cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/4881141
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!)
- The Shining (1980)
- The Thing (1982)
5Excellent ones. I do watch both of them regularly but maybe not every year. Been a while since I've seen The Shining though. That one is going on the list.

I usually reserve spooky month for schlocky Sci-fi horror (pre 1980) and classic horror (universal monster movies) with reservations for specific movies like:
• chopping mall (1986)
• the thing (1982)
• the blob (1980)
• invasion of the body snatchers (1978, Donald sutherland)
• the Mist (2007, B/W)
• Army of Darkness
• alien
• aliens5I’m hearing nothing but amazing things about Talk To Me and it just hit streaming. I think I might save this one for the perfect night.
If you like slow burn I love love love The Invitation

- Night of the Hunter
- Something Wicked This Way Comes
2Night of the Hunter is one of my favorite movies of all time!
2Nice! It's such a perfect "spooky season" movie, and most people don't know about it.

I rather liked the atmosphere of Midnight Mass (miniseries) on Netflix. It doesn't overstay its welcome either.
