i wanna make a list of spookies to download for the next few weeks. please drop your favourite horrors or some obscure choices you like! mostly looking for like offbeat 90s-2000s stuff (earlier is cool too), wacky shlock is welcome but I’d love some actually scary picks too. really just anything you consider worth watching is good. thanks!

There’s a lot of stuff I really like about Constantine but my favorite thing is the archangel. The actor nails their role. I’m being vague because it’s best not to know ahead of time who the actor is or what the details are. Also - the costume, makeup, etc is a perfect match. It’s always great when something is unexpected and feels right.
A spoiler that ignores my advice.

For such a ridiculous movie Deep Rising has a surprisingly strong cast down to even the minor characters.
I edited the summary a bit because it made it sound like the movie might be a horror-comedy “…a trip to a most dangerous country in Europe - Sweden”.
pair it with Midsommar for a “Sweden is fucked up” double-feature
I absolutely love Constantine and The Ritual, so naturally I’m downloading Deep Rising to watch next.
I truly love ridiculous yet enjoyable nonsense with high production values and a great cast. Deep Blue Sea is in this category too even though LL Cool J isn’t exactly a top-notch actor. I almost started laughing when I saw the top cast.
Ah. Look at that cast. And Saffron Burrows is in this crap? I’m in!

I totally hated The Meg though. The movie took itself very seriously and who wants to see a ridiculous giant shark movie trying very hard to be a drama?
