Blumhouse, the production company behind movies like Get Out and Happy Death Day almost exclusively makes movies that either explicitly or tangentially fit into this group.īut we digress-too much talk about the future when there's already a ton of great psychological horror films for you to watch right now. Can you imagine a world without Stanley Kubrick's The Shining? A masterpiece that basically shaped the landscape that made way for what's been the last 40 years of great horror movies (and included a quasi-sequel in Doctor Sleepfrom director Mike Flanagan).

But perhaps the most unheralded but deeply-loved subgenre of the horror world are the psychological horrors movies that don't necessarily have a supernatural monster or happening at their core (though sometimes they also do!) but mostly focus on some sort of slow, methodical unraveling of a mind.

But I guess theyll be bundled together tidily. Those two are currently pay-what-you-want from Itch, with no minimum price, so you can play them right now anyway. Some people might hear "horror" and think first about classic monsters of the genre-zombies, Frankenstein's monster, vampires, etc-and that's all good and dandy. The Weird Autumn Edition will also give folks the two little side games Longest Night and Lost Constellation.
