It's the spooky season, what are your recommended movies (and other media) for the season that aren't gory horror or kids movies?
My SO and I are always looking for good movies, shows, etc. to fill the month of October. We like things that are atmospheric, cerebral, or just fun. But a lot of the standard recommendations are your typical slasher movies and the like, disgusting body horror, kids movies that we have no interest in, and things that are just plain miserable.
Here's some things we've liked to one degree or another from previous years.
Action Horror / Horror That's Actually Enjoyable
Aliens
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Fright Night
Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters
The Mummy (1999)
Silence of the Lambs
Sleepy Hollow (Great? No. Fun? Yes.)
Termors 1 & 2
Various Stephen King Mini series (IT, The Stand, Rose Red)
Funny and Spooky
Army of Darkness
BeetleJuice
Bubba Ho-Tep
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie)
The Burbs (didn't love it, but a good fit)
Death Becomes Her
The Frighteners
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
Ghostbusters 1 & 2
Gremlins 1 & 2
High Anxiety
Little Shop of Horrors (not really into musicals, but still a good fit)
Shaun of the Dead
What We Do in the Shadows (movie)
Various MST3K horror movie episodes
Young Frankenstein
Anthology Shows(inherently hit or miss)
The Twilight Zone (60s)
The Outer Limits (90s)
Tales From the Crypt
Old Timey Classics
Dracula
Frankenstein (actually underwhelming, but it was a good fit)
The Haunting (1963)
The Haunting of Hill House (with Rifftrax, but still counts)
Scream Blacula Scream Some regard this as the worst blaxploitation movie. Considering the genre consist primarily of low budget movies with very short filming schedules that's a fairly damning indictment but I think it can be enjoyed for what it is if you have an interest in this type of cinema.
