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!)
Hereditary, Midsommar, The Witch, One Cut Of The Dead, Bone Tomahawk, The Descent, Dagon, The Mist, Lifeforce, The Dead Don’t Die
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 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.
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)
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
