  1. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, or advocating violence will be removed.

  2. Be civil: disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally insult others.

  3. Spam, self promotion, trolling, and bots are not allowed

  4. Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem.

    Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.

    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your post/comment being removed and/or more severe actions. All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed.

Movies that actually left me feeling unnerved:

The Witch

Bone Tomahawk

The Babadook

XTRO

The Hills Have Eyes (1977)

Top "fun" or interesting but not haunting horror movies:

Alien

The Thing

Friday The 13th Part 6

Evil Dead 2

House (1985)

(A lot of runner ups in the fun category, including basically all of the Jeffery Combs catalog, but I'm not even sure those can be considered "horror" instead of comedy with horror trappings. Similar to Dead Heat and the like.)

The Witch and Bone Tomahawk are absolute classics. now I guess I'll have to watch your other recommendations

House and House II are classics, nice to see a human with some taste

I had to look up House, I was only familiar with the Japanese one. I'll check it out.
