For the armchair detectives
More sinister than straight out scary, these mysteries will get those minds ticking
Bodies Bodies Bodies

Don’t Worry Darling
Suburbia…that’s a nice safe place to live, right? Tell that to Florence Pugh, whose perfect life in the perfect house with the perfect husband (Harry Styles, FYI) is about to explode.
Scary? Think sense of impending doom rather than jump scares
Horror with LOLs
Because sometimes you want a little comedy with the creepiness

A nun realises she has a hidden talent…what’s so scary about that? Clue: it’s performing exorcisms. Ahhh.
Scary? if the trailer is anything to go by…off the scale
Bram Stoker’s Dracula
Francis Ford Coppola directing Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins and Gary Oldman? Halloween doesn't get classier than this

The definition of sheer terror? A monster that has the ability to morph into any living creature i.e it could be anyone, anything, anywhere.
Scary? Monsters from outer space are on another level
