Borderline horror, scary thrillers, disturbing dramas, twisted fantasies, dark comedies and overlooked horror. These are part of my October viewings. Do you have an alternative "horror" list for Halloween?

Lifeforce.
Don't look up. (Yes it's a horror movie, the all too real horror of the world being destroyed by corruption, greed and mass stupidity).
I haven't watched The Decent in a while. Really liked it. Might try to give it a watch this season.
I put sci-fi films on the list normally since is a brother genre to horror. As seen with my 31 Films for Halloween marathon I've thrown in the likes of Explorers, Hanger 18 and The Quiet Earth among my horror choices. However I count thrillers as horror, the likes of The Silence of the Lambs is based on the same events of Ed Gein, about the serial killers, and promoted as that in Fangoria. Just a pet peeve of mine.
