Official Horror movie fan here- you can check out my other post for the 61 Days of Halloween Horror Movies to see the complete list of what we watched for the past 2 months! From that list of 61, I am pairing it down to 2 definitive lists- the 10 New Horror Movies to check out, and 10 Classics that should be on your watch list- so what should you dig around for from the past?
As Above, So Below
I surprised myself and had never seen this! Found footage horror movies can be really hit or miss- this has an interesting concept and some really freaky scenes- hope you don’t mind the dark!
4/5

Halloween (2018)
I watched a TikTok about how you could split the Halloween universe into 5 different categories- this one might be my favorite one then. Family team up against Michael! Yes, you should watch all 3 from this one.
4/5

Bram Stoker’s Dracula
This movie has EVERYTHING- a campy Gary Oldman, a really really REALLY bad british accent from Keanue Reeves and every vampire trope you could ask for- ITS PERFECT!
5/5

Insidious
I call this my comfort horror movie- I love you James Wan! The jump scares in this get me every time.
4/5

The Descent
When a found footage movie is done right- its great- this was one of the first found footage movies I saw in theaters and I kept my feet up in my seat the whole movie. Couldn’t pay me to get down into that cave though.
4/5

Speak No Evil (2022)
I only watched the new one with James Macavoy because I will watch anything with him it it- but gotta hand it to The Danish- they know how to make a truly horrible movie. The ending stuck with me for weeks and I don’t think I could ever re watch this.
4/5

Invisible Man
Another one I knew nothing going in- so frustrating, so scary, and Elizabeth Moss just crushes this role.
5/5

It (2017)
I think since this came out I’ve watched it almost every year now- finally, a really good adaptation from Stephen King’s books!
5/5
Talk To Me
The idea is such a great take on modern society and social media, the body gore really sticks with you and overall one of my favorite horror movies of the last 10 years probably.
5/5

It Follows
Horrifying concept and a really intense start scene for this one- the thought of the slow chase will always scare me.
4/5
