I love a good tale. The scarier, the better. And it seems I’m not alone.

Horror—whether in video games, movies, television, or other media—seems to be having a moment. While tales of terror can delve into everything from the supernatural to folk tales to serial killers to the innocuous quiet neighbor, all of the best ones deliver hefty doses of escapism punctuated by jolts of fear that leave your brain absolutely soaking in dopamine.

The suggested movies aren’t retellings so much as horror flicks that dwell in the same spooky settings, play with similar themes, or have comparable antagonists.
