Help me pick a scary movie!

Comments

one month late but huge +1 to hereditary. Ari Aster's premier film is a very good movie and a very good horror movie.

Grady Shelton

A quiet place is a must and I see further up to newer stuff Natalie has watched it yay , the descent is a must

Aaron Davies

Despite Hereditary not topping this list, it really should be included in Natmares. It's by far the scariest and most reaction-worthy movie on the list.

KingsCustard

its all bout marketing. you need eyeballs to develop a following usually. But the great gems have a late (cult) following.

Cripkie

She might be traumatized 😂

William Connery

the decent is so underrated

kenneth radd

I cannot wait for Nat to get to Hereditary. It's gonna be something.

Chris Seale

After seeing how low the horror tolerance for some are in the comments for hill house It’s definitely for the best they aren’t thrown straight into the descent or hereditary 🤣🤣

Ryan S

I love horror movies and Hereditary is the first movie in decades to actually fuck me up and leave me shook

William Connery

The Descent and Hereditary are great, I do hope you get to those eventually. But I understand why a lot would vote for a quiet place, it was also very good.

Kyle

She absolutely would have hated The Descent, doubtless 😆 so I voted for it. Just kidding, I voted for IT and A Quiet Place, which I've seen and are 👍 👍AND Hereditary, which I have not seen. From what I've heard, at this point I probably can't call myself a true horror fan having still not seen it.

Hello again, Nattie! I just posted a list of some great baseball movies I think you would like. Well, since football is here, I figured I would also post some good football movies if you would like to watch, and if you haven't already seen. ● Remember the Titans (2000; Denzel Washington & Will Patton). This is my favorite football movie! ● The Program (1993; James Caan, Halle Berry, & Omar Epps). ● Rudy (1993; Sean Astin, Jon Favreau, & Charles S. Dutton). ● We Are Marshall (2006; Matthew McConaughey, Anthony Mackie, & Kate Mara). ● Necessary Roughness (1991; Scott Bakula, Hector Elizondo, Sinbad, Jason Bateman, & Kathy Ireland). ● Little Giants (1994; Rick Moranis & Ed O'Neill). ● Leatherheads (2008; George Clooney & Rene Zellweger). ● Brian's Song (1971; James Caan, as Brian Piccolo & Billy Dee Williams, as Gayle Sayers). ● Everybody's All American (1988; Dennis Quaid & Jessica Lange). ● The Longest Yard (1974; Burt Reynolds, Eddie Albert, & James Hampton). ● Friday Night Lights (2004; Billy Bob Thornton, Derek Luke, & Lucas Black).

Hey, Nattie! I'm excited for Natmares! However, since October is almost here, that also means Major League Baseball is about to start their playoffs. With that being said, it would be cool if you react to some baseball movies! If that sounds good to you, here is a list of some good baseball movies you could consider putting in a poll (if you haven't already watched). ● A Field of Dreams (1989; Kevin Costner, Ray Liotta, as “Shoeless" Joe Jackson [“Say it ain't so, Joe], & James Earl Jones). ● Eight Men Out (1988; D.B. Sweeney as “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, John Cusack, as Buck Weaver, & Charlie Sheen, as Hap Felsch). ● Bull Durham (1988; Kevin Costner, Tim Robbins, & Susan Sarandon). ● A League of Their Own (1992; Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Madonna, & Rosie O'Donnell). ● The Babe (1992; John Goodman, as Babe Ruth). ● Cobb (1994; Tommy Lee Jones, as Ty Cobb & Robert Wuhl, as Al Stump). ● The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars And Motor Kings (1976; Billy Dee Williams, James Earl Jones, & Richard Pryor). ● Major League (1989; Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Corbin Bernsen, Rene Russo, & Wesley Snipes). ● Moneyball (2011; Brad Pitt, as Billy Beane, Jonah Hill, & Chris Pratt, as Scott Hatteberg). ● The Sandlot (1993; Tom Guiry: “You're killing me, Smalls,” Mike Vitar, Denis Leary, & James Earl Jones). ● The Bad News Bears (1976; Walter Matthau & Tatum O'Neal).

Matt D

I've been meaning to check out "A Quiet Place" & "The Descent," but I voted for "It." In case you are unaware, Nat, the new "It" has a sequel. Also, are you going to get back to the Hannibal series? That would be awesome!

Matt D

holy fuck the decent is as creepy as creepiness gets.

Cripkie

Sad that the least of the movies on this list won. Not saying it's a bad movie, just not as good as the others.

Richard Maurer

lol i hear ya, i was intentionally vague so as to not spoil with details

James Kelly

If 'A Quiet Place' wins (looks likely) it will be first full length reaction I'll be watching for a movie I've not seen. Should be interesting.

PickettsChargingPort

Hereditary is a great movie for reactions, please please please keep including it in polls <3

Jenna

All 5 are incredibles movies, hope you could watch all of them at some moment in the future

Checo Lara

IT character driven ? Please.... It's just your bog standard jump scare movie... I hate modern horror movies so much....

Rime Pendragon

I wouldn't really compare those two. They are two very different types of horror. But both very good regarding the artistic side. Both movies that stick with you emotionally as well.

Brian Jones

Well to be fair, it's not based on movies directly so much as horror tropes. But yeah, might be a good idea to have her get more of the genre under her belt to get the humor of it.

Brian Jones

Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, it's one of those movies that sticks with you for a bit. But past that, the cinematography really is to die for in that film, and the performance from Toni Collette is outstanding. Midsommar is the same way, just different subject matter. Looking forward to seeing more from Ari Aster in the future.

Brian Jones

Well, to do Army of Darkness..... I mean, to REALLY do Army of Darkness, you would need to start with Evil Dead and work your way through it. Which I would genuinely love to see her do, but doubt she will ever get around to it. They are classics in the genre though.

Brian Jones

Bang on about Dawn. Romero's craps on Snyder's superspeed zombies there supposed to be the sad reflections of what used to be people.

Paul G

Totally agree Brian, no need to get into the sequels the original to me is a pretty perfectly executed low budget found footage that can play with the viewers imagination and fear of the unknown

Ryan S

Babo totally agree I didn’t find hereditary scary it was just very good at making you feel uncomfortable, out of all the choices I want to see Nats reaction to THAT scene in hereditary the most lol

Ryan S

I just watched Hereditary for the first time, yeah I am 100% NOT ok

Jorge

I just finished watching it, this will haunt me for a while

Jorge

IT is just the best character driven movie. She'd love it, especially after The Goonies.

YodatheHobbit

I hope she only whispers the entire time when she watches A Quiet Place for full immersion haha

DaftBasterd

I suggested Army Of Darkness to Nat and I just desperately want her to watch it, but I don't think it would ever win a poll here, even if the poll was all horror comedies. It's a low budget cult film that came out in 1992; I think about 90% of Nat's Patrons weren't born yet. I love that movie soooooo much. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen, in my top five favorite movies, period.

Skizane

Whether or not she likes scary movies, scary movies is what she asked for and two out of your original five picks couldn't even charitably be said to fit the genre. Zombieland is a comedy and World War Z is an action thriller, neither are scary in the slightest beyond an occasional jump scare. And nobody's telling you to shut up. They're rightfully criticizing you for your arrogance and condescension combined with your cluelessness about what's being discussed here. And now you're just digging your heels in instead of having a laugh about it and blowing it off. You're like an angry child. Wait, how old are you? ARE you actually an angry child? That would explain a lot.

Skizane

I don't know about you, but the Babadook just made me super sad. Felt bummed out all night. Also found it more disturbing overall than Hereditary (minus the car scene).

Jamie Moran

Yeah, all the films on this list should be reacted to but doesn't have to be all at once. Be cool to mix in some older content as well. Nat has already seen The Shining, so Doctor Sleep would be a good choice. Carrie is good, especially the original. The 2013 remake was just ok. Firestarter is another good Stephen King adaptation but would not place it in the horror category. Children of the Corn definitely is but only the first one is really worth watching. I'd even recommend Maximum Overdrive, because although it is very cheesy, Nat would get entertainment out of it!

Justin S.

Lmfao anyone who disagrees is a bad orange man. OK jeff.

My_Cousin_Mose

I highly recommend Get Out, if you haven't seen it. It's a very intelligent film, and it's not too scary. It's more of a suspenseful mystery / thriller. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Out

Dwight Everhart

So you just want me to shut up about my opinion - so Trump of you - I say it again the poll movies aren't a good choice so deal with it - take notice Nat doesn't like really sarcy movies and mine picks took that in mind or I would of put Hallween (Rob Zombie) or The Shining or House of a 1000 corpses or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (74)

JarHead0351

I think Cabin in the Woods may not be the best watch for Nat, since much of the comedy is based on references to horror movies that she hasn't seen before.

The Golgothan

Has Nat seen The Shining? If not, she should absolutely watch that first

The Golgothan

Well I can get behind all those Brian.

Paul G

I can't tell which is worse, your attitude or your taste in movies

The Golgothan

I definitely like the idea of Nat continuing Carpenter's Apocalypse trilogy.

The Golgothan

None of the above, sorry Nat! John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness The Prophecy The Sixth Sense

Sean Novack

Surprised to see Hereditary getting such little love in the poll? Regardless, a lot of those are fun :)

jacob garza

@Paul Yeah, Queen of the Damned was atrocious, and an insult to the source material. At least Interview with the Vampire (not a bad one to add to your list Nat, if you're perusing the comments) got the spirit of the novel right. I'd be FAR more interested in Nat getting into the new upcoming AMC series based on the Ann Rice novels. Season one is going to cover Interview with the vampire, and if all goes well they will push forward with a book per season. The Vampire Lestat could be amazing if it's in the right hands. Speaking of incredible vampire films, I'd love to see 'Let the right one in' (the Swedish version preferably, but the American remake 'Let me in' wasn't too bad), or 30 days of night make the list at some point, or hell, even something campy like Fright Night (original version) or Lost Boys.

Brian Jones

Yeah, would love to see a strictly comedy/horror list... Things such as Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Cabin in the Woods, Arachnophobia, Zombieland, Fright Night (the original).... Things like that would make a good poll. Slither would be a good title to throw into that mix.

Brian Jones

You lost all credibility with Queen of the Damned. And personally I didn't like any of the choices either, but it's not a wasted night. I simply won't tune in if I'm completely uninterested in the movie picked.

My_Cousin_Mose

Both The Dead Zone and Christine are great films, as are The Shining and Carrie. Misery could be watched at any time of the year as it's more of a drama than horror. I'd like to see The Mist on the list at some point too. It's just that I wouldn't remove anything from this list as suggestions either. And it's a great mix of artistic psychological horror, a throwback to 80's horror, a cult classic, and a couple of recent popular big box office entries.

Brian Jones

Yeah, Riddick wasn't bad.... Back to the basics of Pitch Black and the The Escape from Butcher Bay video game. Basically the roots of the Riddick character for the most part. Really solid flick. Katee Sackhoff was pretty good in it as a co-star. There was some animated material related to the franchise that wasn't half bad as well.

Brian Jones

I think I may know what the issue is here. You have bad taste.

Derik Knutson

Would love to see a reaction to the original Halloween (1978), especially with Halloween Kills being released in cinemas this October. Also, if you have seen Halloween (1978), then I would love to see your reaction to Halloween (2018). It's a direct sequel to the original, ignoring all other sequels. :)

Niklas

Tell you what mate your attitude stinks and quite so do some of these so called better picks, Zombieland is a comedy, World War Z isn't scarier than any of those and if you mean Queen of the Damned its pants. 30 Days is Good however but I wouldn't include it over the others. Halloween is a classic but I'm under the impression she's seen it.

Paul Gibbons

In fact, accdg. to legend, young John Carpenter asked Bob Clark what he would imagine for a Black Christmas sequel, and Clark replied, "I'd probably have the killer escape from the hospital and return to the sorority on Halloween."

Eric Janssen

wow another night wasted - none of these movies are my taste as a good scarey movie -don't know who telling which movies to pick none of these movies would make my list as good when there are lot better to choose from - 1 - Queen of the Dam 2 -World War Z 3- 30 Days Night 4-Zombieland 5- Halloween

JarHead0351

And it's directed by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy). 😊

Tomas

How about Slither (2006)? An outrageous flick that blends horror and comedy and stars Nathan Fillion from Firefly.

Justin S.

I definitely agree. Many of the classics or older films have small chance of winning against films that came out after 2000.

Justin S.

List here is good but I'd just like to see reactions to more of the classic horror films because of the nostalgia, especially many of the Stephen King adaptations, which I think Nat would enjoy. The Dead Zone and Christine being two of my favorites, as well as Misery.

Justin S.

Yeah, Halloween, as great as it is, is not the birth of the slasher. Texas Chainsaw Massacre was more of a slasher and came out a few years before, as well as Black Christmas. Psycho and Peeping Tom are more in the psychological thriller category.

Justin S.

Yeah, I definitely can't recommend Human Centipede, especially the second one, which is one of the very few films to actually make me feel nauseous. Now, I would like to see Nat watch Arachnophobia and see if she can put her discomfort to the side, because it's actually a pretty good flick.

Justin S.

Nota horror fan, not even a bit... But "It" was watchable

Ali El

There was a scene like that in the book, it was the early chapter. https://www.indiewire.com/2019/08/it-chapter-two-hate-crime-scene-1202168079/

Game Wizard001

but also...Doctor Sleep: The Director's Cut

A Vicarious View

That's another one that should make her list at some point. That's a great flick.

Brian Jones

@Babo The Witch would be a great add, as well as a whole host of movies from A24. Green Room, Under the Skin, The Lighthouse, Saint Maud....etc...etc.... Hausu is a bit wacky and off the wall. Not sure how Nat would react to that. Could be interesting. Audition would be another classic Japanese horror pick.

Brian Jones

Keep the suggestions coming. Natalie will still be looking for a few more light-hearted spooky movies to watch for Natmares 👍

Darryl Low

Wow I didn't even know Dark Shadows was a remake. Is this how millennials feel when I bring up Dawn of the Dead and they think I'm talking about Zach Snyder's abomination?

The Golgothan

I remember audiences asking, “Why does It: Chapter 2 start with a gay-bashing incident that doesn’t involve the main characters, wasn’t in King’s book, and has almost nothing to do with the rest of the story?” Oh, didn’t you know? The director decided that’s what the REST OF THE @#$&IN’ MOVIE is going to be about!! 🤬

Eric Janssen

You should give the B&W version a go. It gives it that older monster movie feel and covers the dated CG. It almost makes the film classier in an interesting way. Darabont really captured the tension just right in that film, and his ending was pretty incredible. He did a good job expanding a bit on the source material. I would bet the script had more pages than King's short story. :)

Brian Jones

In fact, watch the1991 Addams Family INSTEAD of the Addams remake Tim Burton wasn’t allowed to do for rights issues, and rewrote the Dark Shadows “remake” into one instead. 😡

Eric Janssen

Riddick (the 3rd film) is a lot more in line with Pitch Black than Chronicles. I thought it was pretty decent.

WackySwacky

@Jabari Agreed, and yes they do.... I love Halloween as much as anyone, and Carpenter made my favorite horror movie of all time (The Thing), along with a host of really iconic films, but Halloween is NOT the birth of the slasher. Not even close. It's just the popular one everyone tends to associate with the genre. But it was over a decade late to the party.

Brian Jones

Pitch Black would be a good flick at some point. Shame they had to butcher the future of the franchise with Chronicles of Riddick. That one turned into bit of a muddled mess, but Cole Hauser is usually pretty good in anything he's cast in.

Brian Jones

I don't think she will ever be up for an exploitation flick like that. :) But I will say that the movie had at least one redeeming quality in Dieter Laser's performance.

Brian Jones

@Dyko Going to second what Paul said here. Regardless of Nat getting to it, I would highly recommend you check it out. It's cult classic status is warranted. It really is a great flick.

Brian Jones

Sadly, It Follows, The Descent, and Hereditary don't stand a chance on a listing like this. That's the problem with pairing choices of more pop culture films with lesser known cult/artsy titles. You can almost predict the outcome of the poll the moment it's posted, as the most popular movie in box office will likely win. It would be wiser to group the artistic and lesser known choices all in one poll, and the highly popular box office grossers in another.

Brian Jones

Yeah, sadly, in most cases at least, it seems the most popular film (in box office terms or pop culture) always seems to win out. Which is a shame in the case of something like Hereditary, which in this case is by far the most artistic film on the list, or even a cult classic like The Descent. It would be wiser to group the more artistic and lesser known films into one poll, and the blockbuster films into another. At least then you would get less predictable and more varied results.

Brian Jones

You should give the book a read/listen, it's far more encompassing and WAY better than the movie. The film isn't bad, but they totally screwed with the source material. Basically a totally different story (compilation of stories actually).

Brian Jones

The Babadook creeped me out

Ben Wheeler

Honestly those are all great choices. Some just for the horror and suspense, some for acting and deep storytelling, and all conversation provoking.

Alvin Santos

The VVitch would be amazing. One of my favorite movies of all time.

WackySwacky

The Mist is one of the greats. Ignore the bad CGI though.

WackySwacky

This poll has so many great choices. The Descent and It Follows are two of my favorites. Same with the new It movies.

Boticus

Plus would talking through out A Quiet Place take away from the atmosphere of the movie where noise means you die?

Chris H

As a big fan of the original Dark Shadows TV show of the 60's, there should be a special place in hell for what Tim Burton did to that property. Campy, OK, comedy, never. Unless you mean the original Dark Shadows movie from the early 70's that the cast and crew made. Even I would prefer the TV show over the movie. I generally second every other pick you have here.

Mike LL

I do polls on a couple of channels and it's really just a popularity contest over whose seen whatever and who hasn't.

Paul G

You should watch A Quiet Place AND It! I think you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you miss out on It

Shannon Turner

I would suggest doing big hollywood blockbusters and smaller films in separate polls so smaller films actually have a chance to win one of these.

Skizane

heck yeah, going in for a quiet place!

Marcus Carter

"Get him! Get the bad guy, Clovis! Get the bad guy, get the bad guy, get the bad guy-GET that motherfucker! All right Clovis!" - Still cracks me up to this day. Wish that character had lived longer, he was hilarious. Oh yeah, and the two cops in the house when one of them stops and shivers. Cop A: "What is it?" Cop B: "Cold draft." Cop A: "Use one now, could ya?"

Skizane

I'd love to see you take on Hereditary (and/or Midsommar), but it doesn't look like I'll be getting my wish. On the plus side, I'm one of like three people who haven't seen A Quiet Place, so this will be an interesting experience, watching a movie for the first time along with your reaction.

RE

Lmfao that movie.

Jabari Weathers

Wait, Peeping Tom, Psycho and a lot of early Mario Bava deserve to be in this convo, too!

Jabari Weathers

Hard push for Scream

Jabari Weathers

Not a horror fan, so no help. lol.

Amos T Fairchild

I've never seen any of these so I can't in good conscience vote on any of them. That said, Natmares doesn't have to be strictly horror movies so here's a list of spooky comedies to mix in. The Addams Family (1991) Beetlejuice Dark Shadows Death Becomes Her The Frighteners Ghostbusters (1984) Gremlins Monster Squad Tucker and Dale vs Evil What We Do In The Shadows (the movie, which you should watch before the series)

The Golgothan

Forget horror. Just watch Casper, the Adams Family and Beetlejuice. LoL!

Philip

Check out Lilya 4-ever. Now that’s a movie that would definitely brighten your mood

Dooly

I’d add The Witch and the Japanese horror film Housu (A movie everyone should experience at least once) to that list.

Dooly

Hereditary is okay. Great performance by Toni Collette but not nearly as scary as people make it out to be.

Dooly

Funny how Halloween is considered a ‘slasher’ when Michael strangled most of the victims.

Dooly

I would seriously suggest poltergeist

Jim ehman

Best read in the voice of Dana Carvey's Grumpy Old Man. ...which, yeah, dates me as well.

ActionJeans

I was trying to avoid details for anyone reading the comments.

Adam Vialpando

Don't worry or be scared. Just remember this: any scary or terrible you imagine as you are trying to sleep, there are much worse and scarier things out there. And probably under your bed too.

Adam Vialpando

If you are in the mood for a perfect mind-bending movie you should watch Midsommar (2019) it's so good and very scary.

Timothy O'Hara

I would suggest the 'Paranormal Activity' Series for a good old fashioned scare.

Edward Of DOOM

I'd say it is more of love letter to horror and the tropes involved in them. Kind of lovably poking fun.

Adam Vialpando

Replace Quarantine with Rec and this list is amazing.

Adam Vialpando

Black Christmas is not quite a slasher though, at least as we know then. The director wasn't trying to make that movie. Halloween is really the birth of the slasher as we know it today.

Adam Vialpando

The Mist is one one those movies that is amazing and I really liked yet I never try to watch again. I saw it in theaters and it really stuck with me even after it was over.

Adam Vialpando

I would second, third, and fourth this comment if I could..... Actually just about anything from A24 productions is a win. The Witch, Under the Skin, Saint Maud, The Lighthouse, Killing of a Sacred Deer, Green Room.... I could go on and on regarding their output. Best production company doing films in the genre at the moment.

Brian Jones

@Valar Dohaeris Primarily because the only thing notable about the original is Curry's performance. Past that it's pretty bad for all sorts of reasons. The acting, cinematography, scriptwriting, and effects are all pretty bad. About what you would have expected for a TV movie of the week from that era.

Brian Jones

Well technically Black Christmas would be the start of the slasher genre. Halloween was just the first one to really break into the mainstream. You can even call films such as Psycho the true beginning of the genre, or at the very least proto-slasher films. But yeah, Halloween should make the list at some point if she hasn't seen it.

Brian Jones

The first Paranormal Activity film would be good, if for anything for it's historical status as being one of the most profitable films of all time. May still hold the record actually. It's a great example of what can be done on a shoestring budget. The sequels are just a very bland "more of the same" unfortunately.

Brian Jones

Great movie as well.... Especially the black and white version. Covers some of the dated CG effects.

Brian Jones

Took your advice and just got done watching The Cave. Very solid film. Had the villain from Pitch Black in it (another movie we should watch), along with the guy from Lost and Cersei Lanister. Thanks for the recommendation.

WackySwacky

Please watch Misery (1990)!!!!! It’s fantastic

Timothy O'Hara

Love Spartacus but it's basically half a porno.

WackySwacky

The Mist (2007)

Björn Von Knorring

Very good film as well..... I would also suggest Cabin in the Woods for the comedy/horror vein.

Brian Jones

Personally thought this should just be the full October lineup. Great mix of styles of horror and there really isn't a bad pick on the list.

Brian Jones

Agreed. Should just make this the entire October lineup. Great mix of styles of horror, and not a bad film on the list.

Brian Jones

It's easily the most artistic film on this list. The cinematography is to die for and Toni Collette should have been nominated for an Oscar for her performance. Calling it a "snuff" film is being ridiculously hyperbolic though.

Brian Jones

Well at the end of the day, it's a comic book film..... But yeah, horror would probably be the genre it fits best in. Great flick though. They really should have continued on with Keanu in that role. I realize it's against the comic book character type, but there's something about his IDGAF attitude in that film that really carries it.

Brian Jones

I know I've repeated myself throughout this comment section, but honestly Nat, you could just call it quits with this poll and make this the list for the month of October. It has a great mix of styles and there isn't a bad film on it. I could think of plenty of films I might add to it, but can't think of a single one I would remove. And Hereditary really needs to make your list regardless at some point. The cinematography and performance from Toni Collette (she was robbed of an Oscar nom IMHO) are absolutely to die for..... Hell, anything from A24 is almost always a win. They are cranking out some of the most beautify artistic films that exist these days.

Brian Jones

Considering this was 7 hours ago, hope you enjoyed it. It's a great flick, and well worth a second pass for the cinematography alone. Ari Aster is a modern treasure.

Brian Jones

If this were a competition based on artistic merit alone, Hereditary would win this hands down. But honestly, I wish she would just make this the list for October and watch all of them. There isn't a bad film on this list.

Brian Jones

A24 has been absolutely KILLING IT in the horror genre. I love their choice of directors. The Witch, Hereditary, The Lighthouse, Climax, Green Room, Saint Maud, Under The Skin.... I could go on and on singing their praises. Every single time they release a film I'm guaranteed to be at the theater for it. Truly a production company that cares about the artistic side of film, as opposed to someone like Blumhouse, where it's just a cash grab.

Brian Jones

Agreed. There isn't a bad film on this list, and if I had my way this would be the entire lineup for October, but out of the choices here, Hereditary is easily the best artistic choice.

Brian Jones

Natalie! love your reactions, could you please do just X-men first Class movie before jumping into scary movies. I've been waiting for it for a while, please.

Ahmad Zain

Both excellent horror films, I would highly recommend them.

Brian Jones

Agreed..... I really wish "all of the above" was an option here. This would be a great lineup for the month of October.

Brian Jones

Tucker and Dale vs Evil

Barry

As many have said, they are all great movies. Dare I say excellent movies. Any chance we could just make this entire list the lineup for October? Just do one a week or so? Honestly Nat, you really couldn't have picked a better lineup. I could certainly think of other movies you could add to the list, but there is absolutely nothing I would take off this list.

Brian Jones

Solid choices Had to go with hereditary since it’s the most unsettling one up there. Would love to see a paranormal activity reaction from you pretty tame movie but I could see it getting in your head lol happy Nataween!

Ryan S

Where is Candyman?

Joseph Didiano

I’m surprised you still haven’t seen Halloween with us. I think the potential of seeing a couple of those in the series and seeing the start of the slasher genre is ripe for solid reactions

Ravinder Bath

It Follows is an interesting low budget film. Not sure it would be great for this venue, but watch it if you get the chance. I'm pulling for the new 'It'

PickettsChargingPort

Instead of the descent you should do the cave... it's a similar story line with better actors and writing. And it's pretty good. Cersei lanister stars in it too. Lol

Angelina Sargent

I was just thinking about the screaming 😁

The Goateed Geek

Will there be multiple polls for horror movies or just this one?

Adam Sandoval

Im down for any of these really, but good ol pennywise is dear to me, so hes got my vote. after reading through the comments there are a lot of really good suggestions on more titles to watch, i really hope we get to see reacts to alot of em, as its spooky season, iffin you want to break up the spooky with some "thrillomedy" check out the 90's Arachnaphobia, underrated gem. srsly.

Improperganda Arts

You should watch Legend 1985 it's one of Tom Cruise first 💛

bryon wilcock

All the above lol

bryon wilcock

Yeah It Follows is for sure the best. Sadly not the most well known

CC

No, she needs to toughen up. We'll have her laughing her way through Human Centipede in no time /s

Richard Maurer

The Shining :)

abz

It Follows is the best of these movies, so of course it's in last place. Hereditary is a close second. Quiet Place is fun but highly over-rated.

Richard Maurer

A Quiet Place is fantastic. I was skeptical going in but I loved it.

Dante

A Quiet Place is very good for being PG-13. The only other films of that rating that would give Nat anxiety would be Arachnophobia or Insidious. The Descent might be my favorite on this list. That film exceeded my expectations. Hope to see some more classic horror films from the 80s as well such as Christine, Fright Night, and Child's Play.

Justin S.

you should watch the conjuring

Zulfadhli Abd Latif

Have you thought about doing Hocus Pocus as a fun watch for Halloween?

Lisa Tosti

Is it just me but although Quiet Place might be the best of these I really want Nat to see the other ones as they are all scarier... Sorry Nat.

Paul Gibbons

Treat yourself it ticks off so many phobias : The Dark, Enclosed spaces, what's in the dark...

Paul Gibbons

Name recognition and just more people have seen the others.

Paul G

Is a Quiet Place 2 available to stream for you as they basically follow on?

Paul G

Agreed Adam some of the kids acting in the old one is pretty bad.

Paul G

Now GOT is done. TO replace Should check out the Witcher. Another good one is Spartacus but very mature

Kraackin

I'm placing a request for "The Cabin in the Woods". A scary movie that pokes fun at scary movies.

Tadpoleaxe

Not sure if Shutter Island would count as a horror film outright, but it does have quite a few horror elements

Christian Truheoh

The first three Saw movies are fun if you haven't seen them, I also like Cube and Escape Room.

Rex Crossley

Still waiting for Friday the 13th.

swoop_13-37

I write horror and I'm not scared easily but It Follows creeped the sh!t out of me!

Rex Crossley

The Burbs is so fun!!!!!!

Rex Crossley

A Quiet Place was my choice from those but please consider these for more horror choices - Quarantine (2008) Train to Busan (2016 and Korean so subtitles) Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978 version) Christine (1983 based on a Stephen King book) Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010 comedy/horror with Alan Tudyk from Firefly)

JayF

This was like Sophie's choice. Personally, I think It Follows is the best movie of this bunch, a near-perfect horror, but these are literally all great.

Gary Giaimo

I've never seen The Descent so I was hoping for that one. But A Quiet Place is a great movie so that's fine.

WackySwacky

Poltergeist or Silver Bullet.

SaucyCircus

Hi Nat! can't wait to see you react to A Quiet Place, would LOVE to see you watch It Follows too at some stage. such a unique change of pace for a horror movie, definitely a breath of fresh air into the genre. All these movies are fantastic and should be watched eventually! :D

Chris Laverty

Really a shame that It Follows never gets the attention it deserves. It's a brilliantly put-together film that really explores a few common tropes in a really interesting way.

Neil Silverman

Bro, Hereditary shouldn't even be on a list like this LMAO. I voted for it 😒

Trepanation21

A few classic movies that I think would fit in great for Natalie and Natmare season: The Burbs, Clue, Monster Squad, Scream.

David Crabtree

I really love this movie, and for quite a lot of the same reasons that I love John Carpenter's Halloween.

Richard Flores

The descent is one of my all time favourites. Shame it did so badly but a quiet place is fun

ButtyOh

i Agree whole heatedly! That last scene of the movie is fantastic, who was that behind them??? Lol. As for the jump scene are you referring to tall man or little boy? Cuz both got me but what made me go oh FUCK no was the lady in the hallway

James Kelly

Why not all of them lol They're all so good

bohoobobo

you know me well

Natalie Gold

title ideas are "talkative girl watches A QUIET PLACE"....."watching A QUIET PLACE and talking the whole time..." etc. etc. 😂

Natalie Gold

ugh Lisa I feel you....I'm nervous about my upcoming sleep

Natalie Gold

I second this. Stir of Echos doesn't get the appreciation it deserves (maybe because it's a suspense and not a straight out horror)

Travis Starnes

Pure excitement, very glad “It” is in second place too because either one is a great choice

Manny Martinez

People suggesting Hereditary are trying to scar you for life. I've never regretted watching a horror movie as much. And I'm not squeamish in the slightest. Might as well start reacting to snuff films. It's a horror alright.

Robert Reichle

All of these movies are great but It Follows for me is an incredibly great and scary film. Plus compared to the other choices It Follows doesn't get talked about as much, which is a shame.

Adam Vialpando

Other than Tim Curry the original is average bordering on mediocre

Adam Vialpando

I want Sleepwalkers (1992)! Not enough people have reacted to that movie!

David Sumner

And even the jump scenes are great. Especially THAT one. You know which one. But besides that the movie had me tense during the entire runtime. I never truly felt a sense of calm during it and was constantly torn between watching the foreground and background of every scene.

Adam Vialpando

Me neither. It is one of the most unique and scary movies I have seen in years.

Adam Vialpando

Does anyone else see the irony in screaming “A QUIET PLAAAACE!!!”? 😂

Eric Janssen

Constantine is fun but not really horror. I don't really know what genre to put it in really. It is all over the place.

Adam Vialpando

It appears that the public has spoken, A QUIET PLAAAACE

Manny Martinez

Yeah, I'm new to this Patreon thing and don't really understand the proper protocol. Apologies

Munky Kung Fu

A quiet place is more thriller than horror IMO — I think we should go with hereditary

Travis

A Quiet Place is good but Hereditary is on another level.

Jay Robert

I don't do well with scary movies and It scared the crap out of me and I had trouble sleeping for a long time. A Quiet place was great and to me was more of a suspense thriller than full on horror and I loved it! Highly recommend! The second movie was fantastic too!

Lisa Tosti

Maybe for the next poll, Stir of Echos is very good and, in my opinion, just scary enough.

Elvenwitch

But... she asked for a scary movie.

Thomas Yanez

A quiet place is good but think it’s a little overhyped (IMO)…hoping you get to/the community votes for Hereditary at some point in the following month

Casey Walker

I would love a IT reaction... I really liked the book and the old and new movies. I only wish that you would also watch both versions, old and new, of IT. When you just decide between the old and the new it would be sad for the other.

YannickWega

Hope you can watch Hereditary at some point if it doesn’t win.

DDK

It Follows is my favorite out of all of these. But I love the other choices as well. I just don’t see how it is getting so few votes.

Zack Wallace

A few horror movies I enjoyed were: Constantine, The Wicker Man (the original version not the terrible remake), both of these are on the lighter side of horror.

Jeff white

Hereditary out of all of these will get the best reaction from Natalie so I’m going with that one.

Gerardo

The new adaptation of IT(both Chapter 1 and 2) are excellent and genuinely scary.

Patrick Egan

The Descent is exceptional. More than just a horror movie, lots of girl power; can you figure it out?

Patrick Beach

For real, I think it’s a love letter to the best horror that the late ‘70s and ‘80s had to offer.

James Kelly

I voteed for A Quiet Place because it's such a good horror film that is more than just horror. And the performances are amazing.

Sam Kimpton

The Descent for me, scared me more than A Quiet Place. And be honest with you watching a horror it ain't gonna be a "quiet" place. 😀

The Goateed Geek

It follows is bloody fantastic. It’s freaky as SHIT but with very little gore and very few jump scenes

James Kelly

Yeah, she slept through most of The Exorcist, didn’t she? (Of course, that’s talking good old down-and-dirty 70’s horror, not cult and over marketed 80’s horror—After Jaws, Exorcist and Texas Chainsaw, don’t know what other core 70’s titles there are to go to besides the original The Hills Have Eyes.)

Eric Janssen

Attack the Block!!!

David Hill

Please go with IT, like a quiet place is decent but it’s quite boring and very serious like I’m trying to watch a horror film I don’t won’t loads of over the top camera work and cinematography, also a quiet place isn’t particularly scary it’s more of a thriller sort of tense film where as It is more proper horror

Joshua Reynolds

The problem with watch the newer versions of It, is that if you watch the cool and genuinely scary first half, you have to watch the off-topic gay-Pride second half. But, if you’ve been through the early X-Men movies up to this point, it won’t be unfamiliar ground.

Eric Janssen

Picking A Quiet Place because it’s the least scary of those movies (for me)

My Toasty Toast

I’m watching Hereditary tonight for the first time, wish me luck lol

Jorge

Boring

Nicholas Hentges

Can I add “The Strangers” to the list? Or have you already seen that one. Please tell me you haven’t seen it and you’ll be watching it this Natmare season 🤞🏽

Valentin torres

The Shining and Doctor Sleep would be good future choices though.

Game Wizard001

The Descent is excellent. Wouldn't mind Hereditary either, would give me a good reason to finally watch it. Quiet Place is good, but not scary enough *evil grin*.

Heretic

First IT film was great, part 2 not as much but still a decent finish to the story.

Game Wizard001

React to, "Death Becomes Her" it's a Halloween worthy, dark comedy starring Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis

Munky Kung Fu

Please do Hereditary at some point even if it doesn’t win now, please :)

Christian H

A Quiet Place wasn't scary at all, so hopefully one of the other four wins

Matt Adams

The Conjuring for the next scary movie

Justin Credible

For sure. The cinematography is incredible

Brandon Ralphs

Shame that It Follows is coming last, its an exceptional one

Śéáń

You really…DON’T KNOW any scary movies from the 290th century, do you? 🤔 (You know, back when they weren’t trying for artsy critical validation in being “metaphoric”, “unique” or “disturbing”, and just had one Friday or Saturday nigh to scare the crap out of you?)

Eric Janssen

For me, the glaring stupidity of A Quiet Place ruined it for me, and Hereditary just wasn't scary in the slightest. Descent is my fave here as the acting, atmosphere, gore and emotion all rank high.

Ryan Pascall

Jacobs Ladder

Munky Kung Fu

Rooting for two of these...

Michael Ford III

Honeslty tho and its also shot very well too, something Natalie might appreciating as a film person

Rey

I hope hereditary wins, its definitely the best of the bunch

kikoyito

Ooo all solid choices, hoping to see more a24 films on the poll next week

Rey

I'm up for watching Nat turn A Quiet Place into A Loud Place 😄

Darryl Low

Hereditary will stay with you

Nick of Time

Hereditary is definitely the ‘scariest’ of the bunch. Would be SO fun to see you get absolutely shook by that film. It’s also probably objectively the ‘best’ film on this list

Brandon Ralphs

You should watch both Hereditary and Midsommar. Midsommar is so gorgeously shot!

Edward Houston

I was just thinking It Chapter One would be a good one to do, the kids are pretty charming and it's fun scary. Haven't seen A Quiet Place yet though..

Chris H

Hopefully a quiet place wins, that movie is fantastic! and the sequel just as good!

Daniel Luna

It Follows was a fun one, but I put my vote on The Decent.

Cory Silver

The original It was good and scared me as a kid but the newer ones (especially the 1st one) was a great film

john collins

Hereditary pleaseeeee

gpaul

Why? I'm asking honestly. The first one is not needed to follow this one, and after watching that, the new is more of the same... Isn't it?

Valar Dohaeris

For someone who scares easily (or has "Nat-mares,") some of these titles are going to freak her out! Hereditary freaked me out, It was amazing but also scary. The Descent - wow - talk about capitalizing on multiple "phobias" and then layering in horror - THAT was one movie I couldn't sleep after! So excited to see what wins.

This_Jedi_crafts

Not into scary movies but I really enjoyed World War Z.

Steven Valle

A Quiet Place might not be the best movie for a reaction since the most natural reaction I've seen people have to that movie is to be completely silent. It was a complete trip to be in a full theater of people who were all dead quiet. You could hear a pin drop. That said, it's a great movie.

Robert C

Personally I prefer the newer version. The older one is just not scary and feels more goofy

Danishprince

a quiet place is my choice but I think dont breathe should be considered at some point Stephen Lang is fantastic

FateMalone

Agreed! Scariest by far! Don’t think she can handle it though ;)

Jacki Goldberg

I'll like to propose "What lies beneath" for another time you might want to see a tense, not gory, but somehow scary movie.

Valar Dohaeris

Happy Saturday, Natalie! 😊 Definitely going with "IT" with this one! 🎈 If you do the newer one, remember there is a sequel "IT: Chapter 2" that closes the story. Have a great day today! 😊 Stay Golden! 💛

Randee Carreno

Anything but the descent anything underground in caves, buried alive etc it a NO from me, seen it once never again lol 😱😱

Ian

Definitely the quiet place movies though they aren’t that scary other than jump scares but hereditary is definitely a different take on horror!

Eduardo Ortega

A Quiet Place is the perfect movie for reactors. And besides, it's a great movie!

Bou _

This is a very tough choice.. A Quiet Place is incredible but I absolutely love the newer IT

Danishprince

Always liked Tim Curry's Pennywise.

Patrick Toscano

I’ve never seen Descent or Hereditary so I went with Hereditary.

Ben Wheeler

I hope people know how good the descent is, and just how scary it’ll be 😋 I love hereditary but the descent is easily the scariest movie on this list!

Hippyjosh

It

kzoc

Ittt

kzoc

You should watch the older version of IT first though.

Brett Laney

AMAZING choices!

mrhalfbit

A quiet place 1 and 2 are such a TRIP! You'll love almost all of these though. IT isn't worth the journey since the pay off is so lame

Brian - DocHikes - Hall

For the love of god people let’s do hereditary lmao

Travis

100% IT (both parts)

David Blake

IT is overrated. But it'll get you views

Christopher French

all of them are good😭

Colaidd Roug

I am so not good with scary movies lol I kind of stay away from them because I'm too scared to be scared 😂😂😂
