I am a big fan of classic style horror and have little use for gore fests. Though I thought the first “Scream” was a very good movie. I watched “Sinners” last night and its take on the Vampire movie was excellent.

Horror does have several subgenres so it helps to narrow down what types of horror you like or dislike if any. I am very fond of classic spooky movies. These are often in black and white and involve very little gore but a lot of psychological suspense. Some favorites,
“The Innocents.”
“The Uninvited”
“The Haunting.”
“Rebecca” maybe not thought of as horror but at heart it is a ghost story.
“The Old Dark House”
“Dracula”
I know there are more but it’s late and my brain is fitzy.
Another fave genre of mine is science fiction horror The ones that come to mind are,
“Invaders from Mars.”
“Alien”
“Gojira”

If you don’t like horror I suggest checking out Mystery Science Theatre 3000 or RiffTrax. It’s a great way to enjoy the the Sci Fi and Horror B movies that kept Dialing For Dollars on our TV screens way back when.

The Old Dark House is a gem of a film. James Whale was a genius.
