How it works
- Random horror film from a curated list of 150+ titles spanning classics to recent releases.
- Filter by sub-genre (slasher, supernatural, body horror, psychological, found footage, comedy horror).
- Filter by decade if you only want classics or only modern releases.
Why use this tool
- Horror is the most filter-needed genre — slasher fans don't want psychological, psych fans don't want jump scares.
- Curated to titles that genuinely work — we exclude the 90% of bad slasher cycle and keep the standouts.
- Mix of well-known (The Shining) and underwatched (Pulse, House) to expand your horror canon.
When to use it
- Halloween night — pick by sub-genre, queue up 3-4 for a marathon.
- Solo horror evening — pick by mood (psychological for thinking, slasher for vibes).
- Friend horror night — spin in front of the group, watch what it picks.
FAQ

Are these scary or "mild" horror?
Spread across the range. Filter by sub-genre — slasher and supernatural lean harder; comedy-horror and psychological are gentler.
Family-suitable horror picks?
