In honor of Clive Barker's 74th birthday today, I've been watching his films all day long.
I'm finishing with The Midnight Meat Train. As I'm sitting here engulfed by the story and the gore, I thought about how underrated this film is.
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but I feel like this film isn't talked about as much as should be.
What's everyone else's take on The Midnight Meat Train?
What's your favorite Clive Barker film?
I love when a horror film drops subtle background details, foreshadowing, or small clues that you completely miss the first time around until you know the twist.
Which horror film gave you a totally different experience when you watched it again?
Se viene Halloween. tienen pensado ver alguna pelicula de terror? o hay alguna que miren siempre para esta temporada? en mi caso es toda la saga de Halloween
Y’all I gotta question: so as a Christian, I know anything dark we should not have any interest, curiosity what not in, but the new horror movie, “The Other Mommy,” should I go watch it? I’ve heard it’s similar to Coraline (my obsession atm) and I’ve seen trailers of it and I’ve been wanting to go see it. What do y’all think?
I built a corpus of 500 horror films spanning 1913 to 2025, tagged the story elements in each (what threatens, who suffers, how it ends, the rules, and more), and trained a graph model on the whole network. This chart compares films made before 1980 (n=126) with films since 2000 (n=269).
The biggest shifts:
Families moved to the centre. Horror that falls on families and parents rose from 35% to 49%; horror that falls on spouses and lovers fell from 47% to 25%.
The evil wins more often. Endings where the evil is destroyed fell from 36% to 20%; endings where it's passed on rose from 3% to 13%.
The rules got harsher. "A fatal weakness" (the silver bullet) fell from 27% to 18%; "everything has a price" rose from 6% to 16%.
The restless dead doubled, from 10% to 22%, while blood drinkers fell from 11% to 4%.

I like it but it's difficult to find a movie that really transports me, let me know your fav horror movies and recommandations !
A little explication of why you liked/recommend this would be great 😊
Does anyone have good horror movie recommendations that are good but also actually scary
The last two are tied for last.
Am I wrong ?
It's a pet peeve of mine for movies to be called "Halloween movies" purely because they're horror movies when they have nothing to do with Halloween. So I keep a running list of movies that are actual Halloween movies, and I have a tradition with my sister to watch some every year. But I've hit a point where I can't find many that I haven't seen yet that aren't super cheesy Tubi movies (which we also don't mind watching but we can only do so many without also getting a good one in there). So please list as many movies you can think of that actually take place on or near Halloween time or mention Halloween in some capacity. I think my list is pretty comprehensive but I'm really hoping someone can think of one that I haven't found yet.
not scary exactly. just disturbing. the kind that stays with you for days after.
mine would be irreversible but i want to know what everyone else says
is there any new horror movie releases coming soon? like for halloween specifically
Hey guys, anyone have any amazing horror movies currently on any streaming platform that would be great to watch on this rainy Sunday night? Thanks.
The pattern was originally by UnaBuenaPieza. Full of horror icons from some of my favorite movies and books.
Green room, It follows & Life Are some of my favorite horror Movies.
Can you recommend me similar Movies?
Long shot, but I am looking for a horror film where there is a sudden jump in the story back in time or at least to some alternate world where a blue warrior is doing multiple cartwheels in front of a background that bursts into flames. I think it was Japanese.
This scene stuck out to me as being very unexpected in the film and also very intense.
