My wife and I love to binge watch scary movies in October. Looking for stuff that’s truly scary and not just gore. Watcha got?

Host.

It’s a pandemic movie, and it was EXTREMELY well done. Not “well done for a pandemic movie” but “holy shit that’s an excellent movie, period”. And SCARY. Not just gore, there’s actually very little of that, it just ramps the atmosphere up perfectly.

I don’t think I’ve seen it mentioned in this thread so far, so I may suggest: Some nature documentaries, particularly more recent ones, can be pretty scary, and beutufulaa and intresting too, but also scary (and not particularly gory, that’s nit generally the focus) . Dread/state-of-tge-climate sort of scary, among others, and no less scary for that I think. Nature documentary movies.

Some hosted by Netflix, are free on their yt cahnnel, i think.

If you’re looking for a mental kind of creepy, The Haunting of Emily Rose is quite scary.

It’s got jump scares kind of, but it leaves room for your own imagination. Very minimal blood and gore.
