25 more horror films to watch for Halloween

Haunted House Hamburgers in Farmingdale New York

On Sunday I posted a piece from 2018 that listed 25 horror films you probably haven’t seen before, With Halloween two weeks away I’ve thrown together a quick list of 25 more recent horror films that I haven’t seen talked about much since the release and haven’t been on any list I’ve seen. (I was going to include The Coffee Table but that keeps popping into my time line

There is no order or preference for this list – just films worth your time

RED ROOMS recent film about a woman following a murder trial 

HOUSE OF SCREAMING GLASS throw back to a 1970’s drive in movie about a woman who inherits a school from her grandmother  

STING is about spiders from space in a brownstone in Brooklyn during a blizzard 

WHAT YOU WISH FOR a chef subs for a friend and well things go side ways 

IT LIVES INSIDE scary horror film about a demon that is released 

YOU’LL NEVER FIND ME on a dark and stormy night a woman knocks on a man’s door 

THE BLACKENING is the typical old friends get together for a reunion and one of them is a killer. Genre breaking horror comedy is a delight 

SILENT MADNESS 1984 3D film a bout a killer on the loose. One of the best films spawned by Halloween and Friday the 13th 

MINORE a giant monster in the sea off Greece  

GODLESS THE EASTFIELD EXORCISM what happens when a couple tries to deal with mental health issues and discovers it’s way more than that. On of the best exorcist films I’ve run across. It’s genuinely scary. 

CRAWLSPACE (2022) A workman is trapped under the floor of a deserted cabin when  some bad people show up to do some bad things. 

NIGHTSIREN one of the best films of 2022 is what happens when a woman returns home to her mother’s house in the woods. 

THE LAKE (2022) a giant monster lives in a lake. 

DEADLAND is the story of a sheriff who picks up a man on the side of the road… and sets in motion supernatural revenge  

THE BUNKER (2023)  during World War 1 some soldiers cross the battle field and find something in the trench across the way that should have remained locked up 

LEGIONS demons and exorcists and really scary shit 

LORE recent horror anthology that actually has all good stories. 

DARK INTRUDER Leslie Nielsen stars in a film that was almost a pilot for a TV show. Think of Kolchak set in turn of the 20th century San Francisco 

EXHUMA recent Korean horror film about a ghost that is dug up that will mess you up- and make you want a sequel  

ABIGAIL probably the biggest film here and is too much fun not to include- it’s the story of a group of people who are hired to kidnap a little girl but aren’t told she’s a vampire 

BLOOD VESSEL if you can go with the rhythms of the film, this tale of people fleeing on a ship to a better life only to find it a deadly place will keep you on the edge of your seat l

WHERE EVIL LURKS f-ed up take of two brothers who don’t fo the right thing when they find out a demon is a bout to be born and thus doom their community. Wrong on so many levels you won’t sleep afterward. 

EVERYONE WILL BURN a woman about to kill herself meets a young girl and the reality is things go  really bad from there 

WHERE THE DEVIL ROAMS the Adams family nightmare about a group of performers who do disturbing things 

SHAKY SHIVERS horror comedy about two girls, one of which is werewolf 

As you can see there are dozens of great horror films to see beyond the typical Freddy, Jason, Michael and chainsaw one.

I will leave you to track them down.
