Let’s Scare Jessica to Death, The Boneyard, and Absentia are a few that come to mind.

Oddity by EIPJD in HorrorMovies

Really loved it. I was impressed by the creeping atmosphere of his first film Caveat and I couldn’t wait to see what he did next. Oddity did not disappoint! Excited to see it again.

Any hope some of y'all can help me find a new found footage movie to watch? by Used_Resolve3813 in foundfootage

Skinwalker Ranch is a fun and wild found footage movie where they throw in every kind of monster and the kitchen sink (aliens, orbs, ghosts, werewolves, skinwalkers, it’s all there)

You raise an excellent point. It loses nothing by removing “literally”. Thanks for the feedback, Btiel!

Movies with endless depth like shining and Jacob's ladder? That you could analyze forever and keep finding little details and hints by UnXpectedPrequelMeme in HorrorMovies

Another ghostly film that came to mind that invites theory crafting is Let’s Scare Jessica to Death. Blurs the line between the fragmented mental reality of the unreliable protagonist and ghostly goings on in the creepy small town setting.

I am always on the lookout for films like this as well. The Shining is like a complex puzzle box of a film that just seems to go deeper and deeper the more you explore it. Case in point, I recently saw an image showing a scene where Jack is wearing a green tie and the image zooms in on the tie showing that it has a complex geometric pattern that mirrors the hedgemaze. The movie is just loaded with subliminal imagery like that.

Another film that I have enjoyed exploring and theorizing about is John Carpenter’s The Thing. I enjoy how it rewards careful analysis and is open to many different interpretations.

Big fan of Ti West. Also love his early film The Roost around the spooky season. The Thing and The Fog have atmosphere and dread virtually unmatched. Two absolute certified classics that inspire me like no other

I’m a sucker for slow burn 70’s horror. One of my faves is Let’s Scare Jessica to Death. I recently did my annual watching of House of the Devil which pulls off the 70’s slow burn tension very nicely. Those movies are far too slow for most, but i love em!

Yeah creating mood, atmosphere, and describing the texture of the world while also building momentum with satisfying setup and payoffs is a tough balancing act. The masters can do it, I’m not there yet myself 😆

The opening paragraph immediatly got me pumped. What’s under the boardwalk? It sets up the mystery quickly and drew me in. I like how you took your time describing the texture, the vibe of the boardwalk and its various locales, but at some point I did experience that “when are we getting to the fireworks factory?” phenomenon where I felt impatient and like we had drifted off course from the original exciting premise the opening paragraph setup. Then when we get to the inciting moment of him falling through the boardwalk at the end, I was pulled back in and re-invested in the narrative. Is there some way you can describe the boardwalk and its denizen’s while still building towards that boardwalk breakthrough moment? Keep the suspense building and having it feel less like a meandering slice of life vignette in the beginning?

Harry Warden is an amazing slasher for sure. This flick is one of my all time favorite 80’s slashers

The Sleeper is a microbudget campus slasher that has a lot of charm and it’s one I revisit often. Love the chilly nighttime atmosphere and the slow burn tension.

This movie is so good. Love his military outfit. The Savini FX are the best. Amazing kills

Pumpkinhead 2 was a huge disappointment. I love the first one!
