Oh, cool! I'm sure there will be a lot of classic Universal monster movies suggested, but truly the best one in terms of writing, directing, acting, cinematography and music my first sugfestion is THE WOLF MAN (1941l with gads of Halloween atmosphere enveloping it.
My suggestions: - "Christine" - A John Carpenter film that is just perfect for Halloween. Obsessive love developed to a deadly level and really cool paranormal forces at large. - "Play Misty For Me" - Another take at deadly jealous and possessive love, and Clint Eastwood's first film as a director. - "Death Becomes Her" - Crazy killers can be fun too! This is a 1992 film directed by Robert Zemeckis. A supernatural dark comedy with lots violence that is so over the top and silly, that it becomes funny.
For your October viewing pleasure, may I suggest: Phantom of the Opera (1925/1929) Island of Lost Souls (1932) Curse of the Demon (1957) The Quartermass and the Pit (1967) Angel Heart (1987) Jacob's Ladder (1990) The Others (2001)
"Mad Love" starring Peter Lorre. He plays a mad scientist who performs a hand transplant that goes terribly wrong. Keye Luke plays his assistant. I think you'd like it.
Next suggestion ~ NIGHT OF THE DEMON (1957) aka CURSE of the Demon in the U.S. (but has about 12 minutes cut). We're talking Halloween right? Movies that feel Halloweenish not just monster mayhem yes? Can't go wring with this horror masterpiece.
Cat People (1942) is a must. Ghostbusters and Gremlins were both awesome. The People Under the Stairs and Martyrs are 2 more modern great horror films.
You could do comparisons between original movies and remakes, like Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) versus Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), or The Thing from Another World (1951) versus The Thing (1982), or The Fly (1958) versus The Fly (1986). Another option would be to simply work your way through the best of the Universal Studios monster movies: Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), The Mummy (1932), The Wolf Man (1941), and Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954). Still another option would be to watch some silent horror movies: Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922), The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), The Golem (1915), and Faust (1926).
The Universal 1930s/40s horror cycle is iconic... Dracula (1931, Tod Browning) Frankenstein (1931, James Whale) The Mummy (1932, Karl Freund) The Invisible Man (1933, James Whale) Bride of Frankenstein (1935, James Whale) Dracula's Daughter (1936, Lambert Hillyer) Son of Frankenstein (1939, Rowland V. Lee) The Invisible Man Returns (1940, Joe May) The Wolf Man (1941, George Waggner) The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942, Erle C. Kenton) Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943, Roy William Neill) Son of Dracula (1943, Robert Siodmak) House of Frankenstein (1944, Erle C. Kenton) House of Dracula (1945, Erle C. Kenton) Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948, Charles Barton, Walter Lantz) This is by no means a complete list! But one request I have is that you watch the first three Frankenstein movies (Frankenstein, Bride... and Son...) and then watch Mel Brooks' brilliant parody YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974)
👨🏻🤏🏼🪓 HUSH HUSH SWEET CHARLOTTE (1964)!!!! It’s a mystery-thriller set in an old ramshackle Southern Plantation. It’s suspenseful, gory, atmospheric, and at times very funny. Perfect cast featuring former stars from Hollywood’s Golden Era: Bette Davis, Olivia DeHavilland, Agnes Moorhead, Joseph Cotten, Mary Astor and more. You won’t be disappointed and bafflingly NO ONE reacts to it. Please be the first!
Some nice creepy titles. “Dead of Night” (1945) Anthology horror from Ealing Studios. “Les Diaboliques” (1955) French classic by HG Clouzot. “Don’t Look Now” Directed by Nicolas Roeg based on story by Daphne du Maurier. Most of David Lynch’s films.
I've watched "Les Diaboliques" and I think it's a great thriller/horror movie 👍🏻. My reaction to it is only on Patreon though, so I understand why you thought I haven't watched it 😊
I can think of one that would be on brand for you. But good luck finding it lol. The Night That Panicked America (1975 TV Film) About the night that Orson Welles did his War of the Worlds Halloween broadcast. Edit: Night of the Living Dead (1968) George Romero giving the world the modern zombie genre. Train to Busan (2016) South Korean zombie hit. One Cut of the Dead (2017) Zombie movie movie. Do not research. Watch it totally blind. There is a reason the rating is so high. Cannot recommend highly enough. Cabin in the Woods (2012) A great video for reactions.
"Arsenic and Old Lace" (1944).
"Clue" from 1985
"House on Haunted Hill" with Vincent Price
Oh, cool! I'm sure there will be a lot of classic Universal monster movies suggested, but truly the best one in terms of writing, directing, acting, cinematography and music my first sugfestion is THE WOLF MAN (1941l with gads of Halloween atmosphere enveloping it.
Please watch Arsenic and Old Lace. You’ll love it ❤
"Bell, Book and Candle" 1958 with James Stewart (and Jack Lemmon among others)
My suggestions:
- "Christine" - A John Carpenter film that is just perfect for Halloween. Obsessive love developed to a deadly level and really cool paranormal forces at large.
- "Play Misty For Me" - Another take at deadly jealous and possessive love, and Clint Eastwood's first film as a director.

"Club Dread" with Bill Paxton - funny scary movie, 2004. And from 1932, the classic, "Freaks."
Two older horror films that gave me nightmares when I was a kid: The Legend of Hell House (1973) and The Innocents (1961).

Ah good to know. Is the format same as here or is it a watch-along style?
It'll be like watching my reactions here 😊
1960 The Innocents
1946 The Spiral Staircase
1971 Let's Scare Jessica to Death
1973 The Legend of Hell House
1962 Carnival of Souls
Last suggestion ~ CARNIVAL OF SOULS (1962) is ultra low-budget yet so sinisterly atmospheric and I mean, read the title. Halloweeny or what?
a fun horror comedy from 1999 'Idle Hands' Devon (from Final Destination) Seth Green nd Jessica Alba 👍
"The Nightmare Before Christmas" it's a stop motion animation
I can think of one that would be on brand for you. But good luck finding it lol.

I would love for you to react to the original “the omen” (1976) if you haven’t seen it already. It’s my favourite classic horror film.
The Gate (1987)
