They recently added a bunch of A24, and still have plenty of old classics, found footage, low budget stuff, forgotten gems, international movies. It's genuinely wild to me how Tubi manages to outdo a lot of other streaming apps, including ones that specialize in horror.

Just a sample I wrote up for some friends on what they have:

Dark Night of the Scarecrow, Children of the Corn, Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer, Ready or Not, Terrifier 1 and 2 (maybe 3 Imay have missed it), Prom Night 1 and 2, I Know What You Did Last Summer, X, Pearl, Hush, The Stepfather, My Bloody Valentine, Slumber Party Massacre, Maniac, Wrong Turn, Hills Have Eyes, Driller Killer, Christine, multiple versions of Carrie, Insidious, American Werewolf in London, Noroi the Curse, Ringu, The Descent, Midsommar, Heretic, Hellraiser, Reanimator, The Blackening, Teeth, all the Rec movies, You're Next, May, Suspiria, the Leprechaun movies, the Cube movies, Martyrs, Elvira, 1408, Event Horizon, Frailty, Triangle, The Invitation, The Lodge, Evil Dead 2013, Phantasm, Peeping Tom, The Blob, Blood and Black Lace, Sleepaway Camp, Pumpkinhead, a ton of Vincent Price flicks.

That's not even counting TV series. They have Tales from the Crypt, Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark, multiple Scooby Doo series, Haunting Hour, the Creepshow series, Beyond Belief Fact or Fiction, Freddy's Nightmares, Unsolved Mysteries.

If this isn't allowed or isn't good for discussion, feel free to remove. I just checked back in after a while of not watching TV and was shocked by their selection lol.

Just saw Conjuring Last Rites and some wonderful parents thought it would be a great idea to bring their children (definitely no older than 5) to this movie. They were screaming and sobbing throughout most of the movie until they either left or were kicked out around 75% into the film. The kids were also running up and down the aisles several times.

Extremely distracting and unacceptable. Not only this, the parents were constantly snickering at the kids to “shut up”. Sure the conjuring isn’t the most violent or scary movie but it’s is absolutely unacceptable to bring a 4 year old kid to this and it’s borderline child abuse. Theaters should ban small children from movies like this, even with their parents.

Theres barely any media coverage on it in france and the few articles on it are behind paywalls so i'd thought making a post in english would be important. (Sorry if my english isnt perfect)

In septembre of 2020, while shooting his movie "King", David allegedly forced himself on multiple occasions onto a drunk female technician at an after shooting party, wich was at a beach. She fells onto some rocks, injured her head so badly she started bleeding but David allegedly insisted on not calling for medics. David allegedly goes with her to her hotel, pins her wrists, force himself onto her despite he protests, and leaves her alone, she'll wake up terrified with dried up blood all over her. She filed a complaint in 2020 the day after the accident, wich ended up being dismissed, she filled another complaint back in july fo 2025. David was left out the rest of King's shooting and Post-Production.

I find it crazy no one's talking about it.

Julia is genuinely one of the funniest examples of dickmatization I've ever seen put to film.

Because imagine cheating on your husband with his brother, marrying your husband anyway, and YEARS later you're still so hung up on the brother that when you find him in the attic with no skin you're like...well maybe we can make this work.

Girl.

Frank isn't even hot anymore. Frank doesn't have SKIN.

And Julia is still down bad.

Then he tells her he needs blood to rebuild himself and instead of realizing that maybe the universe has given her several very obvious signs that this relationship isn't meant to be, she starts bringing men home and murdering them.

Mind you Larry is downstairs thinking they're having marital problems. Sir, your marital problems are currently eating a man in the attic.

And Julia is doing all of this because Frank keeps promising they'll be together again once he's restored. She's basically running a human DoorDash service for her undead side piece because the dick was apparently THAT life-changing.

The Cenobites and the puzzle box weren't Julia's problem. Julia's problem was that she couldn't leave good dick in the past.

Hellraiser could've been avoided with one girlfriend taking Julia aside and saying "stand up."

I’ll go first. Jason X is genuinely one of the most entertaining Friday the 13th movies and I’ll die on that hill.

Jason in space sounds ridiculous, but that’s what makes it so fun. It doesn’t try to take itself seriously and just goes completely off the rails.

What’s yours?

Sometimes the scariest part of a horror movie isn't what you see, it's what you realise afterwards.
What's the most disturbing implication you've picked up on in a horror movie that the film never actually spells out?
(Spoiler tags appreciated.)

Do I have supersonic hearing, or has cinema etiquette completely fallen off a cliff?

I genuinely can’t tell if I’m just easily irritated or if cinema etiquette has gotten a lot worse over the years.

The last film I saw was *Obs Session, and I found myself noticing the audience more than the film. People were talking during scenes, someone kept kicking the back of my seat, phone screens were constantly lighting up, and there was endless rustling from food packaging.

Maybe I’m just sensitive to it, but once I notice a noise or distraction, it’s hard to focus on anything else.

It’s got to the point where I’m actually putting off seeing films I’m excited about such as *bkrooms because I don’t want the experience ruined by other people I just want to be fully immersed is that too much to ask?

Am I being unreasonable, or have cinemas become a lot worse for this lately?

*code name used for film as there is no spoilers.

John Carpenter has added to his own statements about the ending with MacReady and Childs.

1. “Yes, one of them was a thing.” - 2012 tweet on X

2. “Every idea that people have is not the right one. I know the right one. It’s right in the movie too. There is a big clue. No one has guessed it.”- new Oct 18 2026 interview interview on X

This squashes some of the most widely held fan theories (shared bottle passing germs, gas in the bottle, breath/eye lighting). Basically anything you’ve seen on YouTube so far is ruled out.

My own new theory to contribute (searched and haven’t seen this proposed yet).

If MacReady had become infected then he would have retrieved the warning tape recording he previously created and hid, and destroyed it. The fact that he lets the tape stay hidden until the end proves he isn’t the thing. It must be Childs.

I quite literally jumped out of my seat at the 34:55 mark of ep 8 of Hill House. I think about it all the time.

what jumpscare permanently altered your brain chemistry?

I’m hard pressed to name even five movies that have this outcome - am I just missing it, or is this a serious “flaw” in our horror movie repertoire?

I’d love to see everyone’s list any that might not be super well known!

Edit: wow! I got more replies than I expected! Thank you all so much. I fully intend on going through all your recs in detail. From what I’ve seen in the comments at first glance I’m finding a lot of new ones to check out and reminders of some older ones I forgot about!

Okay, I’m doing an October horror marathon and rewatching The Cabin in the Woods, and I’m irritated that nobody expanded this universe,!!!

I don’t even want a traditional sequel. Leave the ending alone. Go backward

.

The movie literally showed us that these rituals have been happening all over the world for YEARS. So why have we never gotten those stories?!

Give me Japan’s ritual. Them creepy kids are everything!!

Give me a ritual from the 1970s where the Facility is running everything with analog equipment! Like not computers!!!

Give me the year somebody picked the damn merman!!!!!

Give me a ritual where everything goes wrong and the Facility barely manages to contain it.

Show me how they captured all those monsters in the first place.

And most importantly: that basement was basically an entire franchise sitting on shelves. Every object represented another possible nightmare. What happens if somebody chooses the music box instead? The conch shell? The film projector? Something we barely noticed?

Each movie could start as a completely different horror subgenre—slasher, supernatural, creature feature, folk horror, J-horror, whatever. Different country. Different decade. Different characters.

And then somewhere during the movie you realize:

Oh shit. This is another Facility ritual.

THAT is the franchise I want.

They could even make it an anthology series instead of movies. Don’t resurrect the original characters. Don’t undo the ending. Just show us the decades of absolutely insane shit that happened before that cabin.

Am I the only one who would watch the hell out of this?

And which ritual/monster/object would you want them to do first?

Let's get this thing going cuz, I need this franchise in my life!!!!

For someone like me who thinks the real-life Paris Catacombs are cool AF, this movie really scratched an itch. But even if the whole thing had been set in a completely fictional underground labyrinth, it’s still just a damn fun horror movie.

Sure, there are some silly elements that don’t hold up to much scrutiny—the pseudo-archeology, some of the ridiculous translations, etc.—but none of that bothered me enough to understand why this movie got such middling reviews.

It has a fantastic setting, some genuinely creepy moments, and a great sense of escalating dread as they descend deeper and deeper.

How did this one not get a little more love?
Normally my tastes are quite aligned with the RT opinions, but this one seems way off.

I'm sorry, but how come Charlie never had a epipen with her. They made such a big deal about not wearing shoes in the house but a epipen, a life ir death situation, never with Charlie.

Now the reason I do blame the mom was because she was the one who insisted Charlie went with the brother to his party! Regardless of if it had drinks or not, it wasn't the healthiest place for a kid. I know my mom would never allow it. And Charlie didn't even want to go, it was the mom who kept insisting on it.

The brother was at fault for smoking weed and leaving her alone but he was a teen boy who should have never been placed in that situation. And the dad seemed uninterested, what a doormat.

Impossible to make a worse season than season 12. Last night my fiancee and I gave the three episodes a whirl. Overlooking the strange lengths of episodes, (ep 3 with commercials is 22 minutes?) we watched the final destination set up, and immediately wondered out loud what this guy is doing in this 2 month relationship. Immediately it felt like everyone was an exponentially blown out characiature. Whatever they're attempting to set up, I'm not sticking around for.

I remember being 20 and watching the first season alone in the middle of the night and feeling genuinely creeped out. I'm not a blind fan of the show. I enjoyed season 3. 4 started out strong. 5 was a mess but sorta worked. 6 was cult right ? Excellent. Roanoke was great. The black pill short season was probably my favorite. They stayed strong nothing is perfect but good lord what happened?!

I’m not really wanting to get into a huge heated debate, I was kind of being a bit inflammatory: I just think this movie is honestly one of the best horror movies of recent times.

It might be that the genre clicks with me, or the subject matter, but I haven’t found any other people who have seen it to discuss it with.

I think what I love about it most, is that it knows what it is, and it takes that thing in a direction you can’t always anticipate. And even when you do, it twists it slightly. There is always a slight trick to any trope.

It’s not without its flaws - I think the creepy people in the apartment scene kind of strains the idea but I also kind of love the campiness of it.

I think there are lots of “better”, prestige horror movies over the last whatever. But for what this movie is, I honestly think it punches way way above its weight.

EDIT: This blew up a bit and I never meant it to: I get that I don’t need random people on the internet to agree with what I like, and I get that there’s lots of reasons this movie sucks. I kind of just wanted to engage with some nerds like me who might sorta like/not like it for a bit of banter. I thought it was a niche movie.

I’m sorry if I’ve offended anyone in any way. I’m still able to make my own judgements as to what I enjoy.

Just venting here, I hope y'all don't mind. I don't know if it's something in the water or a thing that's been happening everywhere, but theater etiquette has gone down the toilet the last couple of years for me. My friends and other people online tell me to just ignore it, but I can't seem to block it out the same way other people can. And it seriously messes with my impression of a movie.

I recently saw Obssession and got possibly the WORST audience I've ever had. The entire theater was talking the entire time. I mean 20+ people hooting and hollering. "Oh shit! This bitch crazy!" "Naaah that shit's fucked up!" "Pull the trigger, pussy! Kill yourself!" My friends and I tried shushing people, but we were outnumbered and just got ignored. The couple in front of us was on their phones the whole time. People were constantly getting up, kicking the back of my chair and walking as slowly as they please in front of the screen. My friends still managed to enjoy the movie and walked raving about it afterward. But I felt like I could barely remember what happened because I was so distracted. I pulled up Letterboxd and didn't know how to rate it because I felt like I hadn't even watched it.

I had to walk out of Weapons (I saw it alone) because a crowd of people behind me were talking the entire time, even during the quiet tense parts. I got my money back and saw it later on streaming, but it still sucked I had to do that. I don't know how people can enjoy movies with all the noise and commotion. How can you guys just block it out? I've been an avid theater goer since I got my license at 17 and I feel so sad that now I kind of lowkey dread going because I don't know what kind of crowd I'm going to get. It seems noticeably worse at horror movies too in my experience. I don't want to say theaters aren't for me anymore. I don't really like watching movies at home because I don't have a tv, so I have to watch them on my tiny, little notebook laptop. But there have been sooooo many horror movies recently that have been almost ruined for me because of the audience.

Anyway, I just wanted to complain to some other horror movie fans because my friends don't seem to get what the big deal is. They're able to ignore all of it and still enjoy the movie. But I've felt almost like I'm missing out with everyone talking about Obssession and pointing out little clues, but I didn't catch half the movie. It just sucks :\

I’m talking about those visceral horror scenes you can still picture when you close your eyes. More words because I can’t post this without writing an essay for some reason so enjoy all these useless words.

Edit: I guess I can share mine. It’s the scene from Hereditary where Toni Collette is sawing off her own head while maintaining eye contact with the son. Just a horrifying piece of imagery.

This post is inspired by Bear’s phone call to One Wish Willow in Obsession. I guess you wouldn’t necessarily call it a normal phone call, but the sharp change in tone from the humorous apathetic call center guy to the realization that real Nikki is stuck screaming in some sort of limbo was glorious. And then the immediate hang up was the cherry on top (fuck you Bear). I can’t stop thinking about the logistics of real Nikki’s condition and how call center guy was able to ’access‘ her.

I’ve always adored this trope so please give me more of your favorite examples.

“The cinema gods love their irony. Of all the things festivals beg us to take seriously — the climate, toxic masculinity, the corporate fascism Mark Ruffalo wants to smash — the one thing they’ve actually succeeded in elevating is the beheading. The slashing. The eye-gouging. The possessed guy shooting his brains out. Base-level schlock that teenagers once rented on DVD is now the most bankable product in the building.”

I couldn’t find that anyone posted this here yet but I just read this absolutely asinine article by Joseph Kahn. Somebody’s mad horror is finally having its moment.

For me its when I learned the snake that died in first Friday the 13th film was real and if I remember was someone's pet. Just really soured my opinion of the film after learning that

Clarification: this is *not* asking for the "so-bad-they're-good" movies, or a defense thereof. I'm looking for passionate defenses of specific movies that have been maligned for one reason or another but that you either feel don't deserve the criticism they receive, or whose virtues outweigh its faults.

I love an amazing unexpected movie like Barbarian. Either it starts one way, or it's just so batshit crazy that there IS no real expectations going into it...

• Weapons
• Bring Her Back
• Umm... Hereditary maybe?

Surely there's tons more. Just list the movie, don't give any details. Let the upvotes drive me to a new favorite.

I watch pretty much any horror movie, as long as it's not just problematic and gross (like A Serbian Film), but in general most horror doesn't bother me.

But I am so scared to watch Buried. A fucking Ryan Reynold movie. I'm terrified of being buried alive, the tale of Barbara Mackle terrifies me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidnapping_of_Barbara_Mackle

I also struggle to watch Fall, heights scare me because my brain imagines jumping off.

What other movies do other horror fans struggle to watch?

No hate to Weapons, I think it’s a good movie. However, I'm a bit confused about why it performed so well compared to many other movies this year. It premiered one week after Bring Her Back in my country, and let me just say… that was a tough act to follow.

Bring Her Back is not only more traditional horror... it being a genuinely great movie actually makes it even more impactful and powerful. Many horror movies tend to be acclaimed because they mix genres. BHB feels like a classic horror movie, but it does everything it needs to do, and it does it exceptionally well.

I also think the storyline and acting are much stronger compared to Weapons. It's darker, the characters are more interesting and their stories actually mean something for the entire movie, and one last thing - when it comes to acting performances, I genuinely think Sally Hawkins delivers one of, if not the best, horror performances of the year. Not to say Amy Madigan was bad in Weapons, but her performance feels a bit overrated and, well… more clownish and reliant on makeup and characterization. In contrast, Sally Hawkins carries the entire movie on her back and you feel her presence in every scene, even when she's not on screen.

I'm sure the Weapons marketing team had a lot more money to work with, but I really feel like Bring Her Back deserved its success, especially when it comes to Sally Hawkins’ performance. I guess she's going to go the Naomi Scott route of being completely ignored everywhere, even though BHB was at least universally acclaimed, unlike Smile 2.
