, So Below was surprisingly great to me. Pretty cool concept that I feel like they pulled off really well. It's really, really creepy and well done.

Babadook wasn't too great IMO, but it was decent (I just didn't like the ending).

Cabin in the Woods was great, especially if you like meta with your horror. It's fantastic (both as satire and a legit horror movie).

The Houses October Built was decent, but the ending was sort of weird and confusing.

Agree that the first Paranormal Activity was solid. It would've been one of the best horror movies I had ever seen had the trailer not completely ruined the ending. I was super pissed about that.

I've heard good things about It Follows, but I didn't like it near as much as most people on this board. It was just decent, and pretty overrated IMO.

If you like weird, sort of fricked up ones, Megan is Missing is not too bad (but it's pretty twisted though). May not be straight up horror though.

I thought Black Death was pretty solid. Plus, Sean Bean is in it, and he's awesome.

Zombeavers was mentioned, and while it's obviously stupid as frick, it's a fun watch.

House of the Devil is a good, slow-burn horror/thriller, and a throwback to old school horror movies.

The Dead Zone

Halloween 1&2
Halloween 2018
I'll throw H20 and Halloween 4 in every once in a while.

Halloween 1
The Thing (1982)
Cabin In The Woods
The Descent
Nightmare on Elm St (1984)

Trick or Treat

Psycho

Event Horizon

Creature from the Black Lagoon
Nosferatu
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

We do a variety but aren’t always horror:

Truck R Treat
Beetlejuice
Halloween
Nightmare on Elm Street
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
The Shining
Nosferatu (Original)
Shaun of the Dead

Do recommend watching The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix as well. While a series, each episode pays homage to a different horror director/sub-genre and it’s really well done.

Always surprises me this one gets lost in the shuffle.
The Omen
