The world is full of horror films, many of which still go unwatched every Halloween (sad). Anyways, I’ve compiled another list of horror films you could watch this Halloween! Some of these are more popular while others are more obscure, but hey I wanna help you have more options for your Halloween (or anytime amirite). Be sure to check out my original article: here

Videodrome (1983)

This is one weird-ass movie, but hey, it’s Cronenberg! This movie also features Debbie Harry from Blondie. Be sure to check it out if you haven’t seen it, it’s twisted and gross and great!

The Thing (1982)

So if you haven’t seen this then you’re missing the fuck out! It’s one great horror film and it features live action effects! Not to mention there’s a pretty sick bass riff that plays throughout the entire film. I won’t say much else because you’ll have to watch to figure out what “the thing” is!

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)

A creepy horror flick that feels real at times; definitely worth watching for any horror/true-crime enthusiast.

Fright Night (1985)

Such a good 80s vampire movie. Seriously. This movie also features Marcy from Married With Children but she’s less annoying- so enjoy!

Prince of Darkness (1987)

A slice of creepy with not a whole lot of dialogue at times. I really like this movie because people hardly know it and it’s hardly mentioned in horror articles I’ve read. I discovered this one through my mom because she loves this movie, and you might too!

Trick r’ Treat (2007)

An underrated flick that passed us all by in 2007, not to be confused with the 1986 classic, Trick or Treat (here’s the trailer for that gem).

It Follows (2015)

Such a juicy soundtrack (reminiscent of Escape from New York), and just an all around great horror film. Some people give this film shit and that’s understandable since every opinion is just an opinion, but I really like this horror film. One of the biggest reasons I love the film is because there’s no solution really, it’s just a paranormal demonic STD that kills you disguised as someone you know or don’t know. I also love this movie because it’s one of the only horror films in modern years to creep me out in any way. For example, the Babadook is unbearable to get through because the kid is fucking annoying and the movie isn’t actually that scary. This movie isn’t that scary either- but it’s more of a creeping suspicion that’s always breathing down your neck. Good score, good camera work, acting is not bad; overall good flick. Be sure to notice as well that there’s no real time era to discern. The film features so many different technologies and weird openness for it being set in a few different eras. I’m not sure why this is a thing in the movie but it certainly adds to how uneasy the film makes you feel.

High Tension (2003)

Lots of blood. Definitely a good thriller… disturbing but good.

The Cabin in the Woods (2012)

Such an underrated classic! The best thing about this movie is that it makes total fun of itself and I think it’s awesome. This is not your typical horror movie, it’s a creative movie and it’s hilarious. Please watch it if you haven’t!!!

Rosemary’s Baby (1968)

You can’t claim to be a fan of horror if you haven’t seen this. I just can’t lie here, this is such a great movie. At times it’s a slow burn but it’s otherwise great. I won’t say much else, but if you haven’t seen this… STOP sitting on your ass and get to watching it!

Jennifer’s Body (2009)

This is another one kinda like The Cabin in the Woods. This movie is also the pinnacle of Megan Fox’s short lived career. Even if you don’t like Miss Fox, you should watch this movie. Written by Diablo Cody (she wrote Juno), Jennifer’s Body is a satirical horror film that’s honestly better than you’d expect. While Cody’s dialogue can be annoying at times because it tries too hard- the film still manages to stand apart as an original piece.

Let the Right One in (2008)

Such a good film! This Swedish romantic horror film is masterful in execution and absolutely beautiful. And if subtitles bother you then get over it and just watch this excellent film.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

A creepy rendition of the 1956 film, this one stands apart from other alien films. What’s so great about this one is the story and attention to detail. You just gotta sit back and enjoy this one.

Dead Ringers (1988)

Another Cronenberg classic! Cronenberg is the master of making films that leave you feeling very uneasy. Fun fact, this film is also inspired by true events! I can’t explain much because the movie is weird and dramatic as fuck, but Jeremy Irons is amazing. All I can tell you is: twins, both gynocologists, one woman.

Cabin Fever (2002)

oh Eli Roth..honestly this is a fun film with good editing that makes it more disturbing. I actually really like this movie, and it’s not great but it’s a good horror film because there’s no happy ending. This movie will literally make your skin crawl.

Poltergeist (1982)

My favorite horror film of all time (RIP Tobe Hooper). Anyways, this movie is just a classic horror film with a great story and everything about it is great. I’m probably biased because this is my favorite horror film of all time, BUT it really is great. And while I know this film is popular, I wanted to mention it because I think it often gets overlooked.

Angel Heart (1987)

By far one of the most over-looked horror/psychological films of all time. The film features a very handsome Mickey Rourke, as a private investigator of sorts named Henry Angel. He’s hired by Robert DeNiro’s character to find a crooner of the name, Johnny Favorite. So much more unravels though and it’s just so fucking good! Also there’s a heavily debated sex scene between Rourke and Lisa Bonet, but it only adds to the horror.

ALSO…Ginger Snaps(2000)!!!!

Because periods aren’t bad enough…
