    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.

My wife and I love to binge watch scary movies in October. Looking for stuff that's truly scary and not just gore. Watcha got?

Psychological:

A deaf woman is stalked by a serial killer who believes she is the perfect victim, but she strikes back and starts to hunt him. Mild gore, but more thrilling.


A woman escapes her abusive husband, only to be stalked by an invisible foe.


A woman (apparently I need to start every entry like that) is killed by a motel owner, her sister and her lover try to find her.

Notable mentions: Psycho 2 and Psycho 4, but not Psycho 3, which sucks harder than a ladybug sucks on an aphid.


After a one-night stand, a traveling photographer is locked in the apartment of her lover, and he keeps her hostage.


Julia's blind twin sister commits suicide. She travels to the city and stays, only to be stalked by a mysterious man. Not helped by having the same genetic illness her sister had, and quickly going blind.


Paranormal:

A family moves into a haunted house, and Ed and Lorraine Warren need to save them.


A boy gets a Good Guy-doll gifted for his birthday, murders start to happen around him.


A jackal in a zoo delivers a human baby, it is quickly replaced with the baby of a politician, and little Damian will do Damian things.

Honorable mention: Omen 2, but not Omen 3.


A woman and her husband move into a new apartment, he quickly becomes friends with the eccentric neighbors, and she nearly loses her mind.


A traveling merchant picks a rose in a beautiful garden. A beast appears and asks for his daughter as a punishment for stealing from him.


Edit: Somehow The Frighteners got deleted.

Michael J Fox sees ghosts, has a successful business in swindling people to get rid of ghosts, finally has to get rid of a murderous ghost.
