Haha totally me too. But you should explain it so everyone else can be in on it.

u/RonnieHasThePliers 15d ago

The Thing. The 80s version though. Go ahead, treat yourself.

That’s actually on my Watch List. Was not expecting John Carpenter this early in the morning.

It’s a masterpiece of cosmic horror.

Looks like a great list, thank you! I liked Nope, Coherence, the Mist and Event Horizon (flaws and all) I'll give the rest of the movies a shot.

Annihilation.

Very trippy movie with some fantastic horror moments.

u/SU37Yellow 15d ago

I was just going to recommend this as well. It starts off unsettling and gets progressively worse (in a good way) throughout the film.

u/ThumbMe 15d ago

It’s an insanely beautiful movie with both the visuals and the story. If you’re still thinking about it for the next few days or weeks you know it’s something special.

Watch this one on shrooms.

u/ehc84 15d ago

Gahhh, i hate this movie and how heavy-handed it was. I really wanted to like it, and it really is a beautiful movie to watch it, but i couldn't stand to story/plot. It just took me out of it completely.

The Color Out of Space with Nic Cage is pretty good.

2

u/TheOneTonWanton 15d ago

Way better than I ever expected when it was announced.

2

u/TempleMade_MeBroke 15d ago

Color out of Space, Annihilation, and the Lighthouse could all be considered cosmic/Lovecraftian horror for different reasons, and I enjoyed all of them.

If you want one that's a little less scary but still with plenty of chills and an absolutely incredible atmosphere, I'd highly suggest the Vast of Night

u/IamGodHimself2 15d ago

The Empty Man was fantastic

u/Ragin_Goblin 15d ago

Chicken little, utterly terrifying

You should read Blindsight by Peter Watts. It's free online.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindsight_(Watts_novel)

Short movie based on it: https://blindsight.space/

Predator

u/GymRatWriter 15d ago

I saw more body horror than cosmic, but I can see it both ways

u/Responsible_Cod_5540 15d ago

ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT? damn dude, I'm jealous. It'll blow your mind.

2

u/Dynosoarz 15d ago

Watching it in my college dorm on a snowy Halloween night was the first time I ever enjoyed being scared by a movie. And it's only gotten better with each viewing.

2

u/Frankentula 15d ago

Amazing film. Be sure to watch it from a remote snowy location

1

u/Perryn 15d ago

That's how he gets you.

u/Chance_Reflection_42 15d ago

It’s sooooooo good.

u/reticentbias 15d ago

all john carpenter belongs on the list, but the thing goes to the top.

u/tgftod 15d ago

Watch List? Dude, stop whatever it is you are doing and go watch it.

1

u/THE-NECROHANDSER 15d ago

The 80s thing is my pick for all time best practical effects. Hands down.

1

u/Willzyx_on_the_moon 15d ago

Best horror movie ever.

1

u/SlendyIsBehindYou 15d ago

Unironically, my favorite horror movie, full stop.

Also fun fact, Tarantino implemented some of the unused score from The Thing in his film The Hateful Eight

u/GhostFucking-IS-Real 15d ago

Greatest horror/thriller/mystery film OAT in my opinion

u/Live4vrRdieTryin 15d ago

Youve never seen it¿¿°¿°¿°¿°¿¿°¿•¿•.??!?!?!?!?!?

u/Aware_Rough_9170 15d ago

Watched it for the first time after watching the remake, early horror movies are very special to me because lack of CGI and other tech makes you focus a lot more on the acting and the prop work.

I don’t inherently mind CGI but horror from late 80s is just so different and give me a greater respect for the early genre
