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.

Spring is good for well, spring. I also enjoy The Loved Ones in spring since it happens at prom time. Trick R Treat on Halloween every year. Rare Exports is a fun one for Christmas. As far as books go, I don’t have specific books that I read every year but I do seem to have specific vibes I want seasonally. Like right now for summer I want fast paced thriller type books, solid “beach read” material, but when the days get shorter, I want slow burn, moody stuff.
