Evil Dead
Misery
Annihilation (saw the actual screening for this with the cast/crew there, at a fancy thing in CA my friend got me into)
Wolf Creek
The Ring (I saw this in theaters. I was a runaway at the time, & a friend dropped me there w/$10 & said to see The Ring. I’d been in hiding [no TV where I was], so I had no idea what the movie was even remotely about. Going into it totally blind was awesome)
The Thing
Silver Bullet
Firestarter
Needful Things
The Shining (1980)
Doctor Sleep
Tremors
Maximum Overdrive (also a comedy)

The Omen
The Stuff
Night of The Creeps
Wild Zero
Zombie (Lucio Fulci)
Night of The Lepus (this is my Easter movie)
Killer Klowns From Outer Space

May

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (OBC recording, not the Depp one)
Paperhouse

Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?

 

[beachpeach]

^ oh Hell no.
Wonderful list! Thank you!

 

[Saturnal Snowqueen]

None, because I'm an oversensitive INFP and those things will give me nightmares. The abuse, the experiments, the jumpscares, ugh! Well, except I do like Carrie(the OG one), wanted to check out that movie because I heard the character was an ISFJ 4 core and I wanted to analyze that type combination. Heathers I also enjoy if you'd call that a "horror" movie(it is a black comedy after all, as in the genre not the race).

 

[Pessimistic Hippie]

ISFP 4w5 sx/so. I usually just like atmospheric horror movies about the paranormal, as long as I get a good scare off of them. If I can remember others, I'll add them later.

1408
The Caller
Insidious
Insidious 2
As Above, So Below
Last Shift
Sixth Sense
Oculus
The Autopsy of Jane Doe
It Follows
The Taking of Deborah Logan
The Witch
The Woman in Black
The Houses October Built
Dead Silence
Host
Paranormal Entity
The Strangers

To be honest, Hereditary would be on the list if it hadn't done such a sufficient job fucking me up. It was the only one I'd seen that I couldn't watch again.
