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?

    Ravenous (1999) Really good take on the skinwalker myth that tries to stay genuine to the actual cultural signifigance that it has in naive american mythology. Its a story of tragic desperation giving way to insatiable hunger and the act of harming+killing another human during to keep yourself alive times of intense starvation tainting a persons spirit and mind. Not big spoopy deer monster.

    he poughkeepsie tapes is the only horror movie I’ve ever had to turn off, it was just too depressingly real even knowing its fictional. Only for true horror nuts who get off on the depressing non-schlocky kind of horror.

    Midsomar was a good one buy it was really popular so you mightve seen it

    Hubbie Holloween isn’t horror but a fun holloween themed comedy to watch as a palette clenser

      I watched Ravenous when I was pretty young and I was so scared I’ve never seen it again since. Maybe I’ll give it another watch more than 2 decades later.
