I’m getting back into horror after a long time. What should be on my spooky-season watch list? I’m also open to video game recommendations.

    If you haven’t watched Barbarian, I highly recommend it, it’s from a couple of years ago. The director has a new movie called Weapons that I’m interested in.

    Some from the past few years (let’s say 2015+) I enjoyed:

    Jordan Peele’s Get Out is terrifying and good for a rewatch

    Skinamarink - worked really well as a scare for some but not at all for others, check the premise before watching but I really got into it

    Joe Bob did a tribute to Roger Corman that was really fun

    Hellboy: the crooked man - not as big world ending stories as the other Hellboy movies, but the self contained stories were usually the most fun in the comics and this feels similar

    A24 had some big titles that have a few scares but mostly go for more of a suspenseful dread, the witch, midsommar, heredity

    Halloween ends was objectively terrible but I still enjoyed it, but I enjoyed most of the Halloween movies for either good low budget scares or the off the rails stories they wrap around Michael Myers

    The dead don’t die and what we do in the shadows for some good horror comedy. Mayhem with directors commentary is hilarious.
