It’s hard to believe that spooky season is drawing to a close, and while we watch scary movies year-round, it just feels more fitting in October. From slasher films to movies that focus on haunts, fans love them all.
Sub-genres exist within the more prominent horror genre that draws a cult following to specific movies, characters, and film ideas. There are icons of horror that stand the test of time — movies so thrilling that we cling to them no matter what modern films come our way.
Reddit threads have been asking many questions concerning scary movies this spooky season, and one fan brought up that today’s films seem to lack a particular key element.

This user suggested Cure for Wellness and noted that the message was hidden beneath the layers of the movie.
Krampus was a recommendation that had many who supported the movie.
This was a new suggestion for us, we plan to watch it this week!
This is a movie that takes a moment to deliver the horror, but the wait is well worth it.
