Let Polygon recommend a horror movie just for you

polygon.com:

At heart, every horror movie boils down to a few basic, fundamental fears that touch us all, but there are infinite variations on those basics. Horror movies span a broad range: Some are mildly dark fables meant to make children laugh, while others are shocking stories trying to make adults afraid to sleep with the lights off.

And everyone has different tastes in horror movies. Some people are looking for character-based drama where every death feels like a tragedy. Some fans just want to watch the bodies pile up. One horror devotee might be looking for catharsis and comfort, where another one wants to be challenged with something they’ve never seen on screen before.

And there’s so much horror out there right now. Widely accepted as a low-cost way for first-time filmmakers to break into the industry and as a great gamble for studios hoping to spend a little to earn a lot, horror movies are crammed onto every streaming service — and then there’s the streaming service solely for horror movies. So how does anyone make sense of it all and pick the next horror movie that’s best for them?
