I'll be watching my yearly staples but would love some new suggestions as well. We could all use a decent dark one as we exit this hellscape of a summer.

My yearly list:

  • Hellraiser (1987)
  • Psycho (1960)
  • The Guest (2014)
  • Rosemary's Baby (1968)
  • Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)
  • Cabin in the Woods (2011)
  • It follows (2014)

These are the ones I almost always see over the next two months and I sprinkle in a lot of others from brand new to very old ones. Let's hear yours! (And we can talk about them too!)

Bone Tomahawk was one of those movies that I figured I'd like so I gave it a shot. ..ended up being better than expected by far

The signal is pretty scary. I try to watch that one when I can. People hear a signal and it drives them violently crazy, they think people aren't who they are and such.

I love The Guest! Not usually a fan of slow-burn movies but Dan Stevens is just too charismatic.

I'd add the new hellraiser as well, which is a sentence I never thought I'd say, but it's actually good.(yes they changed how almost everything works but I think it keeps the spirit of the original)

For background Halloween ambiance I throw on the Hell House LLC trilogy (free on Tubi). Other favorites for this time of year: Trick 'r Treat, Idle Hands, WNUF Halloween Special, Satan's Little Helper, and Cabin in the Woods.

If you're looking for a new movie this year, Cobweb came out in August and has quite the Autumn/Halloween vibe.

Behind the Mask, The Rise of Leslie Vernon is great. Documentary Style about an up and coming Slasher/Killer
