Personally, I love horror comedy. I find a good one endlessly rewatchable. Cabin in the Woods, Return of the Living Dead, Tucker & Dale, Scream, frigging Killer Klowns from Outer Space! Definitely my favorite.
Otherwise I’m really into paranormal & zombie horror. I think that would make up my top three. Fast > slow zombies.
Eldritch. And not just “this guy is old”, but some real eldritch shit. The monster has plans and somehow a regular person just happened to get in their way. There is no hope, no reason, no chance of survival. The only thing the character can do is mitigate the damage to their psyche.
Have you seen The Void? Not too many people know about it, but I think it should be right up your alley.
Nice. I’ll give it a look.
