Either Hellbound: Hellraiser II or Candyman - the original, the way the gods intended.

Oh man, people forget how intense the first 2 Hellraiser movies are. For me, they both come so close to greatness but only just miss the mark for different reasons.

Haha, love "the way the gods intended"... I've seen Candyman (classic!) but haven't yet seen the second Hellraiser... that's definitely going on the list! I have seen the first Hellraiser (love it), plus I just recently watched the new one and it's one of my favorite newer scary movies (it's available on Hulu btw!). Hellraiser is so twisted and kinda has a dark humor to it too.

I was not impressed with the new Candyman. They threw away the lore established in the first movie.

Ah yes, Girlraiser, watched that as well. It wasn't as bad as I assumed - loved that they went more in depth on the Lament Configuration.

I watch more horror movies than I care to admit 🤣🤣🤣

Haha, maybe I'll skip the new Candyman... haven't gone there yet!

And agreed. I do think they did a job of expanding on the Lament Configuration lore in that latest Hellraiser. Plus, the visual effects were very trippy and bad ass!

And I very much feel ya on watching lots of horror flicks. I'll have to take a pic of my list from this October... I've definitely had my fair share this month. 😅 Truth be told, I watch'em year-round, but once October rolls around it provides me with a good excuse for me to overindulge and retread ground.

Horror all day, every day! 😱🍿

Yeah, it's not worth your time. I only watched it cause they said Tony Todd would reprise his role - what a lie that was.

Oo, oo, oo.... Shameless plug. I do a series on my other blog where I share 30 picks that I think people should watch. Started it in 2019....

Here's this year's primer:
