I need scary movie suggestions

By Kirkletonn FounderΒ· September 11, 2026 Β· 7 items Β·11 views

So I wanted to make this list as a somewhat community curated list for some scary movies. Mainly because, I am getting my wife slowly into horror. I took her to see IT beack when we first started dating and she was terrified after and never watched a horror movie with me since. However the last couple years I have gotten her to watch a couple of horror movies that she actually enjoyed so I am looking for help on suggestions of movies to watch with her for Halloween this year! Below is the movies I planned on watching this year with her already. As a kind of gauge for suggestions, she loved Sinners and Backrooms but she did not like IT or Obsession.

Seconding Pontypool.

The Clovehitch KillerMovie and
The House That Jack BuiltMovie
for more good serial killer stuff.
I Saw the DevilMovie
is a masterful revenge movie if she doesn’t mind darker stuff.
PoltergeistMovie
for classic stuff.
Murder PartyMovie
for a horror/comedy and
Green RoomMovie
, same director totally different vibes

I would not recommend

The House That Jack BuiltMovie for someone new to horror lol

lol yeah that and I Saw the Devil might both be a bit of a stretch. I feel like I nailed it with Murder Party though it even takes place on Halloween! Maybe replace House that Jack Built with

HouseboundMovie. Pretty light one from New Zealand with an interesting plot

Green Room is one of my favorites though

To follow up

XMovie, I really enjoyed
PearlMovie
the most. I second
Jennifer's BodyMovie
, but I would also add
The Silence of the LambsMovie
as a good starter. The
ScreamMovie
franchise also might be on the easier side imo. If you want something absolutely unserious and ridiculous (and frankly a bad movie that's kinda playing on the fact that it's a bad movie)
SpreeMovie
.

ScreamMovie was one I thought of awhile ago but totally forgot so thank you for the reminder! I for sure think she can handle that.
The Silence of the LambsMovie
should also be another great pick because she loved
ZodiacMovie
and they got the same vibe imo
