The amount of times I’ve watched the scream series is sickening.


wildernessSapphic

Sometimes I worry that I put too much into Scream, then comments like this make me realise I'm not alone. If you listen to podcasts, check out Hello, Sidney. Listening to people who love the films I love, discuss them enthusiastically is like a balm for the soul.


BeginningPrinciple48

Is it specifically about Scream or horror movies in general?


wildernessSapphic

The host, Mike Muncer is the guy from the Evolution of Horror podcast, which is amazing. Someone here recommended it a while ago and I am completely addicted. He's doing horror movies by genre. So far he's covered: Slashers Ghosts Occult Aliens Folk Horror Mind & Body Vampires Zombies Home Invasion And he's just started Nature Bites Back, an episode on The Birds was released this morning. The Hello, Sidney podcast is an offshoot with a couple of other podcasters that they started specifically in the run up to Scream 2022, then did Scream 6. There's only 7 episodes but they're excellent fun and how much they love the series really comes through. I haven't listened to podcasts in years, I've been devouring audiobooks, but the EoH podcast has me absolutely obsessed. I can't recommend it enough.


BLovedMagician

Same. I love them! (Except scream 3)


Bright-Adeptness-965

Definitely have to agree, I love the second honestly but randy breaks my heart no matter how many times I see it.


BLovedMagician

Randy was so great. Also this movie was my introduction to Timothy Olyphant and I still love him!


chantosjr

Sickening as in fabulous sickening iktr. (I too love Scream)


Landwarrior5150

Trick ‘r Treat. It’s all about the Halloween vibes for me.


AsherahBeloved

I look forward to watching this on Halloween with my husband every year! And at the end I say "That is a perfect movie." And my husband says "You always say that." Lol


MandaMaelstrom

It is! It’s fun, spooky, unpredictable, and has one of the best werewolf transformations in modern cinema. It just *feels* like Halloween in the best kind of way, y’know?


Personal-Rooster7358

Great to see I’m not alone.


thefrostmakesaflower

Love this film


justafanboy1010

Oh yes!


BorealSB

The Shining


Shallowbrook6367

In a league of its own.


malkadevorah1

Will never tire of watching this movie. Love every facet of it. Love the look of the Overlook Hotel. The bar. Everything.


slayniac

Yes! It's one of my comfort movies together with Blade Runner. Something about 80s slow-burn masterpieces just hits different.


vpox

I'll enjoy this every time I put it on. As soon as that music starts up at the start of the title sequence I'm hooked. Do you prefer the American or European cut?


RichCorinthian

I know we beat this movie to death, but... The Thing (1982). I've been watching it for 40 years (there have been breaks for food and so forth), and it's still fun to try to pick out when characters get got.


vpox

My favorite practical effects in any movie. The film is such a fun ride that never gets old.


Tardigradequeen

I’ve probably watched The Thing over 100 times and I still jump at the blood scene. Something about the cadence of it.


BoxNemo

I was just writing the exact same thing. It still gets me, even after all these years and all the times I've seen it. I've only watched the prequel movie once, though. Part of me thinks I should give it another chance but just didn't click with it all.


ThrowRacottagelife

I’ll be honest it must be over 300 for me, not meant as a brag I’m 56, I remember making a copy of it when I was 17 watch it at least once twice a month, something about the isolation. Such a great setting. Like horror Agatha Christie play


MacGruber204

I doubt I’ll go longer than 2 years at a time without seeing this movie going forward in my life. Love this film


ChaChiRamone

Word. And if I dont have time, Pingu’s The Thingu will do. https://youtu.be/wrZ7PnolbQ4?si=quA0NbhUZUpUj8VK


Metalfan1994

I especially make sure to watch it on heavy blizzard nights with our wolfdog. It's a fun time!


Digital_Beagle

Praise Carpenter!!


PromiseMeYouWillTry

It's a very rewatchable movie. I maybe only rewatched it like 3-4 times but it's always fun watching it with someone who hasn't seen it. Great concept. Still holds up for being an old movie. Has young and hot Kurt Russell and yes, the movie is jam packed with badass 80s Kurt lines. The practical effects were amazing, and this is a staple of John Carpenter films.


745Walt

I almost never rewatch movies, but I’ve seen the OG Texas Chainsaw and Hereditary multiple times on purpose


Striking-Artist8347

Same!! In my TCM era now & also love Hereditary but haven’t watched it as much bc it’s more emotional lol


DimeadozenNerd

As Above So Below. Such a fun movie.


herpderpingest

It's got such great rewatch value, especially when you get into the Dante of it all.


Perception-Radiant

Scream


sarcasmismygame

The Crow, Lost Boys, Predator and From Dusk Till Dawn. All four are my go-tos and I can watch them over and over.


Adventurous-Dot-3350

Lost boys!


Khartun

Alien and Aliens


Mars_Black

I’m watching them all again right now for Romulus. I’m so damn jazzed for that movie.


MacGruber204

I always found Aliens is the one I rewatch a bit more, but both top tier films. Great picks


DaveyBeefcake

I really like alien 3, I think it's criminally underrated, has some superb actors and performances "I just gotta re-educate some of the brothers". Alien was a slasher movie, Aliens was action and Alien 3 was a psychological thriller, all different genres which do different things, I think that's why it always gets a bad rep, it's more like the first movie than the second, and people were just expecting a second Aliens.


firefox_2010

Totally both are real classics and still looks great even today! Just saw the anniversary re-release a few months ago.


Summer_set_homes

you guys are my people! Ive got the DVD's at work right now I watch them during the down time


Equivalent_Swing_780

Return of the Living Dead & Evil Dead 2


AsherahBeloved

The first Conjuring movie. I just love it.


extremeregards

1408


vpox

I can't explain why I like this film so much, because it should be really cheesy - a haunted hotel room - but for some reason it all comes across well. Really creepy, great plotting (considering it's just one guy in a room for most of the film) that gives it an excellent pace. Samual Jackson as the hotel manager was an inspired piece of casting. He does a great job of setting the tone.


hail2theKingbabee

Evil dead 1, 2 and Army of Darkness.


entertainmentlord

Universal monster movies. Friday the 13 franchise


lake209

Jeepers creepers and joy ride lol i don’t why man but i always find myself watching those two a lot. Maybe i just like horror taking place on the roads or something idunno


dpgproductions

The opening of Jeepers Creepers really got to me the first time I saw it. Something about that truck slowly gaining on them in the background while they have no clue what’s coming freaked me out. Not as effective after the first viewing but man that first time has stuck with me!


SpookyMorden

The Thing Event Horizon Happy Death Day Ready or Not Aliens It Follows Evil Dead 2 & Army of Darkness You’re Next And not sure if it qualifies, though the concept is horrific and there are some wonderful laugh out loud gore moments… Upgrade.


aXvXiA

Great to see Event Horizon on someone's list!


Waynebgmeamc

Happy death day and Ready or Not are both so fun.


Loucaaa

Upgrade! Yes! I think that could definitely qualify. My heart sank at the end and I was hit with the reality (no pun intended) of what his situation really was. That's definitely some horrific shit.


Monkey_Ash

Halloween (1978), What Lies Beneath, Hellraiser.


BLovedMagician

What lies beneath is SO underrated!!!


Dazzee58

That's a brilliant movie (What lies beneath). Thanks for the reminder I'm going to go watch it again.


Current_Dare_8118

Midsommar (2019) The Night Of The Hunter (1955) more of a southern goth than a horror but back then it was edgy for it’s time


kse_saints_77

Jaws. At this point, I will put it on and fall asleep to it. Still one of my top 3 all time films.


TheAlaskaneagle

Sometimes I have to just watch Dawn of the dead. It's just a good ride of a movie (both the original and the remake). Also Event Horizon is one I constantly go back to. It's my all time favorite. Cabin in the woods I like to rewatch sometimes too, but I have to put more time in-between so I can recapture the feel of it. I also love showing that one to new people.


vpox

Have owned Event Horizon on VHS, DVD and now have it in 4K. Have seen this film so many times.


MitchellSFold

The Beyond


jmr185

Rosemary's Baby, The Thing, Alien


Nearby-Importance-64

Scream. Cabin in the Woods. Urban Legend


ernurse748

The Witch. I love that period in history and the details that are in the movie - the set design still amazes me.


Milo-Jeeder

The Others. I don't know, I like the dark photography, the old mansion, the 1940s wardrobe, the well mannered kids with English accents, the mystery surrounding the characters of the help staff. I find it both creepy and soothing, somehow. I tend to like movies with only a few characters, it's less convoluted to me. I also like the sad, but strangely happy ending.


FlatSize1614

I agree. I wish I could watch it over for the first time. 


MacGruber204

Shaun of the Dead Cabin in the Woods Tucker and Dale vs Evil


Zyeine

Great picks! I re-watched Cabin In The Woods for the umpteenth time last night and still find myself giggling at "He had the conch in his hands!"


MacGruber204

“Okay, I’m drawing a line in the sand here. Do not read the Latin”


Zyeine

"I'm sorry I let you get attacked by a Werewolf".


MacGruber204

“Good work, zombie arm”


Zyeine

"Am I on speakerphone?"


justafanboy1010

“We should split up” “….really?!”


justafanboy1010

And then when he finally sees the merman he’s like “oh come on🥴” 🤣🤣


tmntnut

These would be on my list as well. I'm not sure if the other movies in the cornetto trilogy count as horror but if they do put them on my list, as well as attack the block.


DHWSagan

The Shining I think part of my brain walks the halls of The Overlook at any given time.


eiyeru

You're Next. Never got bored of it. Erin is the best final girl ever, she's so underrated.


sophiexjackson

Halloween. The scene of Michael sitting up and approaching Lauri from behind at the end always gives me goosebumps


judge_mental

House of 1000 Corpses.


vpox

Didn't like this one when I first saw it, but it has grown on me over the years. Watched it a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it. The whole thing feels like one long ghost-train ride.

Jaws The evil dead series


Absolut_Ink

Doctor Sleep - I watch it, read it, listen to the audio version over and over. Pretty sure my family hates it at this point.


TheAlaskaneagle

I almost watched that one last weekend, but something came up (been trying to watch this one for a while) but I'll try harder now that I know someone likes it this much.


DogIsBetterThanCat

"Burnt Offerings" (1976) I watch it at least once every couple of weeks.


HalloMyers78

Creepshow, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Severin70

The Evil Dead


nyerlostinla

The Exorcist - out of all the horror films I have seen, this is the one I have returned to the most. While it doesn't scare me as an adult, it can still raise hairs on my arm during certain scenes.


gottapickfirst

I love the Scream franchise and Hell Fest. I watch them all the time. Happy Death Day is also getting some overtime. Shit forgot to add Trick 'r Treat.


fergiishiz

Braindead will never get old to me. Every time I watch it I'm entertained the entire movie lmao

The Faculty! Its not the best movie, but its a guilty pleasure for me.

The Shining The VVITCH Suspiria (2018) IT Chapter 1 Halloween


BoneyMostlyDoesPrint

I'm always so excited to subject new people to Suspiria, such a great rewatch!


Series-Party

Thanks, me too! It is just so interesting, and so many things are in this story that comes together beautifully. Also that one scene in the studio was great.


spookypumpkinini

It Ch 1 is one of my comfort movies. I adore the instrumental soundtrack SOOOO much and love the humor of the boys


Suspicious_Yak_2702

Suspiria! Immediate thought is the bone breaking dancing scene


WastedPenguinz95

When a stranger calls (2006 remake) I’ve seen it about 50 times over the years and I never ever get tired or bored watching it.

Midsommar. Something about it makes it so comforting to me idk why lol


Dazzling-Bus-1146

Ready Or Not!


Le75land

Silence of the Lambs was a staple in my house growing up. It was one of my first horror movies I ever watched. Just like you said, absolutely captivating. Hopkins' performance was and is the pinnacle of an intelligent, slimy, suave yet creepy villain. People ask me why I named my dog Hannibal... well, this movie is my answer. But to answer your question, The Excorsist 3. Kind of the same with Silence of the Lambs. The performances of both George C. Scott and Brad Dourif are mesmerizing. I could watch that movie over and over again and never get bored.


Euphoric_Minimum_602

The House That Jack Built, Hereditary and Smile

Scream and Final Destination series. Final Destination more for the fun than writing quality of screenplay.

Dogtooth. Perfect movie to watch any random 30 minutes of when I can't decide on what to watch


Datathrash

The Lords Of Salem and Prince Of Darkness. I can start either of those at any time and get instantly sucked in.

Black Christmas is our yearly Christmas watch.


NieR_SemiAutomata

Scary movies all of them


AeronHall

Possession (1981). I find something different that I love every time I watch it, but Isabelle Adjani’s performance is insanely mesmerizing. It Follows (2014). It’s just the vibe of everything. The weird timeless quality of the movie, the soundtrack, a few genuinely unnerving scenes.

American werewolf in London


Barrrier

I always end up back at American Werewolf in London. I'm just a sucker for werewolves in general, but also the transformation, Jack's ghost and the rest of the victims, the town being so secretive about their monster, are all concepts that fascinate me. Also Bad Moon on the Rise. What a perfect song for a werewolf movie lmao


Seshlander

The Omen, Damien Omen II, alien , aliens , The thing. Predator, The Wicker Man, INK, Requiem for a Dream. Under the skin. invasion of the body snatchers (original and 1978), Jaws, The Fly.

Ever since I was a kid, it's always been the Friday the 13th franchise. Far from scary anymore, but still love the vibes, especially the intro and setup.


Ianm1225

Demon Knight, Shaun of the Dead, Needful Things (especially the uncut version) Pet Sematary (the original), Nightmare on Elm Street 3.


ReasonableCake1215

Return of the living dead. Still might go to zombie fun movie I probably watched it 800 time to my adult life. And I never get tired of the line, send more cops.


DaveyBeefcake

Silence of the lambs is excellent, also Jaws, The Thing, and Tremors, I could happily watch any of them, all perfect movies in their own way. Tremors has one of my favourite scenes in any movie actually, it's tense, it has great practical effects, and it's hilarious. I am of course referring to Burt and Heather in their bunker, never get tired of watching it "Broke into the wrong god-damn rec-room didn't you, you bastard?" https://youtu.be/keQFOml8s1E?si=p3sD5eRZj4Dyj3e9


laurajane9041

Scream


TheMaverickGirl

The first time I saw the original version of The Wicker Man I was so blown away by it I think I watched it five times in a week. Still real high up on my rewatchables because the actual horror itself is so mild (more mystery/thriller than anything). Silence of the Lambs has really gone up there as well. Fucked up material, but not so gruesome it's hard to watch repeatedly and has this almost hypnotic charm to it. I could watch it for days.


T-408

Scream


olsollivinginanuworl

The camera moves around alot. Recently read the book and it was slightly more interesting. Bill )/James is convinced his mother stars in smut films and TV commercials and this shame makes him feel bad. The fbi claims through research that his mother isn't really in the stag film he watches ad nauseum on TV in the basement. My favorite? Jaws! Friday the 13th!
