Tim's Sick Spooky Movie List 2025 (Patreon)
Content
Hey Pervs!
It's Tim and I've caught the Halloween Bug, figuratively and literally! Luckily we recorded an episode with Mandog Pod just before my voice went raspy. The upside is that I finally have a few days in a row to get down on some spooky movies for the season and if anyone is looking for some treats to add to their own watch list on this final week of haunts, this is what I'll be tricking on!
Trick'r'Treat - Probably my favorite Halloween specific horror movie. It's a perfect little anthology and I'm so happy they didn't try to milk it into five sequels that just get worse and worse. If you've never seen this one, it's a Halloween must!
Midnight Mass - Yes it's a show, but last year I did Fall of House Usher which I thought rocked and a rewatch of Haunting of Hill House which is one of my favorite modern horror pieces of media. I remember enjoying Midnight Mass but the scuttle butt around TikTok is that it's Mike Flannigans best work, so I think I need to rewatch it to see if I missed something.
Blair Witch Project - A perfect end to the 90's! My friends and I did not think this movie was scary at all during our immediate post theater breakdown but upon reflection at our post movie sleep over, none of us slept a wink and we talked about it all night long, afraid to close our eyes.
Nightmare on Elm Street - I saw this for the first time 2 years ago (I know, insane) but Freddy had become such a cultural horror icon I felt like I knew what it was all about, but I was wrong! This might be a perfect horror movie. It's got spooks, slashes, and creates its own interesting set of rules. It also doesn't take itself seriously at all and I found myself laughing out loud when he's walking down the alleyway with giant arms outstretched. It was already an instant classic to so many and now it is to me!
Gremlins - A random one on my list this year as I haven't seen it in awhile but I feel like its a nice bridge between Halloween and Xmas. I honestly don't remember a ton about this outside of getting them wet makes them pop another one out.
Hocus Pocus - I'm a sucker for the Sanderson Sisters and I'll always throw this one on at least once. I watched the Hocus Pocus 2 whenever it dropped and it was a hard watch. I wished they would've just focused on the younger versions because Taylor Henderson who played a young Winifred was putting on an absolute clinic.
Annabelle Comes Home - An easy rewatch and for some reason of all the Conjuring universe movies, I felt like this one slapped the hardest. I liked that they finally started exploring the world they'd been building and utilized the room of cursed objects. It felt like they were having more fun and in turn, I had more fun.
Poltergeist - I just like ghost stuff and this movie is ghastly as hell. A little long but a lot of fun.
The Witches - This movie scared the crap out of me as a kid so I like to watch it to unlock that part of my brain that still believes this stuff is real!
I got excited about scary movie season back in September when the weather dropped to 30 degrees and tricked my treat a bit to early. So I've already watched Midsummer, all of the Conjuring movies, Insidious, Hereditary, IT (the made for TV one), Event Horizon, FD Bloodlines, Drag Me to Hell, and Companion.
Let me know if we're lining up at all on our watch lists or if there's anything new you'd recommend! I'll be laid up sneezin' and spookin' all freakend long!
