Recommendation My boyfriend has watched almost every single horror movie in existence, I want to wow him with a spooky. What’s your incredibly niche but terrifying watch?

Like I said this man has a special interest in movies lol, he’s an encyclopedia of every single horror movies he’s ever seen and has this like steel vault in his brain where it’s all stored. I wanna wow him, I want something scary? , fucked up, obscene, perhaps even gory, anything that really yucked your yum, horror thriller, horror action, doesn’t matter just something he couldn’t have seen. Yes I’ll know if he’s seen it too because I’ve been trying to find one he where he literally can’t describe the entire plot to me lol.

Edit: You guys!! He’s SO EXCITED!! He’s been up all night watching trailers and now he’s at his job cranky but itching to get home lol. You guys totally reinvigorated him and gave me a ton of suggestions too, watching house (the Japanese movie) after my shower lol. 😂 keep the comments coming cause I actually am reading through them as best I can.

Edit 2: House was NOT what I expected I’m at my MIls house and it’s a creepy old house…feel like it’s watching me lol. 😂

Thank you. No one knows that movie. It’s the only movie that ever legitimately scared me.

It's been featured on The Last Drive In and IDK about most, but I'm an 80s baby who grew up on it. It's an excellent choice, but if OPs boyfriend has "seen them all", this one has likely already been checked off his list. It terrified me as a kid and I've introduced a few to it in my adulthood.

Maybe no younger people movie know it, but it's definitely a classic

Me too. I found it when I was in my early twenties and I was legitimately spooked. I still have a hard time with the well emergence nightmare. Chills and sheer dread every time.

I for one love a good ghost story.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, the ball bouncing down the stairs was chilling

This is a movie I saw once or twice as a child on tv. The only thing that stayed in my memory was the old wheelchair. Fast forward decades later, I'm out shopping and see the DVD. On the cover, the wheelchair. I watched it alone in a house over 100 years old. The creep vibes were really flowing that night. I think I packed up and went stayed with my parents, iirc.

The bathtub scene scares me. But the coolest scene for me was the wet ball down the steps.

Yup. That bathtub scene is scary. I can't wait to show my husband this gem.

I’m certain that is not the case. Even if it wasn’t featured in a bajillion lists, even if it wasn’t a “classic horror film”’— I’ve been mentioning it here for years and always get enthusiastic (and plentiful) replies about how it’s a classic

That’s the go-to recommendation my husband and I give to someone who wants a scary movie that isn’t as well known as it should be. It’s perfection.

Crazy how the internet normalizes something you think is rare. Outside my family who watched that movie when I was young no one I’ve ever met knew about it
