spooky movie rec megathread (Patreon)

Howdy folks! There's been a lot of interest in spooky movie recs, so I thought I'd put together a list of my own recommendations and invite you all to share yours too! Here are some of my favorites:

#actually scary:

1.) The VVitch — I watched this for the first time right after my older daughter was born, and it freaked me out more intensely than any movie I'd ever seen before. It was probably just an effect of the circumstances, but still, it's a hell of a horror movie.

2.)  Hereditary — Again, horrifying on the parental level.

3.) Skinamarink — Also in the vein of 'bad stuff happening to kids is terrifying,' this movie nicely captures the mood of childhood nightmares.

4.) The Blair Witch Project — Still scary.

5.) Infection (2004) — Classic J-horror.

6.) Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum — And some K-horror.

7.) The Autopsy of Jane Doe — I guess this isn't all that scary, but it's still good imho.

8.) going through a period where you're no longer sure you're a writer

9.) Event Horizon — Completely bananas.

10.) Antichrist — I made Matt see this insane movie in theaters with me. Wild times.

spooky but not necessarily scary:

1.) Black Swan — Unexpected body horror hit.

2.) The Craft — Just classic.

3.) The Silence of the Lambs — Another classic.

4.) The Sixth Sense — Just atmospherically creepy, even if you know the twist.

5.) Scream — Does this make anyone else super nostalgic?

6.) The Frighteners — It's not Halloween until I've had my customary viewing.

7.) Practical Magic — :3

8.) Se7en — A little detective show with your scary shit. Very nice.

9.) The Others — Again, even if you know the twist, it's just a great vibe.

10.) A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night — A love story.
