@ LightsCameraJake, Bryan Tuck- yes people can suggest what they want, and I can call them out for bad suggestions too, which is not "belittling them". Or do you think that theme polls shouldn't exist? I mean if V did a sports movie poll and I suggested Friday the 13th part 3 because Jason wears a hockey mask you'd be cool with that then? Or would you rightly call me out for making a non-theme suggestion? This attempted subversion of theme polls happens fairly often and I see people push back on it all the time with no one calling them gatekeeper - except when it comes to horror polls. Then you're a mean old "gatekeeper" for not letting them try to get whatever non-horror movie they want on a horror poll. If V really wanted non horror movies for this poll then why did she write this in her post "I have seen many horror movies by now (it being one of if not my favorite film genre!!) so I will be responding to comments that recommend movies I’ve already seen, just to let you know. :)" ? Sounds pretty specific to me. But hey, maybe she'll do a horror comedy poll so I can suggest something wildly inappropriate for it, like The Mist. Of course I wouldn't do that because I can follow directions.
Richard Maurer
Someone needs to gatekeep - because others try change the intent of the post. V asked for horror movies, not a bunch movies that are vaguely horror adjacent (Harvey? Really?). But say some of these movies did take up space on a horror poll where they don't belong. They would most likely lose while blocking actual horror films from a chance to win by being on the poll in the first place. And if they did win they would be a disappointment to anyone looking for actual horror films - including V. How about people stop being selfish by trying to shoehorn in movies that don't belong on theme polls. This includes any theme poll, not just horror. This happens all the time and I'm sick of it.
Richard Maurer
I here I was trying to have a normal discussion, so stop trying make it like was attacking you or something. Maybe you could have a rational discussion instead just trying to dismiss out of hand other people opinions. It's not like I was making some extreme statement, the truth is you just didn't like getting called out for trying to subvert the intent of what V was asking for. Personally I don't care if it bothers you or not, I'm going to give my opinion when I see something that annoys me.
Bryan Tuck
Another vote for the original OMEN for sure. OMEN 2 is okay, but it sure does get goofy after that. :)
AC5555
And Lee Remick! 😃
MertzRocks
Original Omen with Gregory Peck please! Damien: Omen 2 is also great. I also second Carrie (and also Chainsaw, though I've not seen much of it)
Ashtroga
John Carpenter's The Thing (1982)
Eric Janssen
@Lights - Oh, so nothing about my comments about blind-leading-the-blind fans who literally don’t KNOW any other movies they either lived to see in theaters or “secretly” discovered on disk when someone else showed it to them, and thought it was the only one cool film ever made? And then forced an entire other culturally amnesiac generation to experience the same twelve films they knew, because You Have to Be Like Me? Yes, that does tend to be the age when any justifiable “belittling” that you’re not curious to seek out new experiences gets only hurt-snowflake reactions that we were being “mean” in pointing out facts, tribalism of “It’s OUR favorite not yours!”, or the child’s Whatabout-ism to find out why the Mean Person was Wrong, Too.
AC5555
This.
AC5555
Yes. And Macario
AC5555
Hooah. Bell Book and Candle is also great.

V - you might also enjoy BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (1992) and MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN (1994), which are relatively faithful adaptations of the original novels. They both still take some liberties, but they're generally closer to the original works than most other versions. :)
Bryan Tuck
Also, all-out horror is not the only thing that's Halloween-appropriate. She specifically says she loves all things "Halloween, spooky, and horror." There's room for a wide variety.
LightsCameraJake
Because its a patreon and people are allowed to suggest what they want. They pay money to suggest things and watch reactions. You are not the police of this community. Its annoying. You left your suggestions in a earlier comment so dont worry about others. Vee is smart enough to know a horror movie suggestion (like the vast majority that there are here) and filter out the rest for later reactions and polls by a simple IMDB search. The only person here "wrecking other peoples fun" is you by going into other people suggestions and belittling them :)
LightsCameraJake
Great suggestion! I hope vee considers them even if not for Halloween but at some point! Pay no attention to people who feel they need to gate keep suggestions and act like the police of this community :)
LightsCameraJake
Richard, you need to take a chill pill. Its not that serious calm that fuck down. His suggestion is harmless and you need to stop being Vee's attack dog and going after patrons for simply suggesting movies to watch. Halloween themed or not, knock it off.
Eric Janssen
Because if we’re lucky, the latest James BlumWan is the only horror film they KNOW. If we’re not, they’re A24 devotees who’ve become so wrapped up in the 21st cty.’s search for “Disturbing allegorical horror as social metaphor”, they try to make every human being on the planet watch Midsommar for their own perceptual awakening. Me, I’m a Val Lewton fan, and it takes a heck of a lot more to scare ME than some snooty artsy-pants jump scares. Especially when you know jump-scares were named after the one in the ‘40 “Cat People”. 😎
Richard Maurer
Same to you.......except the picking your movie part, of course.
Richard Maurer
Peter Jackson's film Braindead (US title Dead/Alive - due to copyright problems) would be a better, and much funnier, choice - imo.
Richard Maurer
Why is it that every Halloween people feel the need to try and get whatever vaguely horror adjacent film they happen to like on Halloween horror polls? I can only assume they do it because they don't like horror, but why try and wreck everyone else's fun? Comedies, children's films, and action movies are not horror films, even when they have horror elements.
Calbert
I hope everything is go well in your life Richard and I hope V picks one of your movies you suggested. Take care.
Richard Maurer
I have just enough time to point out when people try to get films into polls where they don't belong. You saying Coraline fits what V was asking for is silly, she asked for horror films - it's not a horror film no matter how much you want it to be. That's like asking for Friday the 13th to be put in a animated children's film poll. Most of the people here are giving real horror film suggestions, so get over yourself - it's not about whatever random film you want to see.
Richard Maurer
V asked for horror movies. Not one of those is a horror movie, And they wouldn't win a poll anyway smh.
Calbert
With how much time you have devoted complaining about my suggestion (which fits what V was asking for) it seems you have a lot of free time to waste.
Richard Maurer
Hate it when people refuse to take the reactors instructions and try to jam their favorites into polls where they don't belong, It's a waste of of every bodies time. Wait for the next animated children's movie poll please.
Bryan Tuck
Can't remember if you've mentioned whether you've seen THE EXORCIST or not, but that's an easy recommendation if you're looking for classic, trendsetting horror. I also highly recommend watching the original theatrical version, rather than the extended one (sometimes called "The Version You've Never Seen" or the "Extended Director's Cut"). Sometimes they get it right the first time. :) I'm also still hoping you get a chance to check out DEATH BECOMES HER sometime. Not particularly scary, but a fun spooky comedy. :)
ButtercupsTrueLove
"30 Days of Night" (2007) Where the sun don't shine...
JeremyOnDeck
Yeah, the originals are definitely a must watch.
Bryan Tuck
I second EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE. Of all the demonic possession movies that riff on the original EXORCIST, I think that's one of the best. The courtroom drama aspects make it quite interesting. :)
Bryan Tuck
I think The Frighteners is still a lot of fun overall. The effects are maybe a little dated, but on the other hand, there are only so many ways you can visualize translucent humanoid ghosts. :)
Joe Blankenship
I don't remember disliking the director's cut, except they moved the songs around a bit, which was odd.
Joe Blankenship
She hasn't seen Texas Chainsaw, or Friday the 13th, or Nightmare on Elm St. Only classic slasher she's seen is Halloween.
Joe Blankenship
Nightmare on Elm Street. Friday the 13th. Poltergeist.
Kendall Brown
The autopsy of Jane doe is a definite one you’ve gotta watch. I love horror movies but I feel like the autopsy of Jane doe is the only one that really does the horror genre justice.
S1lm4r1l
The Abyss (1989) Not strictly "Horror" although with lots of spooky elements. Has enough intensity to get you dem sweaty palms and unnerve you.
Rob
Donnie Darko. Very young Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Do not watch director's cut
Javier Ruiz-Leon Jr.
I love October too! That's when I become a year older!
Chris Franco
One Cut of the Dead (2017) Go in blind like I did!
LightsCameraJake
Good recommendations Calbert! Coraline is a good movie and its properly themed for Halloween! :)
Long-time Sci-Fi Enthusiast
Arsenic & Old Lace 1944, Harvey 1950, Bell, Book & Candle 1958 perhaps to start the month or in between the Horrors.
Calbert
Lol whatever my guy
Richard Maurer
When you add family to horror it stops being horror.
Calbert
If you Google Coraline it’s genre is listed as Family/horror
Richard Maurer
That must be really scary. How did I miss that one?
Richard Maurer
Let the Right One In - the original Swedish version, not the US remake. Smile 30 Days of Night Sinister Ginger Snaps
Richard Maurer
I'll second The Abominable Dr. Phibes. One of my favorite classic horror movies.
Richard Maurer
She asked for horror movies.

"X" is a recent film with some definite inspiration from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It even has a prequel that they filmed at the same time, a long with a sequel in the works.
Trigzbunneh
Fear Street 1-3 fairly "new" movies on netflix maybe u havent seen those?
xBATx
Perhaps something for day of the dead (Nov. 1) Coco (2017)?
djKENTO
Blade: The first Marvel film worth a damn is also a gory vampire film starring Wesley Snipes and 25 years later it holds up great, as does it’s sequel. The Hannibal Lecter Trilogy: Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal and the prequel Red Dragon. The Craft (original): A group of high school girls start playing with magic and witchcraft and things go wrong. It’s a classic. The Guest: After a family loses their enlisted son overseas one of his friends comes to check in on them, but maybe he’s not telling the family everything he knows. Also literally takes place on Halloween. You’re Next: The best homie invasion movie of the past 15 years.

I think you mean 2017 homie.

The Omen (1976)
YodatheHobbit
IT(2007) if you haven't seen it, IT Chapter 2 if you've only seen Chapter 1. I google searched and didn't find reactions to them. If you've seen both I'll think of another movie to recommend here later.
Mastervodo
Evil Dead: Rise. We will love watching you watch this!
Chris Shine
She already did 👍
Chris Shine
If you're taking a break from BrBa, I'd say you should check out "Haunting of Hill House". It's an amazing (10 eps) miniseries. It's scary, but heads up, it will also wreck you emotionally lol. But I do think it's a masterpiece, in my opinion at least. As far as movies go, I'd suggest: The Witch, The Wailing, Hereditary, Let The Right One In, Triangle & Coherence for some more challenging ones. Or The Conjuring, Insidious, The Shining for some more conventional ones. And Shaun Of The Dead & Happy Death Day for some more fun ones.
Eric Janssen
And the usual list of October requests from the non-Wan/Blum fans, that fans have as yet seen either one or NO reactions from the Tube-verse: - Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein - The Ghost & Mr. Chicken - The Abominable Dr. Phibes (and/or Theatre of Blood) Sadly, however, Disney's "Something Wicked This Way Comes" doesn't seem to be available on D+, or anywhere else on streaming. Although it has a disk.
Mike Turp
Attack the Block

Hush (2016) is probably my favorite horror film as someone who generally doesn't like them.

Shaun of the Dead People Under the Stairs Buried
Calbert
Coraline, hocus pocus 2
Jordan Love
Cannibal! The Musical
Dale Diaz
It follows
Tony Biersack
Hereditary,Midsommar,VHS/VHS 2/VHS 94, Host, unfriended/unfriended 2, the exorcism of Emily Rose, it follows. These are the most disturbing horror movies I've ever seen that will turn ur stomach and these don't have the same cliche storylines as Conjuring imo. But hey Happy Halloween it's my birthday month hehe 😬
Jeremy Bassi
You gotta do Evil Dead 2! For some psychological horror i'd go with The lodge and The Lighthouse. Noroi: the curse (which is a personal fav) and Pulse (2001) for good asian horror. Attack the Block is another great but underated horror movie. It has John Boyega before his role as Finn in Star Wars. What we do in the shadows (2014) and One Cut of The Dead if you want horror comedy.
Stephen Lewis
The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Loosely based on the "real" exorcism of Anneliese Michel (In 1960/70s Germany) IMO the barn scene is probably the best thing about it. Evil Dead/Army of Darkness series Tucker and Dale vs Evil (scare comedy) Childs Play series Any of the Nightmare on Elm Steet or Friday the 13th series, dated and campy but still fun to watch if you've never watched them. If you've already seen these, my apologies. I'm new to this channel.
FatLittleButterfly
Nightmare before Christmas for Halloween. And as always.. Inside Out, Wreck it Ralph, Toy Story
Stephen Werben
Signs 2002 is a slower paced but cozy and spooky movie
Michael Labs
"April Fools Day" is a fun movie and I second "Psycho II" as a very good follow-up to "Psycho". "The Fog" is another one I like...
Tom Evans
Horror is not usually my favorite, but there’s one that I saw when I was a kid that made an impression — “Lady in White” (1988). And I recommend the series “The Haunting of Hill House” if you haven’t already seen it.
Richard Higgs
Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness
Andrew Riley
Doom (unrated) -2005 starring Dwayne Johnson and Karl Urban is one of my absolute guilty pleasures.
Kev Rink
Nightmare Before Christmas is my favorite Halloween movie
Matt
WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS 2014
Tyler Gorash
Psycho 2 from 1983 is a very underrated sequel! I think it does the original Psycho justice!
Ian
Exciting stuff ahead sounds like Vicky 🥳🎉 as nat just watched it I can't not recommend coraline if you've not seen it that's a travesty cuz it's a movie I know you will adore 👌 , almost daily they show the teaser for nun 2 which I've not even seen the first one but they both look perfect for October 👍 , all the scream movies are fun although it depends if you wanna be scared out your mind or just entertained 🙂 , I think you've seen cabin in the woods already I'm unsure though but lastly I gotta recommend - the strangers talk about creepy 😱
ElDoritos97
I would give my life for you to see the Final Destination saga (Or at least the second one). If you haven't seen it off screen of course. 😅
Jesse Darty
Yay! HorrAR as you pronounce it! Evil dead 2! You must! It's tradition! Your best reactions are you almost puking and trying not to get angry at how much the gore keeps ramping up and getting worse somehow
LightsCameraJake
My Recommendations: -"Cloverfield" (2008) an found footage Sci fi horror drama film built on mystery and atmosphere. You would love this movie. I wont spoil what its about for you to find out while watching. -Ill also recommend the sequels. "10 Cloverfield Lane" (2016) and "Cloverfield Paradox" (2018) These are mind bending sci fi atmospheric horror mystery films built to keep you guessing until the end. Honestly would be an amazing Sci Fi horror series for you to watch for Halloween season :) -Since its another found footage film "Paranormal Activity" (2007) -Lastly "Signs" (2002) starring Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix.
phillip giroux
The Frighteners by Peter Jackson... although I'm nor sure how well the effects have held up, and of course Evil Dead 2.
Eric Tanaka
Horror is one of the only genres of movies I can't do unfortunately 😔 but I am so happy that you are so excited for spooky times 👻 Edit: I have a few horror adjacent movies that I do actually like, and I see you haven't reacted to "Happy Death Day" or "Happy Death Day 2 U" The first is more of a play on the traditional slasher and pokes fun at it while the second almost genre shifts. Very fun movies with a great leading performance from Jessica Rothe
