Recommend some horror films please!

[Downwardpuppy]

Dh wants to watch a horror tonight to get in the pre Halloween spirit! Any recommendations please?

Any particular type? Gore? Ghosts? Zombies? Vampires? or does he like absolutely anything?

I watched 'Us' at the weekend. Never seen or heard of it before but it was excellent. Essentially everyone in America has a doppelganger, they live in underground tunnels, and (understandably) get a bit fed up with that lifestyle. So they start coming up into the 'real world' to take over.

@edwinbear thanks I'll look that up!

@username3678 probably more spooky.. For me it's something that's very easy to follow as I have such a short attention span!

Candyman, old but good.

Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween or Childs Play

The Witch with Anya Taylor-Joy is a great, atmospheric Halloween film.

Or you could just go for the obvious....Halloween.

The classics - The Omen and Rosemary's Baby.
ETA - And The Fog.

The Shining.

Terrifier 2 😆 🤮🤡

For spooky you can't go wrong with The Conjuring or Insidious

I loved Insidious and The Conjuring for spookiness. Also Sleepy Hollow - I get properly scared by the headless horseman scenes 😂.

Great minds there @MarshmallowsOnToast !

Brilliant suggestions here, thanks so much!

The Omen (the original), The shining, Wolf Creek, Sinister, The woman in black, Bram Stokers Dracula are some of my favourites

Anything from the conjuring universe will be spooky.

Blumhouse films are excellent though, especially 'Get Out' it's one of the best I've watched.

Witchfinder General with Vincent Price

Creep is another if you want a slasher(set at Charing Cross tube station and the unused hospital wards). Never have I heard all the women in the cinema all gasp and cross their legs at the same time until that film.

The Awakening, has The Others vibes

The Descent and Paranormal Activity. I also loved The Conjuring.

I can't cope with anything potentially 'real' like Saw etc but give me the ghosts and ghouls any day!

Also I Married An Axe-Murder for a bit of thriller-lite humour

The Wicker Man

Hereditary

A Dark Song

The Wailing

Late night with the devil

I didn’t find this one remotely scary but it did a great job of recreating those old late night talk shows, and it was tons of fun!

The 80s vibe is what really drew me in. Luckily the prosthetics/CGI is slightly laughable which makes it possible to watch without too much trauma 🤣

The fog (original) with Jamie Lee curtis. Remake is pants.
