Seasonal horror favourites? (sopuli.xyz)

Do you guys have any seasonal horror favourites, either books or movies, that tend to come arounf yearly?

Do share christmas horror etc, but I'm more interested in horror for spring, summer, fall, any specific time when you find youself drawn to a particular horror media.

For summer, we tend to watch slashers. The Burning, Texas Chainsaw, Slumber Party Massacre, Toxic Avenger, Scream, Friday the 13th and Hatchet have been yearly contenders ever since the rona.

Fall is the time for gothic, supernatural and bleak horror. Paranormal activity, Sinister, Conjuring, all that jazz. Not to mention all the Halloween-themed stuff.

Krampus is the definite christmas movie, but Död Snö, The Thing, Blood Glacier, The Shining, 30 days of Night and Gremlins feature heavily when snow starts pouring.

Midsommar is the summer-iest horror movie I can think of, aside from the summer camp slasher types. They can be super fun. The recent Fear Street trilogy on Netflix had an entry like that, the second if I recall. Might rewatch it soonish.

For books, I'm very fond of The Elementals by Michael McDowell as a Summer read.

Can't think of any other seasons right now, it's too bloody hot.
