Ralph Fiennes in The Menu

Run Time: 1 hr 47 min | Director: Mark Mylod

Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Janet McTeer

The Menu is a deeply layered, deliciously entertaining suspense thriller from director Mark Mylod, who makes a meal out of Seth Reiss and Will Tracy’s cleverly twisted script. Starring Ralph Fiennes’ (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) as the stern and temperamental Chef Slowik, The Menu follows a young couple, portrayed by the undeniably captivating Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit) and the equally talented Nicholas Hoult(The Great), as they find themselves on a remote island for a lavish and exclusive meal. As The Menu unfolds, nothing is as it seems, and the extravagant event turns deadly. – Yael Tygiel

Hereditary (2018)

Milly Shapiro and Toni Collette in 'Hereditary'

Run Time: 2 hrs 7 min | Director: Ari Aster

Cast: Toni Collette, Milly Shapiro, Gabriel Byrne, Alex Wolff

Written and directed by Ari Aster(Midsommar) in his feature directorial debut, Hereditary is a creepy psychological horror film. Toni Collette and Gabriel Byrne star as a grieving couple who, with their two children, discover their family may be haunted by an unnerving presence. Aster builds tension on the uncertainty and possibilities, swaying between the explanation of mental illness and supernatural influences. Hereditary deliberately questions each character’s beliefs. With twisted perspectives and sinister motives, especially as Hereditary unravels the hidden secrets of the family’s deceased grandmother, the film is a disturbing investigation of generational trauma. – Yael Tygiel

It (2017)

Pennywise

Run Time: 2 hrs 15 min | Director: Andy Muschietti

Cast: Bill Skarsgård, Jaeden Martell, Finn Wolfhard

Based on one of the most terrifying horror miniseries from 1990, the 2017 remake of It elevated the fear and effects of the fan-favorite horror property. Directed by Andy Muschietti, who has a plethora of experience in the genre, It follows a group of outcasts in small-town Maine who find their strength as they battle against a shape-shifting monster. While the monster is more recognizable as a clown, creepily played to perfection by Bill Skarsgård, the cast of youth are also familiar faces, includingStranger Things’ Finn Wolfhard and Sharp Objects’Sophia Lillis. – Yael Tygiel

The Craft (1996)

Run Time: 1 hr 41 min | Director: Andrew Fleming

Cast: Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, Rachel True, Skeet Ulrich

The Craftis a perfect time capsule of 90s women’s fashion and alternative rock, with Skeet Ulrich thrown in for good measure. He’s what you would get if 1996 made a wish to become a real boy. Centered on a group of high school outcasts that could only ever conceivably be outcasts in a movie about high school – Neve Campbell, Fairuza Balk, Robin Tunney, and Rachel True – the girls turn to witchcraft to up their social status. But things quickly get out of hand when Nancy (Balk) loses 100% of her goddamned mind and starts killing people. It’s the perfect movie to rent for a sleepover, and time has done nothing to diminish this quality. — Tom Reimann

Barbarian (2022)

Run Time: 1 hr 42 min | Director: Zach Cregger

Cast: Georgina Campbell, Bill Skarsgård, Justin Long

Originally promoted as a traditional horror film, Barbarian instead utilizes assumed scary movie elements to introduce a slew of fascinating questions and explorable themes. Written and directed by comedic actor Zach Cregger, Barbarian stars Georgina Campbell as a young woman who discovers the home she’s rented for the night is already occupied. Featuring a delightfully different performance from Bill Skarsgård (IT) and Justin Long (Clerks III), Cregger’s script allows Barbarian to take viewers on a journey through a variety of surprising scenarios, presenting provocative arguments for discussions into society, gender, and expectations. – Yael Tygiel

Night House (2020)

Run Time: 1 hr 47 min | Director: David Bruckner

Cast: Rebecca Hall, Sarah Goldberg, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Evan Jonigkeit

Rebecca Hall (Godzilla vs. Kong) illuminates in The Night House, a fascinatingly horrific thriller directed by David Bruckner (Hellraiser). Blending a psychological mystery with traditionally chilling moments, The Night House is alarmingly mind-bending and spine-tingling simultaneously. The Night House brought together Brucker with future Hellraiser collaborators, writers Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski. Featuring a dark performance from Sarah Goldberg (Barry), The Night House truly highlights Hall’s range as the widowed Beth who uncovers the haunting secrets left by her recently deceased husband (Evan Jonigkeit). An ideal scary movie, The Night House is for horror lovers who enjoy both a solid fright fest and an intriguing puzzle to explore. – Yael Tygiel

Doctor Sleep (2019)

Run Time: 2 hrs 32 min | Director: Mike Flanagan

Cast: Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson, Kyliegh Curran, Cliff Curtis, Robert Longstreet

Doctor Sleep is a follow-up film to the classic Stanley Kubrick film The Shining. Following the now-adult, recovering alcoholic Dan Torrance, played exquisitely by Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi), Doctor Sleep takes place decades after the traumatic events of the first film, leaving Dan with psychic abilities. When a young girl exhibiting similar powers reaches out for help, he must protect her from The True Knot cult. Writer/director Mike Flanagan (Midnight Mass) adapts Stephen King’s novels, carefully weaving threads from the original film into this eerie sequel, allowing McGregor to play with established canon and build on continued themes like addiction in authentic ways. – Yael Tygiel

Watch on HBO

The Witch (2015)

Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy) in the woods in 'The Witch'

Run Time: 1 hr 32 min | Director: Robert Eggers

Cast: Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, Kate Dickie

Written and directed by Robert Eggers(The Northman), The Witch stars Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit) and Ralph Ineson (Ready Player One) in one of the most unnerving and creepy films of all time. Set in 1630s New England, The Witch follows a pious Puritan family as supernatural threats begin to tear them apart. As this family attempts to remain devout, their life in the isolated wilderness becomes unbearable as they come to terms with their own sins, as well as black magic, possession, and witchcraft. Eggers’ unique portrait of an unraveling family is captured remarkably both through stillness and horrifically disturbing imagery. – Yael Tygiel

What Lies Beneath (2000)

Run Time: 2 hrs 10 min | Director: Robert Zemeckis

Cast: Harrison Ford, Michelle Pfeiffer, Katharine Towne

In Academy Award Winner Robert Zemeckis’ modern classic horror film, What Lies Beneath, Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer star as a very much still-in-love married couple being haunted by the ghost of his mistress. What Lies Beneath allows traditional and expected scary movie tropes to stand as a foundation for the passion between Ford and Pfeiffer, which pierces the screen and set this film apart from most other horror flicks. The tension Zemeckis produces, along with Pfeiffer’s seamless transitions from her character to possession, creates an absolutely terrifying experience in the best way. – Yael Tygiel

We’re All Going to the World’s Fair (2021)

Run Time: 1 hr 26 min | Director: Jane Schoenbrun

Cast: Anna Cobb, Theo Anthony, Holly Anne Frink

We’re All Going to the World’s Fair is a trippy and clever thriller about a teen who documents her immersion in a role-playing game online. Featuring a hauntingly raw performance from breakout star Anna Cobb (Bones and All), who enhances the reality of this frightening story that blurs the lines between fact and fiction. Written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun, We’re All Going to the World’s Fair is truly unique in its premise exploring internet culture, loneliness, and isolation. With Schoenbrun’s unexpected approach to the horror genre, We’re All Going to the World’s Fair blends the found footage style with more classic nods to films like The Ring. – Yael Tygiel

Halloween Kills (2021)

Run Time: 1 hr 45 min | Director: David Gordon Green

Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak

Michael Myers is at it again. A sequel to 2018’s Halloween and the 12th overall film in the franchise, Halloween Kills sees the return of several characters from the 1978 film, including Lindsey Wallace (Kyle Richards). While the storytelling can be a bit messy at times and it doesn’t exactly break any new ground, Halloween Kills is sure to satisfy fans of the franchise. If you’re looking for a gruesome slasher with a high body count, this may be the perfect horror pick for you. – Taylor Gates

The Conjuring (2013)

Run Time: 1 hr 52 min | Director: James Wan

Cast: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Lili Taylor, Joey King

If you’re looking for an absolutely haunting horror movie that has as much emotion as it has jump scares, The Conjuringshould move to the top of your watch list. Directed by genre master James Wan, The Conjuring delves into the real-life case files of Ed and Lorraine Warren. The 2013 film is responsible for launching the most successful horror franchise ever, with the latest installment, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It pushing the franchise over the $2 billion mark at the box office. The first film centers around a family in Rhode Island who move into a country home with a horrifying history and begin experiencing all manner of disturbing occurrences. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson bring to life captivating, romanticized versions of Ed and Lorraine, with their love story providing a complementary balance to Wan’s masterful horror. The Conjuring reinvigorated the genre nearly a decade ago, and it remains one of the best spooky movies to watch when you need a good scare. — Samantha Coley

Eraserhead (1977)

Black and white image of a man with wild hair and wild eyes

Run Time: 1 hr 29 min | Director: David Lynch

Cast: Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Allen Joseph

An all-time classic from the great David Lynch, Eraserhead is an experience that must be seen at least once. It features a magnetic and arresting performance from the late Jack Nance as Henry Spencer, a new father who is struggling with the rather crushing pressures of parenthood. Not helping matters is that his child is not all that ordinary as, in addition to not letting him get a good night’s sleep, seems to be more like an alien than a human being. As Lynch takes us further into Henry’s anxieties and struggles, it all becomes more surreal than straightforward in a manner that is striking as it is strange. Largely confined to a single room, it still feels more expansive and inventive than most other horror films you’ll see anywhere. While it demands the patience of its audience, it is more than worth taking the plunge as you get more and more caught up in its world. Whether you have seen every single Lynch film or have never even known of him until now, this is a must-see for anyone who wants to experience the power of cinema. – Chase Hutchinson

Watch on HBO

Antlers (2021)

antlers-feature-social

Run Time: 1 hr 39 min | Director: Scott Cooper

Cast: Keri Russell, Jesse Plemons, Jeremy T. Thomas

A deeply depressing yet dynamic story of societal decay, Antlers is a film whose vision and a growing sense of dread make for an arresting experience. Set in a small Oregon town, it centers on Keri Russell as a middle school teacher who begins to suspect that something is gravely amiss with one of her students. As she tries to support him by learning more about what is wrong, she discovers that his home life is being haunted by both the devastation of poverty and the creeping menace of a monstrous force that threatens to consume him. It is a film that is explicitly a “horror as metaphor” type of journey, though in a way that never loses sight of the overwhelming fear that has befallen the town. In particular, the use of precise effects and lighting make for a finale as beautiful as it is brutal. Even when it falls into some rather unfortunate tropes, it manages to transcend the trappings it sets out for itself to become something all its own. – Chase Hutchinson

Watch on HBO

Annabelle (2014)

Run Time: 1 hr 39 min | Director: John R. Leonetti

Cast: Ward Horton, Annabelle Wallis, Alfre Woodard, Tony Amendola, Kerry O’Malley, Brian Howe, and Eric Ladin

Annabelle, a spin-off of the haunting and terrifying Conjuring films starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, is the origin story of the creepy porcelain doll we see locked away in the Warrens’ home in the first film. The story follows John (Ward Horton) and Mia (Annabelle Wallis) as John brings the doll home — before it’s haunted — for their unborn daughter. Unfortunately, that night, their next-door neighbors are murdered by a couple who then storm their home. The police kill the man, but the woman, Annabelle, kills herself and latches onto the doll. Then, supernatural occurrences begin to happen in the home. The film manages to tell the origin story of Annabelle that is just so creepy, scary, and well-done, invoking all of the aspects of horror movies that keep viewers captivated. In short, it’ll give you nightmares… but it’s worth it. – Jay Snow

Carnival of Souls (1962)

Run Time: 1 hr 18 min | Director: John Clifford

Cast: Candace Hilligoss, Sidney Berger

This little-known film was such a disappointment to director Herk Harvey that he never directed another feature film again. Too bad, because this is a creepy little film. Mary survives a car accident that kills her two friends, and heads off to Utah to take a job as a church organist. Once she gets there, she is haunted by a ghoul. Is it real, or is it a trick of her imagination? The film is shot in Salt Lake City, on the site of a real Mormon dance hall that was built in the 1800s. – Alyse Wax

Watch on HBO

Malignant (2021)

Run Time: 1 hr 51 min | Director: James Wan

Cast: Annabelle Wallis, Maddie Hasson, George Young

Malignant was the film of 2021. Well, at least it was around Collider. This maniacal horror flick starts with Madison (Annabelle Wallis) having seemingly psychotic visions only to discover the visions are real. While the reveal of this film is pretty obvious, I won’t spoil it here. Suffice it to say, the third act of Malignant is brilliant insanity. If you haven’t watched this film yet, do so immediately. – Alyse Wax

The Shining (1980)

Run Time: 2 hr 26 min | Director: Stanley Kubrick

Cast: Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd, Scatman Crothers

Recommending The Shining to someone looking for a haunted house movie is like telling someone to watch The Godfather if they want a crime story. It’s so obvious it feels silly. But what can you do? Stanley Kubrick simply went ahead and made a horror film so iconic it basically became shorthand for the genre. An adaption of Stephen King’s scariest book, The Shining welcomes you to the secluded Overlook Hotel, where Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) has brought his wife, Wendy (Shelley Duvall), and son Danny (Danny Lloyd) as part of a caretaker position that ensures the family is completely alone for the winter. Unfortunately for the Torrances, the Overlook has a habit of swallowing people alive, and the restless souls who still populate its halls quickly starting worming their way into Jack’s troubled mind. King’s well-known criticism that Nicholson is off the rails from the opening scene has merit, but it doesn’t make the performance any less mesmerizing, or Kubrick’s surrealist imagery any less bone-chilling. The Shining is the perfect movie to throw on when your day has been all work and no play. –Vinnie Mancuso

Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Run Time: 1 hr 36 min | Director: George A. Romero

Cast: Duane Jones, Judith O’Dea, Marilyn Eastman, Karl Hardman, Judith Ridley, Keith Wayne

You can’t get more classic than Night of the Living Dead. George A Romero’s 1968 epic not only kicked off the entire zombie genre, but did so with a sharp eye for social commentary that still hits home. Romero would later expand his vision with Dawn and Day of the Dead(the latter of which is also on HBO Max), but there is something special about the claustrophobic terror of this first entry. Night of the Living Dead throws viewers into a situation that must be dealt with long before it gets understood. It’s a bleak film, too. The various survival schemes its characters concoct feel hopeless before they even begin, but there’s not much you’d be able to do differently in their situation, which is what makes it all so terrifying.
