In no particular order:
• [i]The Haunting[/i] (1967), one of the best horror movies ever made in my opinion, best watched without a cellphone in hand, it holds up surprisingly well.
• [i]The Blair Witch Project[/i] (1999), especially spooky if you live in the woods, the original found footage horror movie, lots of paranormal tension.
• [i]Paranormal Activity[/i] (2009), nice and spooky if you're into ghost stories, a fantastic companion for The Haunting and Blair Witch, the low-tech special effects enhance the spookiness.
• [i]The fall of the House of Usher[/i] (2023), an anthology series by Mike Flanagan, great story telling, each episode retells a story from Edgar Allan Poe, but in the modern world.
• [i]Limetown[/i] (2019), part horror, part mystery, I do a yearly re-listen to the podcast, it's just damn near perfect, I don't want to spoil anything, but it's a fantastic listen.
• [i]The Magnus Archives[/i] (2016), another podcast and anthology series, spooky stories with fairly compelling acting, good for background noise, good for dedicated listening.
• [i]The Simposons: Tree House of Horror[/i] (Various), what can I say? I'm a millennial! I just like the stories, they always put me in the Halloween mood.
Edit:
• [i]House of Leaves[/i] by Mark Z. Danielewski is trippy and weird, but in the best ways. Best if you can find it in paperback, the digital editions don't really do it justice. It'll linger.
• [i]White Horse[/i] by Alex Adams is another good book, also trippy, cosmic horror in its way. She's got some of the best prose I've read, very stark and succinct.
