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.
We watch Halloween III: Season of the Witch every Halloween night, going on 20 years now. Similarly, we watch The Blair Witch Project on our anniversary each year.
Last year we decided to make Pontypool our Christmas horror movie---so here's to a new holiday tradition.
ps. Mrs. French's cat is missing.
Before it gets too hot in the summer, I love watching Dead & Buried and The Fog for its beachy-but-still-cold vibes.
I'm right there with you on Winter snowy movies. Obviously Black Christmas but The Thing and The Shining are musts.
House of a 1000 corpses, motel hell, Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
I'm super into seasonal horror, and I'm constantly watching movies based on the time of year.
For summer I like slashers too, and really any 80s movies. It's also when I like to watch the dumb teen horror. Summer movies (80s horror): Prom night, Prom night 2, Death Spa, Return of the Living Dead, CHUD, Slumber Party Massacre, Slumber Party Massacre 2, Night of the Demons, Pledge Night, Hell Night, Slaughter High, Chopping Mall, Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge, Friday the 13th Franchise
Summer movies (other): Summer of ‘84, Truth or dare, Wish upon, The bye bye man, Slenderman
For autumn I like haunted house and Halloween movies, and more supernatural stuff that's actually creepy. Also the various rock horror movies they've watched on Best of the Worst. Autumn movies: Hell House LLC, Hellfest, Haunt, Extremity, Halloween Party, Terrifier 2, The Houses October Built, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, Hack’o’Lantern, Trick or Treat, Black Roses, Rocktober Blood, Scream, NoES and Paranormal Activity Franchises
And for winter I like, big surprise, winter and cold weather horror. Winter movies: Frankenstein Theory, Frozen, The Shining, Devil’s Pass (The Dyatlov Pass Incident), The Thing, We are Still Here, Wrong Turn 4, 30 Days of Night, The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Pontypool, Wind Chill, Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin, No Exit, The Curse of Aurore, The Last Winter
In spring I just watch whatever else is available.
Thank you, that's a great list of good stuff. I haven't seen night of the Demons in Ages, popping that beast into a playee asap!
My fiancé and I like to watch It (the new one) and the Shining close to Halloween time. Also the Halloween movies, for obvious reasons.
She likes to watch the Scream movies in the summer.
Beyond that, I don’t really look for an excuse to watch horror movies. 😅 I just watch them whenever.
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.
Living in Florida a definite summer favorite for me is Crawl. Especially when its raining or a hurricane is on the way.
The Lost Boys is pretty summery
