Slasher
Movies that fall under, unserious but murderous movies
I mean classic Halloween movie. Nothing beats the original. A must watch if never seen, and one I watch year round.
Scream : Campbell, Cox, Barrymore: Movies & TV
Again another classic. Can never go wrong with this franchise.
Scream 2: Jada Pinkett Smith, Courteney Cox
Okay, not my favorite from the franchise, but still a must watch. Promise it is not bad, just not as good, but as a lover of the franchise, a must.
Scream 3: David Arquette, Courteney Cox, Neve Campbell
Truly one of the favorites in the franchise, and in general. If the original was not so iconic and classic, this would be my favorite. Please watch!!
Scream 4 : Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David ...
I know everyone was worried this new installment was going to be bad, but it is truly just as fun as the originals. Love the cast and the idea that this new installment is just a remake of the original but a new set of people, very campy. Amazing!
Scream (2022) DVD: Jack Quaid, Jenna Ortega
Again, amazing. LOVE the idea that it is a requel (remake sequel)! Like I've said a million times, a must watch.
Scream 6 - Melissa Barrera, Jack Champion
I thought this movie was going to be bad, but it honestly was so good. Obviously it is a slasher movie so do not expect an award winning, never done before movie, but take it as it is, a slasher movie. Perfect for that Halloween vibe, or even valenti...
Heart Eyes - DVD + Digital
Another classic. Has the same vibes as scream just not as dark and mysterious. Still a mystery on who the killer is, but in a different way than scream.
I Know What You Did Last Summer
Just recently watched this one, but kept me guessing who it could be. Made me think it was everyone. I can usually tell who it is, and this one took me a while to truly believe it was someone, great movie.
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer - Hewitt, Prinze Jr.
This trilogy is so good. I always go back to watch them. This is my second favorite out of the three, great movie.
Fear Street: Part One - 1994 (2021)
My favorite part! Sadie Sink is amazing in this movie. Such a great plot and story line, you have to watch them!
Fear Street: Part Two - 1978 (2021)
An amazing end to this trilogy. Love love love this series and I can not recommend it enough.
Fear Street: Part Three - 1666 (2021)
I mean slasher? That I am not sure, but these movies are amazing and classics. I mean what better movies to watch for Halloween than Halloween.
Halloween Dvd Collection
Another classic what can I say. This is a more serious series than the rest, not as campy, even though it takes place at a camp. More like the Halloween series, but as always a great series.
Friday The 13th Ultimate Collection
I loved this movie. It is a new approach to a slasher movie I had not seen before. More of an unserious movie but a must watch for the slasher spirit.
Happy Death Day [DVD]
Gore
Movies that are mainly horrible deaths, with lots and lots of blood
This series has been heavily talked about recently and I can confirm, it is worth the hype. In my opinion, this one is the best one. I still think about one specific scene in this movie which I think is the worst death out of the three. Only watch if...
Terrifier DVD - Jenna Kanell, David Howard
This one is definitely less scary in my opinion. More like Nightmare on Elm Street than full gore. Pretty different approach than the first one. This one is the popular favorite, but I think this is my least favorite, since it is less of the true Ter...
Terrifier 2
A lot of people said this was too gory for them, so take that as you will. Personally, I thought this was not as bad as the first. My second favorite of the series. So fun with the Christmas theme, funny as always.
Terrifier 3 DVD - Damien Leone, David Howard Thornton
This is one of my favorite franchises, just behind scream. These movies are for people that like unserious movies, that would be me. It is the comedy of scream but the gore of terrifier (just a little less).
Final Destination (DVD)
2nd movie in this franchise, just as good. This whole series is pretty much the same type of movie but with different casts and deaths. They do give you near fears though so be aware.
Final Destination 2 (DVD)
If you watch anything from this list, please let it be this one. I might be biased as this was the first in the franchise that I watched, but truly nothing can beat this movie, nothing will do it for me like this one. Absolutely gave me new fears. PL...
Final Destination 3 (Widescreen 2 Disc)
I can not spoil this movie, but like it has an amazing twist. You need to watch the series in release order and you have to watch this series.
The Final Destination
I was scared this one was not going to be as good as the originals since it has been many years since the last, but it is truly a good movie. Still the same amount of funny and gore mixed in, with some call backs to the older movies for older fans. G...
Final Destination: Bloodlines (DVD)
More of a serious gory movie. Did not think this movie would be as gory and kind of scary (in idea), but it surprised me. I LOVE Florence Pugh so I had to watch it, and I was not disappointed.
Midsommar - DVD: Will Poulter, Jack Reynor
Hands down one of the best horror like movies I've watched, especially for a Netflix original. It is originally in Spanish so needs sub or dub if you do not understand, but is so good. Do not watch if you get nauseous easily. A great commentary as we...
Watch The Platform | Netflix Official Site
One of the most unsettling movies I have ever watched. Not necessarily scary, but feels like you are being watched the whole movie. Has a good plot and keeps you on edge.
Smile - Sosie Bacon, Jason T. Usher, Kyle Gallner
Other
Movies I do not know what category to place them in, but are absolute must watches for the fall season
Although this is not really a Halloween movie, it does feel like a fall season movie. It is a must watch. I do not like vampire, werewolf, zombies or anything of the sorts, type of movies as I find them cliche, but this movie was so good I did not mi...
Sinners (DVD) : Michael B. Jordan, Jack O'Connell
Great movie for that fun Halloween spirit. More of like a gateway scary movie, for those that want something more than a children's movie, but not as scary as a true horror movie.
Beetlejuice [DVD]
Jenna Ortega is amazing and I will recommend anything she is in, but this movie really is good. The plot was new and was cute to see what they did with this sequel.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (DVD)
For an older crowd! Based on the title “X” one can assume what type of material is in this movie. Looking past that, it is a good horror movie, especially when you watch the trilogy and it all makes sense.
X - DVD: Martin Henderson, Jenna Ortega
I watched this and had no idea it was the prequel to X, and was so confused, but eventually connected the dots. Even with no knowledge, it was a great movie. It's like if the wizard of oz was a horror movie but was still connected to this trilogy, am...
Pearl - Blu-ray
I quote this movie so much. It was an amazing end to this trilogy. Mia Goth did amazing in each and every movie. Perfect for Halloween.
MaXXXine - DVD, BLURAY, Digital [Blu-ray]
Such a mind twisting movie, literally. I have watched the movie many times and still am left confused after watching it, but in the best way possible.
Watch IT'S WHAT'S INSIDE | Netflix Official Site
Okay, I know many people did not like this movie, but I think if you take the movie for what it is, it is a great adaptation. It reminds me so much of the games, obviously. Not the same as the gameplay, but such a good take on a movie version.
Five Nights at Freddy's (DVD)
This movie is scary when you think about how real this is, and how it could and has happened. I had low expectations for this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Woman of the Hour DVD - Anna Kendrick, Daniel Zovatto
I would venture to say this movie is scarier than the original. I was too scared to watch it in theaters so I watched it at home, and I am glad I did. I am not easily scared but for some reason this movie was for me.
Evil Dead Rise (DVD)
This one is more just funny than scary, but can be a lighter watch if you are burned out from all the horror.
Knock at the Cabin - Collector's Edition DVD
Alright, this movie was the talk of the year last year and although it is a “meme-y” movie, it is kind of good in a bad way. Again take this movie as it is and do not take it too seriously and it is actually an enjoyable movie.
M3GAN - Unrated Edition [DVD]
I can not talk about this movie enough. It is SO GOOD. I have to watch this movie at least every other week. Such a new and different movie, that is not only a social commentary, but is such a real and good horror movie. Although not scary, it is ama...
The Menu [DVD] - Ralph Fiennes, Nicholas Hoult
Remake of the classic. I like this version better than the original but I can understand why the original is better. This one is scarier in my opinion, but the CGI makes it funny at times. An amazing Halloween movie.
IT (DVD)
This is the best Halloween watch, I mean it is called trick or treat. It is not really a scary movie, but more like a Halloween spirit movie. It has a couple different story lines in one movie, but all are fun and entertaining.
Trick 'R Treat (DVD)
I was TERRIFIED of this movie as a kid, there was no reason for me to have been watching this movie at age 5, but it is now one of my favorite movies ever. It is that intro to scary movies type movie. Erie but nothing scary about it.
Coraline
My favorite new horror movie. I used to go and still go to Santa Cruz (where it takes place and was filmed) and it is so cool seeing it in person and on screen. That also makes this movie just that much more scary, as I know exactly where it is. I lo...
Us [DVD] - Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke
This movie is like Sinners in which you have to really think beyond the screen. The movie is deeper than just watching the material. A great movie is you like to figure out the mystery while watching.
Get Out [DVD]
Not as good as the first part in my opinion, but is so good still. I like these newer version better because it goes more into detail than the original movie which rushed through the story. I find this movie is more funny than scary, but is good if t...
It Chapter Two (DVD)
In my opinion, the first one is the best one, and I do not think these are that scary. Although my mom could not sleep after them as they were too scary, so definitely depends on your scare level.
Conjuring 7-Film Collection, The (DVD) : Various
I think the first one (this one) is the best out of all of them. I did not care for the others in the franchise but definitely worth a shot if you really like this movie. I love how in this movie, we do not really know what is going to happen, as it ...
The Purge - Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Adelaide Kane
Can't go wrong with an older (not really) classic horror movie. Although not horror, it is such a good vibe. That creepy but not scary vibe that is perfect for Halloween. I became so obsessed with this movie I decided last minute to ditch my costume ...
Jennifer's Body [Blu-ray]
This is such a weird movie that again, is more for kids, but scared me as a kid, not as much as Coraline though. This movie is a fun watch for any age, and will be amazing as a family watch.
Monster House (Widescreen Edition)
Although all the horror movie's are good, this one is my favorite. I am biased because it is a comedy based on scream, but it is so good. Absolutely for an older audience, it is not kid friendly, but it is so fun and a must watch for a horror comedy ...
Scary Movie
This has the most jump scares I think I have ever seen in a movie. They got me in theater and even at home. Although the plot is not super original and it is not the best, it is a good watch.
Countdown [DVD]
Although I have not watched this specific adaptation, I have heard this is the best one. I have watched the second adaptation from 2013 and it is pretty good as well. A cult classic, must watch if you've never seen it.
Carrie
This movie is actually so good and kind of scary. The music is creepy and I can no longer hear the music the same. Definitely a must watch if you want something on the scarier side but that is not so scary you can not sleep at night.
Brahms The Boy
This movie is really good. I did not expect this movie to be so good but it is. Ever since watching it for the first time, I could not stop thinking about it, I had to buy it. Recommend for that Halloween and Christmas spirit.
Better Watch Out [DVD] - Patrick Warburton
Not the best clown movie I have ever seen, but definitely something new. It is a fun and new concept which I do not see a lot, so it is worth a shot. Especially for the spooky vibes.
Clown - DVD: Andy Powers, Peter Stormare
I absolutely love this movie. It is one of the creepiest movies I have watched, solely because of how real it is. I have never once thought about this happening and I have never stopped thinking about it since. It is kind of like the Blair Witch Proj...
The Open House (2018)
I initially watched this movie because people said it was like Among Us, which it kind of is, but it is such a freaky movie. The whole movie is shot in one room, and really makes you think throughout the whole movie. SO GOOD!
