The first ten

Gonna be a long month and I can’t believe it’s the 8th already. Here’s the drill: 31 horror movies – my favorites, FlickChart user favorites, and up to a dozen I’ve never seen before. Plus the same for “werewolf” movies. Plus another dozen or so that are household faves. This is the first batch – five WW movies and five standard fare.

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night. Superman vs New Orleans. feels like a half-hearted mix of supernatural clichés, cheesy humor, and underwhelming action. Fun in parts, but ultimately forgettable. 5/10 (new)
Cry of the Werewolf delivers classic horror thrills with eerie atmosphere and intriguing twists. A vintage gem for fans of old-school creature features 7/10
Doctor Jekyll and the Werewolf struggles with a disjointed plot and lackluster scares, failing to merge its classic elements into a compelling horror experience 1/10 (new)
Waxwork campy horror flick that entertains with its quirky premise and 80s vibe. Zach Galligan gives it charm, but the uneven pacing and cheesy effects hold it back. 6/10
Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf misses the mark with a weak plot and forced humor. Too much Wacky Racers. Not enough charming fun. 1/10 (new)
The House on the Edge of the Park some unsettling moments but lacks depth. Its shock value overshadows any real suspense, making it more uncomfortable than engaging. 7/10 (new)
Ready or Not a wickedly fun thrill ride, blending horror and dark humor with style. Samara Weaving shines in a game of survival that’s clever and unpredictable. Will likely make the list again. 9/10
Just Before Dawn 1981 moments of suspense and eerie atmosphere, but it’s bogged down by a slow pace and predictable plot, lacking the punch of true slasher classics. strong female without being a Mary Sue. 7/10 probably too high. (new)
Beau Is Afraid swings for the fences with its surreal storytelling, but its overindulgent pace and ambiguous plot might leave you more puzzled than entertained 6/10. (new). Doesn’t need to be rewatched.
The Golem First franchise. Masterpiece of silent cinema, blending expressionist visuals with a captivating story. Its exploration of creation and monstrosity still resonates, making it a timeless classic. 9/10.
The House with Laughing Windows should be next but I cannot find it (for free.) Maybe next year.
