I love all types of scary movies. But there are so many different categories of “scary”.

creepy and ominous

Hereditary - I figured this one out pretty early on but Toni Collette’s acting is top notch. Movie is still really good.

Signs - one of the scariest movies I’ve seen

It follows - this one stuck with me and made me think for days

Pontypool - really good flick about a zombie outbreak told from a secure radio station

Let the right one in (Swedish original) - just an amazing movie that happens to be a vampire flick

intense and brutal

Malignant - topped my list immediately. It’s batshit. Absolutely insane. If you don’t like James Wans’ typical output you’ll love this. It was obviously his whatever-the-fuck-i-want movie and it. Is. Awesome.

Barbarian - The Malignant of 2022

20 weeks later - I prefer this one over 20 days, mainly for the intense opening sequence

Dawn of the Dead (2000s version) - opening sequence

Red Sky (Netflix) - go in blind if you can. Like, don’t even look at the thumbnail… vampires …

comedy horror I actually like comedy horror movies so have to incorporate them

Wyrmwood Road of the Dead - maybe belongs in the list above but is more tongue in cheek than anything. Really got me into ozploitation movies

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil - fuck you, slasher movies

Cabin in the Woods - ending sequence is pretty insane but the movie was a must watch

Renfield - I’m a sucker for a good vampire flick and this did it for me
