#scary movie recommendations

[fleshblight]

It’s Halloween Time!! You know what that means: time to drop my ultimate list of horror and horror adjacent movie recommendations!

As always, if you have any specific content you want to avoid (SA, pet death, decapitation, etc) I recommend checking doesthedogdie before watching any of these, ESPECIALLY THE DOCUMENTARIES!!!

Have fun and Happy Halloween!

[yourlocalmissingtexture]

Making a list of horror movies & series that feel queer somehow (probably just campy, me reading into shit, or me being gay for the killer idk could be any of those tbh) or are just straight up explicitly queer. Btw by horror I’m including any and all subgenres and stuff that intersects it.

So far I’ve got Saw, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Repo! The Genetic Opera, Cabin in the Woods, Hereditary, Halloween, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Silence of the Lambs, Scream, Black Swan, Warm Bodies (idc if they’re a straight passing couple, zombies are queer allegory fight me), Lisa Frankenstein, Sleepaway Camp, Phantom of the Paradise, Hannibal (series), Jennifer’s Body

Stuff in blue I haven’t seen yet & stuff in orange I’ve seen but it’s been so long that I don’t remember much about them so shhh no spoilers please <3

PLEASE RECOMMEND ME STUFF!!!!!

Pleeeeeaaaaseeeee please please!!!! They don’t even have to be queer, I’ll find a way to project onto them regardless :3 all I ask is that they’re good or so bad they’re good. Leave a comment, reblog with tags, leave me an ask, or DM me if you have something in mind!

Edit: I’m updating this whenever I’m recommended something! :D

Looking for scary movie recommendations!

Heyo, my friend and I have been trying to find good scary movies to watch and just keep ending up watching movies that are either not scary or we just straight up don't like, so I wanted to ask for recommendations instead of just listening to horror fans on Tik Tok!

I think part of the problem is when looking for horror, "horror" as a genre seems to cover a lot. I'm not looking for like vaguely eery movies, or disturbing content matter but no real scare factor. That's why I'm saying "scary" movies here instead.

Movies I've watched recently/we've watched together that DIDN'T do it for me/us under the cut! (+ genre preferences)

SKINAMARINK - It was such a bummer that we didn't like this movie because it was so hyped, but it just didn't do it at all. The movie was so dark that you couldn't really see what was going on, so the long drawn out scenes of nothing happening had zero effect. Also the 'let your brain fill in the gaps' type horror doesn't work for me I think. I'm not trying to be vaguely unsettled, I want a good scare. This movie mostly just bored us.

CREEP - I watched this one alone so I dunno what my friend would think, but I just found it weird and kind of stupid. The "twist" was really predictable. The scenes that were really hyped up weren't scary, they were just uncomfortable and weird. It wasn't scary, it wasn't even creepy, it was just weird. and it KEPT GOING. I found myself checking the runtime multiple times, thinking "surely we must be getting to the end?"

THE CIRCLE - It was an interesting concept, but not scary. We mostly found ourselves yelling at the tv hoping they'd kill the clear assholes. The thing with the fetus getting a vote was almost comedic. I think it mostly just made us mad. Again, not scary at all. More frustrating than tense, even.

THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT - I didn't DISLIKE this movie, it was interesting, but again, it wasn't scary. I was hoping the body horror aspect would amp things up, but it didn't. The scariest part for me was scaling the walls of hell because I'm afraid of falling lmao. It was an interesting movie, we had an alright time watching it, but it was disappointing in that we wanted to be scared and it didn't get there.

*** PREFERENCES MAYBE?

Personally, I'm into psychological and supernatural horror. I don't mind body horror/gore, but I don't particularly want to watch movies where the gore is the whole point. I prefer there to be more atmosphere and suspense than just straight gore. Suspense with a good scare payoff is ideal. My friend is into the gorier stuff, so something with a good balance, maybe. I'm not really into horror comedy or really campy horror, either. Highly prefer things that don't involve animal cruelty :) I can handle a bit of like oh there's something ritualistic that happened here but don't kill a cat on screen ykno? if it happens it happens i'll close my eyes but warnings appreciated in that regard

Things I'm not sure went like they were supposed to in the scene "let's traumatize Zahra" :

Taylor not being able to grab the pants (trousers, dear 🇬🇧) in time.

Sarah yetting the poor shirt🥺

Communication not found. Was Taylor supposed to make Sarah sit on a chair instead of on the bed?

Tzp's concern looks a bit too real tbh🥴

Great UA Pumpkin Carve Off by @amarisllis

Summary: “What are you doing?” Izuku spots an additional untouched pumpkin on the side of the counter that seemingly hasn’t been cut open and disemboweled yet.

“The hell does it look like?” He pulls out another handful of pumpkin guts, dropping them unceremoniously into the bowl next to him.

“Um. I know, but why?”

Kacchan looks at him like he sprouted a second head. “So we can carve them, dumbass, why the fuck do you think?”

(Not so) scary movies by @amarisllis

Summary: “Dumbass fraidy-cat,” he mumbles, flicking Izuku’s forehead.

Izuku pouts at him, but a moment later it turns into an expression of confusion when he sees Kacchan blushing again. He’s about to ask what’s wrong, when he feels something flex underneath his hands, and… oh.

Apparently the thing he happened to grab onto was Kacchan’s arm.

dimwits and pumpkin tits by popcornpearl

Summary: He snatched the pumpkin up and quickly shoved it under his shirt. The cold rind on his stomach sent a shiver down his spine, but he was determined to power through. He ran a hand along his belly, feeling the bumpy rind through his shirt. It felt foreign, nothing at all like the soft, smooth skin of his abdomen. Still, when he looked down, he couldn't help but imagine his future. In several months, his own belly would be just as massive. He couldn't wait.

Katsuki tried his best to make his pregnancy announcement cute and unique. But his husband's obliviousness just had to get in the way. Fucking typical.

The Batman (2022) isn't perfect by any means, but it is still a phenomenal film and one of the best pieces of Bat-media in recent memory.

Firstly, the aesthetic. Seemingly small but an incredibly important part. BTAS was broody, '89 was gothic, Forever was campy, TDK was... bad. And TB I think finds a real sweet spot in between vibes. It's dark, serious, it's got a technological noir, and yet still has vibrancy and color and (the key to my heart) neon.

One scene, you'll be sitting in an abandoned tunnel with shadows and muddy colors, the next you'll be surrounded by police under white lights, and the next you'll be in a night club with LEDs of every color you can think.

The fights. This film has some of the best Batman fights I've ever seen period. Really just action in general. The night club, the hallway, the finale. It's not like TDK where every fight is slow, precise, methodical, and honestly boring. Each fight or chase here is energetic and entertaining. The choreography is excellent, the stakes are legitimately high, and the settings are always unique.

The night club is crowded and overwhelming, with people swinging, shouting, and grabbing at Bats who aren't even apart of the fight. His skills and equipment save his life multiple times, whether it's block a bullet with a precise pipe throw or survive a shotgun blast with his armor. When he finally grabs Penguin you feel as overwhelmed and animalistic as he does.

The precinct escape is tight and tense. From the punch to the jump, every second makes you feel the absolute abominable stress of trying to escape a building like this. Officers pouring out of every room, bullets whizzing by and beaming off his suit. Merely seconds to get the flight suit on before they come pouring out to the roof. We experience the fall with him as his nerves spike, all culminating in a quick second decision that ends with him crashing into the side of the road.

Gotham. The beloved city feels full here. Subways are crowded, streets are packed. The crime feels real. Vandals, gang violence, thieves, assassins, crime families. It's not just militants and killers. We see the systemic issues in place that cause these. We see the feelings and social strains that make people do this. It's like you're taking a peak into another world with context and history you don't know but understand. It feels right.

The characterizations. I'm not a huge fan of the whole "Bruce Wayne is the mask, Batman is the real you" thing inflamed by TDK. And I really don't like "the Waynes were corrupt and did bad things, even for good reasons".

I think there's so much more to say about the two very different, very real sides to Bruce's personality. The one that comes out as billionaire playboy philanthropist, and the one that comes out as a violent and vengeful demon. Both who are willing to suffer for their causes. And I think there's so much more when the Waynes die from a mugging. That the crime is so bad it took the highest. That it could take anyone at any time, even the beloved elite.

However it does something right that most other Bat-media fails at. It makes Batman a symbol of hope. It demonstrates a growth in himself. That he can do more good to inspire the people than to instill fear in them.

Pandaredd made a good video on this, but in Crisis On Two Earths, Bats' opposite is represented as the ultimate nihilist. This means that at his core, Batman is really the ultimate optimist. And that makes sense. You don't put on a suit and fight crime, you don't try to create resources to help people, you don't befriend and reform your own Rogues gallery unless you believe you can change something. That all the work you do, all the suffering you experience will be worth it when you get to know the world healed.

And that's something The Batman understands. Batman started as a symbol of fear. So that every criminal hesitates at an alley. Panics at a shadow. But he became something else. A symbol of optimism. So that people can walk the streets at night. That they can get the help they need. That they can look into the sky with hope.
