I’ll be watching my yearly staples but would love some new suggestions as well. We could all use a decent dark one as we exit this hellscape of a summer.

My yearly list:

  • Hellraiser (1987)
  • Psycho (1960)
  • The Guest (2014)
  • Rosemary’s Baby (1968)
  • Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)
  • Cabin in the Woods (2011)
  • It follows (2014)

These are the ones I almost always see over the next two months and I sprinkle in a lot of others from brand new to very old ones. Let’s hear yours! (And we can talk about them too!)

      Bone Tomahawk was one of those movies that I figured I’d like so I gave it a shot. …ended up being better than expected by far

    The original House on Haunted Hill is one of my yearly traditions. Is it scary? Of course not. Does it have Vincent Price playing the cattiest straight man in history? It sure does.

      I haven’t seen that one in MANY years. I’ll put it on the list. It’s a fun one.

    The signal is pretty scary. I try to watch that one when I can. People hear a signal and it drives them violently crazy, they think people aren’t who they are and such.

    I love The Guest! Not usually a fan of slow-burn movies but Dan Stevens is just too charismatic.

    “The Strangers” is one of the best movies to pull off an uncomfortable feeling right from the beginning to the end. And it comes off as much more realistic than many slashers, with call backs and bad decisions and right decisions and unfortunate mishaps.

    Without spoiling it, the movie is a masterclass of writing and atmosphere, imo.

    Worth more than one viewing

    I’d add the new hellraiser as well, which is a sentence I never thought I’d say, but it’s actually good.(yes they changed how almost everything works but I think it keeps the spirit of the original)

    I will usually put on the terrifier shorts and movies for some mindless torture gore in the background of whatever is happening.

    For background Halloween ambiance I throw on the Hell House LLC trilogy (free on Tubi). Other favorites for this time of year: Trick 'r Treat, Idle Hands, WNUF Halloween Special, Satan’s Little Helper, and Cabin in the Woods.

    If you’re looking for a new movie this year, Cobweb came out in August and has quite the Autumn/Halloween vibe.

    Behind the Mask, The Rise of Leslie Vernon is great. Documentary Style about an up and coming Slasher/Killer
