Me and my partner never really watched any horror movies, and now, when nearing our 40’s, we’ve been watching at least one classic every day. So far the best have been Scream, Color Out of Space and Aliens. So many to watch still before the month ends.
Evil Dead’s a good series for what you’re doing. The first one is peak no-budget horror that hints at Sam Raimi’s style. The second is why everyone remembers the name. The third is good stupid fun.
The Ring is plain horror. Bleak visuals, intense tone, flawless audio, fucked up a microgeneration. A+, would recommend. Heavily localized from a Japanese original in a way that feels… domestic. It’s why movies like The Grudge got remade for Americans, but the only hint it’s foreign was that it’s not about real estate.
Scream is so good. I had never seen it and was left guessing until the end.

Scream was very funny and scary.
Have you seen The Ring?
Not yet. The next two movies are going to be Evil Dead and It Follows, maybe after?

Evil Dead was amazing. Very nicely done for the low budget. Watching the two others and maybe the recent TV series too after this.
The Ring is waiting in the queue.
Then during rewatches you can spend the time guessing which ghostface did what.
