It’s horror movie season in the US and my favorite type is zombies. I also love campy B movies. Watching Dead Snow 2 right now and I think it ranks up there with Shawn of the Dead and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness.
What is your top pick for whatever genre?
Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010) and The Cabin in the Woods (2012) (go in spoiler-free with this one) are both good comedy horror.
I was not prepared for how good Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is!

Event Horizon
Society
Oh baby, time to proselytize the masses of Lemmy and introduce a whole new set of suckers to “Fido”. It’s zombies with big Fallout vibes and is unironically one of the best C to B tier movies I’ve ever seen. It’s the kind of movie where it looks like everyone involved was just having fun with it, ya know? Check it out and make sure to let me know what you think!
Bonus points for Billy Connolly.
I just read the description on IMDB, and good lord what a fever dream. But the real selling point for me is the disembodied head of Billy Connolly being a loyal companion to a family. Consider me signed up.
John Dies at the End is a good b/c/campy movie. It is absolutely not 1:1 to the books (which are good) but its a weird fun movie.
‘This door can NOT be opened!’
One of my favourite books ever! So funny!
Hereditary is my favourite supernatural horror film
The thing is my favourite Sci fi horror film
Ufff Toni Colette was great in it! It is one of my favorite movies too.
Signs (2002) is my favorite horror movie to watch during spooky season. While it was mocked so perfectly in Scary Movie 3, I feel like the atmosphere it creates is still so unnerving. The humor in the movie adds an element of B movie campiness to an otherwise serious movie.
Cabin in the Woods (2011) disassembles the horror tropes in a hilarious way. Inspired by the Evil Dead movies.
After I saw Signs the first time, I started carrying a steel mop handle around my apartment and next to my bed at night.
Aliens really get to me from when I watched X-files as a kid, and this movie did it nicely.
Aliens fucked me up as a kid. I watched the first half of Independence Day with my parents when I was 7 and I couldn’t sleep for weeks lmao
The shining. I watch it every year at the first snow. I’m afraid I won’t get that chance this year.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974 Alien Paranormal Activity (first one) V/H/S Train to Busan Children of the corn Frozen (about three skiers - not sure if this counts) Saw Orphan
The original Night of the living Dead is way up there for vanilla zombie horror. 28 days later for modern zombies.
Thankskilling and Jack Frost for B movie holiday horror.
100% Nope: A episode from supernatural, where ghouls half way succeed to eat Sam. (I consider it as the most gruesome horror I have ever seen, and I don’t think I have the stomach to see it ever again. The blood draining is a … no.)
Yellow brick road on otherhand hits the weird places spot of SCP, which I can’t get enough. (not horror really, but still)
Suspiria (2018)
It’s not a movie, rather a game: Layers of Fear
We played it at a friend (well, he played and we watched) back in… 2018? Or maybe 19?
Long story short, I try to forget it to experience it again later in 2030.
Difficult to pick one, but Annihilation is up there.
The books are fantastic as well.
