Help me choose a not-too-scary movie to watch next!

Comments

Chris

Sleepy Hollow has Addie written all over it

Ali D

Poltergeist is amazing

Tom W.

Poltergeist scared TF out of me as a kid. It's still pretty spooky.

Kyle Brandon Sanger

Such a stacked poll, its difficult to choose. My pick is down to two: Sleepy Hollow and Bram Stoker's Dracula. I also like Interview with the Vampire.

Jeff I.

Not really interested in the older horror movies, but looking forward to something modern like Hereditary, The Witch, Midsommar, or Weapons. All great horror movies with brilliant writing and acting!

Alex Tan

Happy Thursday, Addie. All are great choices and they all have my votes.

Viktor M

Critters (1+2)

Luis Fernandez

I think Sleepy Hollow is true to its name because it is hollow and it makes me sleepy. It does have nice visuals, so points for that.

phillip giroux

Poltergeist literally psychologically scarred me for a while as a kid. Saw it way too young.

Doug

Interesting, all somewhat older movies on this one. 🙂 I think my favorites on this list are Carrie and An American Werewolf in London. All of them seem ok though, except maybe Friday the 13th which honestly, while it’s “iconic”, isn’t that great. 🤷‍♂️ I’ll be curious now to see if the next poll is mostly movies from around 2000 on.

Luis Fernandez

And I vote that if you watch The Lost Boys, you stage an interruption so you can say, "Motherf**! I'm trying to watch The Lost Boys!"

Randee Carreno

Happy Thursday, Addie! 😊 As a girl who grew up in the 80s, "The Lost Boys" got my main vote. With "Poltergeist" as my second choice. Have a great day today! 😊

Doug

Since this poll is all older movies, just some suggestions if you want to do newer movies for the next poll: - The Ring (2002) - Cloverfield (2008) - Let the Right One In (2008) - Drag Me to Hell (2009) - Triangle (2009) - The Cabin in the Woods (2012) - It Follows (2014) - Get Out (2017) - M3gan (2022) - The Menu (2022) - Smile (2022) - Weapons (2025) P.S. I left off Hereditary since I’m pretty sure Addie’s vetoed that one for being too intense. Good movie though!

Philip Davetas

If POLTERGEIST wins, I already know this is gonna be fun.

R.I.P. Lee Pitman (2001-2025)

If you react to Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), you could follow it with the Mel Brooks spoof Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995).

djKENTO

I love Bram Stoker’s Dracula so freaking much. There are no digital effects in the movie. Everything is captured in the lens. There are some of the most incredible effects shots of the 90s in that. Total gem.

Doug

Love at First Bite (1979) was also a cute Dracula spoof. And of course Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992). 🧛

Doug

Weapons is getting a ton of good buzz, I'm definitely going to have to watch that one at some point. 👍

Julian San

So many great movies (that happen to be horror) you’ve missed out on! SMH

Shooter The Emu With A Gun

I think Addie will like Sleepy Hollow, a little bit of Burton style which of course means Johnny Depp is in it. Spooky but not overly scary.

MGCR

You wanted scary but not too scary. You're not gonna get any scares at all from anything made in the 80s.

Tim Boxall

My favourite here has to be Carrie, as it's a seminal classic in the horror genre, alongside Poltergeist. Some really good ones here though so it's a tough choice, and bound to be a tight race!

Tim Boxall

Respectfully, I believe you do the decade a disservice. The 80s has a slew of genre-defining films, many of which bear up extremely well and have a lasting impact today. Think Nightmare on Elm Street or Hellraiser. The early '80s were also the time of the "video nasty" scare here in the UK. 1982s "The Burning", a classic, well regarded slasher was gruesome enough it remained banned under the (admittedly prudish) Obscene Publications Act until 2002. Atmosphere and direction played a much bigger part in films then due to budget & technical restrictions, so the whole approach was different. The "torture p*rn" aesthetic of more recent years has meant a dearth of storytelling in favour of cheap thrills (albeit with a few significant exceptions). There's scares to be found everywhere, you just have to know where to look 🙂

MGCR

Equally respectfully, Nightmare on Elm St. and Friday the 13th are not scary. They are GROSS. I'm sorry, I hate the entire slasher genre with such a passion.

Tim Boxall

May I recommend "The Final Girls" from 2015, with Taissa Farmiga & Malin Akerman. A wry, funny and surprisingly touching paean to the slasher horror genre. Plenty of laughs (wait for Tina's dance) and some jump scares along the way.

Tim Boxall

To each their own of course, variety is the spice of life and it'll be a dull old day when we all like the same thing! 🙂👍 To my mind the impact they had in later cinema along with the fear value makes them very much essential watches in the evolving history of horror cinema. Heck, I still have nightmares about Freddy Krueger having seen it in the cinema all those years ago (yep, I'm way past the wrong side of 50, lol 😂)

Tim Boxall

Can you recommend me some of your favourite horrors - I'm always interested to discover new films from others, and experience their tastes!

Mike Adams

I mean... the BEST horror movie has to be Dracula: Dead and Loving it... maybe next time

LaserLamb

Addie's a bit of a delicate hothouse flower, I question the idea of her watching that movie. I mean, this is a girl who watched one episode of Game of Thrones & had severe anxiety afterwards. She subsequently trashed the idea of watching any more of the series. She's only doing the standard "Spooktober" thing to keep the subscribers happy, for better or worse.

LaserLamb

Brilliant, unique movie.

Tim Boxall

We share a lot of the same tastes, ironically! Some real crackers here, particularly the old Hammers, and Universals, I could watch those time and time again. B&W suits horror so very well. Plus great to see the grandaddy - Nosferatu - there!

R.I.P. Lee Pitman (2001-2025)

MGCR, are you not aware that the 80s was the decade of the video nasty? More violent, gory and disturbing horror movies were made in the 80s than in any other decade!

MGCR

I’ve never heard of the term “video nasty” until today. But that explains everything.

Tim Boxall

Don't know if you're in the UK, but it was a big scare in the '80s. Back then loads of films, some of which were relatively tame by today's standards were banned under the Obscene Publications Act. The fear was that they would corrupt people & cause mental health trauma and owning or selling them was a criminal offence. Public morality and religious groups were up in arms about many of the flicks. A lot have acheived notoriety as a result, such as Cannibal Ferox & Driller Killer. There were also a lot of odd Nazisploitation ones like SS Love Camp 7. It's quite an interesting time in terms of film and social mores to look back on if you like your film history. Most of the banned films have now been released (and some even remade, such as I Spit On Your Grave). A lot of them were very "cannibal" orientated, seemed to be a real theme. The Act remains in place to this day, but obviously standards have changed.

MGCR

Yikes. Well, no I’m not in the UK, I’m in Australia.

Tim Boxall

Gotcha, thought you may be hailing from other shores! I envy you being there!

carbsix

The Omen comes in as a 'not-too-scary' type...

Joe Mallard

Get Out from Jordan Peele.

Billy Dancel

Atm, the front runners are a pair of great movies.

Alex Tan

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998), & I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025). #IKWYDLSForAddieCounts

Harry S

Tell me The Shining is not scary. An 80s movie!

MGCR

The Shining is scary, at least the movie is; not the miniseries. But that’s not a slasher. Because slashers are not scary; they’re GROSS.

Harry S

I have only seen a few of these but I thought they were scary. I would put The Ring in my top 10 list of scary movies.

Doug

For sure, The Ring is one of the creepiest ones on the list above, great movie though! 👍

Chuck Bartowski

The Final Girls is great. Also Willy’s Wonderland. Nick Cage being as Nick Cage that Nick Cage can be.

Fernando

Watch "The Mist"! It's scary, but not too scary.

Josh McHugh

I've loved An American Werewolf in London forever! Last week I had the opportunity to visit the old English pub from the movie called the Slaughtered Lamb! It doesn't really look like it did back then but every Halloween they do a special movie screening of the movie!

Chris Capitano

I know you watched the first Blade. But is there any chance that you’ll watch Blade 2 and 3 during the season Lol
