Hello! I have returned with the final part of my horror movie recommendations.

On the left are some refresher terms from the last article on how I categorise my horror movies.

This recommendation list will contain movies that fall in most, if not all, categories of this list.

I hope you enjoy it!

(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Serious horror 
Purely intended to be scary.

Comedic horror
Where even though there are ghosts running around, you'll be laughing more than jumping off of your sofa. 

Narrative horror
Puts a lot of importance on the storyline and/or moral values.

Trash horror
Just has jump-scares on jump-scares but a shallow plot-line, if any at all.
