🧛🏽‍♀️🧟‍♀️👹Horror Movies for Beginners🦇💀👻

Disclaimer: This is something I'm doing for fun and because I've had people in the past ask me for suggestions for people who are interested in horror but are too scared to get into it. I'll be adding more to this list as I think of more.

Tips: For one thing, I would suggest checking doesthedogdie.com before watching any horror movie. It's a great source for triggers ahead of time. The people who contribute to it can be very helpful too, as they sometimes provide timestamps as to where in the movie the triggers take place so you can skip over them.

I would also suggest horror comedies, as they provide humor to lessen the blow of the scary stuff.

Spooky Movies for Beginners

Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, Ghostbusters (2016)

Yes, I am including 2016. No, I am not ashamed to like that version. No, I will not be taking criticism. I did not include Afterlife because I have not seen it yet. That aside, I do recommend the Ghostbusters movies listed. The movies contain a balance of horror and comedy and cool science-fiction tech. They're fun, but not too scary for beginners.

Haunted Mansion (2003)

Most of the "scares" in this movie aren't really scary. If you've been to Disneyland and can ride through the attraction with no problems, you can probably get through this movie. It's geared more towards families, so if you have kids, they'll probably enjoy watching it with you. However, there is an anti-Romani slur used repeatedly throughout the movie. Also, proceed with caution if you have a fear of spiders.

Coraline (2009)

This movie is animated but contains a lot of creepy imagery. Some kids might get creeped out by it. If you like "rabbit hole" type movies that involve stumbling upon hidden and treacherous worlds, you'll probably like it. Henry Selick, the dude who made Nightmare Before Christmas, is responsible for this film adaptation.

Wendell and Wild (2022)

Another animated movie from Henry Selick with Jordan Peele. Two mischievous demons cause havoc. Peele and Kegan-Michael Key play the demons. Oh, and it's a middle finger to private prisons and the school-to-prison pipeline, so there's that. If you're too afraid to watch Get Out, Us, or Nope, but want to experience the horror magic Peele, you will probably enjoy this one.

The Sixth Sense (1999)

I'm hesitant to put this one on the list because this one does contain disturbing imagery that can be too much for a beginner. But this is a really solid movie even if the ending has already been spoiled for you. How scary the ghosts are really isn't what this movie is all about--the themes of grief and healing are really what it's about.

Gremlins (1984) and Gremlins II: A New Batch (1990)

When I was a kid, my parents thought they could scare me into behaving by saying the gremlins from these movies were going to get me. But I loved the gremlins because they were fun and I wanted to be their friends lol. If you like practical effects, you'll probably like this movie. I don't think these movies would be scary for most adults, but kids might be a little iffy with the gremlins--but Gizmo is adorable and might be able to balance out the scariness. However, there is some...questionable Asian representation typical of 80's movies. Proceed with caution.

Warm Bodies (2013)

This movie was released when the Twilight craze was at its height and I remember being shit-talk about that, but this movie is worth watching. Yes, it is about a zombie falling in love with a living human, but it really is adorable (in my opinion) and the movie is overall clever and fun. I will say that there are some parts that might be a little too much for beginners. The "bonies" might be a little too scary. However, the "scary" parts are very brief and they are not the center of the story.

To be continued...

Escape Room

☽ 6.5 / 10

☽ A simple story but very interesting

☽ For beginners? Yes!

☽ TW/ none

☽ Very suspenseful with a lot of twists

☽ Personally I found that there’s something missing, even though it is a suspenseful movie it’s not crazy good

i think they would have an insta that they share. a lot of the stuff they post is just them messing around in the woods with emocore/scenecore vibes and grungy filters.

hi mr flanagan

im from uruguay and ive always felt like even though i love horror movies, theres a different sort of feeling urban legends, folklore and just the exploration of horror (in literature mostly) when it comes to latin america.

while im sure this is completely normal to everyone whos not from the u.s because well, culture and heritage, i was wondering if you like any foreign horror films? if so, which are you favourites?

english is not my first language so im hoping ive got my point across...

much love

Oh my gods yes - I think overall that they represent some of the most exciting filmmaking out there. Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order: A TALE OF TWO SISTERS THIRST MARTYRS THE ORPHANAGE THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE REC THE WAILING RINGU AUDITION LAKE MUNGO LET THE RIGHT ONE IN THE HOST CRONOS SUSPIRIA TRAIN TO BUSAN JU-ON A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT HOUSE (1977) PULSE And I'm certain I'm forgetting a ton of great ones, sound off in the comments

#horror movies #foreign horror #international film #sometimes people ask me to recommend easy entry-level horror for beginners and I recommend MARTYRS I'm a bad person

Here is the statement I wrote on my Slaughter Avatar. Jasper Sutton more commonly referred to as ‘The Jagged Blade’. Constructive criticism helps immensely as an aspiring author, updates to this project may be inconsistent as I primary focus on my supernatural horror novel which I’ve named ‘Project Psyche’. I am hoping to go the traditional publishing route so information on said project shall be limited.

The next Avatars shall be:

- Web

- Spiral

Thought I’d include some disclaimers because slaughter typically gets messy (See Below)

<a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/54390121">The Jagged Blade</a> (2358 words) by <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/users/Artysal">Artysal</a> Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/tags/The%20Magnus%20Archives%20(Podcast)">The Magnus Archives (Podcast)</a>, <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/tags/The%20Magnus%20Protocol%20(Podcast)">The Magnus Protocol (Podcast)</a> Rating: Explicit Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Characters: Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist, The Slaughter (The Magnus Archives) Additional Tags: Implied/Referenced Torture, Minor Character Death, Animal Death Summary: An avatar at the heart of the slaughter strikes a deal with the archivist offering his statement for an unknown favour in return.

Snippet:

“I like to think of The Slaughter as very versatile. I feel I help many of the powers. Does The Desolation not delight at the pain left down my path? the grief and suffering of those who know my victims. Does The Corruption not squirm through the decaying corpses? Patiently waiting to spread the filth to whoever is unlucky enough to find them. Is The Stranger not tickled by my performance of a wounded man looking for shelter? And with my unending torment are they not pushed towards The Spiral? Or close enough to death they can almost taste The End itself? And does The Eye not revel in the chance to know that fear?”

Content/Trigger Warnings

- References to Animal Harm (no direct depiction because I don’t want to write that)

- Graphic References of Murder, Torture (a lot of it)

- mentions of infested corpses

- references to manipulation

- if you find any more tags/ warning that I haven’t added please let me know and they will be updated accordingly :)
