We dug into Shudder’s increasingly impressive catalogue to find the best horror films worth your time

The Amusement Park George A. Romero shot this short film for the Lutheran Service Society of Western Pennsylvania when they hired him to produce something about ageism. The result shocked them to such a degree that it was basically buried for a half-century, now available exclusively on Shudder. It’s a stunning chapter in Romero’s filmography, featuring his incredible skill with framing and undeniable social conscience.

Behind the Mask Scott Glosserman co-wrote and directed this mockumentary that kind of plays like Behind the Music but for the greatest movie slasher that you’ve never heard of, Leslie Vernon. After playing at SXSW in 2006, the film barely got released, but it built a loyal following at home because it’s so wickedly smart. The only tragedy is that we have yet to get a sequel.

Carnival of Souls One of the best horror movies ever made, Herk Harvey’s 1962 film is an early cult classic, a film made for almost no money that became an influential masterpiece. Candace Hilligoss plays a woman who starts having terrifying visions after surviving a car accident. These visions lead her to an abandoned carnival. You can see this film’s DNA in hundreds of horror movies to follow, but it’s still wonderfully creepy when judged on its own terms.

Color Out of Space Richard Stanley co-wrote and directed this adaptation of the H.P. Lovecraft short story of the same name, marking his first time behind the camera since the disastrous 1996 production of The Island of Dr. Moreau. This one went much better. Nicolas Cage plays the patriarch of a family that moves to a remote farm, at which a glowing meteor seems to crash in the front yard. And then things get really weird in a way that only a Lovecraft movie can.

The Deeper You Dig Billed as an Adams Family Production, this is a real labor of DIY indie filmmaking love for a husband/wife writing/directing team, who also star alongside their daughter. It’s the tale of a single mother whose daughter is killed one night in a roadside accident. The driver covers up the accidental death, leading to a tear in the fabric of supernatural happenings. It’s creepy and effective.
