My wife and I love to binge watch scary movies in October. Looking for stuff that's truly scary and not just gore. Watcha got?

    Dropping another a couple others on this list: Last Shift and Creep, ones to watch without seeing a trailer.

    A newer one I thought was good for not alot of gore was The Night House.

    Definitely second The Ritual and Hush.

    I'm not sure if it counts as horror per se but Horse Girl was unsettling.

    And maybe I'm dorky but The Babadook was actually really good with a kinda happy ending.

    And I'm unsure if The Wailing technically fits everyone's definition of no gore. I mean, it's not a slasher movie by any means, but there is blood (although its mostly on the living) and ghosts that are definitely dead.

      Nah it's fine. Always great to get good recommendations. What kind of movies are the other two? I'm not looking forward to another depressing Hereditary experience

      Who cares?! 😄 Got Horror movie recommendations? Spit 'em out!

      BTW, I thought Beyond The Black Rainbow was a visual treat and an interesting experiment/homage but as horror...meh. 🤷
