i wanna make a list of spookies to download for the next few weeks. please drop your favourite horrors or some obscure choices you like! mostly looking for like offbeat 90s-2000s stuff (earlier is cool too), wacky shlock is welcome but I'd love some actually scary picks too. really just anything you consider worth watching is good. thanks!
(sticking to 90s/early 00s because otherwise I will end up recommending like 50 movies)
Candyman (1992) is a must-watch IMO, probably the best 90s horror movie
Wes Craven's The People Under the Stairs (1991) is a great anti-gentrification horror film with evil landlord villains
May (2002) is an indie horror gem that I always recommend because not enough people know about it
Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight (1995) is on the sillier side but it rules
Ghostwatch (1992) is a fun Halloween movie in the form of a fake BBC broadcast about a paranormal investigation. people were actually tricked into thinking it was real when it aired
also definitely check out Guillermo Del Toro's Spanish language horror films, Cronos (1992) and The Devil's Backbone (2001)
These are all great recommendations. I strongly agree about Candyman — such a special film that takes the slasher genre as a starting point and develops it into something else entirely. I wish slashers had gone more in that direction instead of the era of meta-wankery ushered in by Scream.
