From creeping dread to heart-stopping jump scares, the horror genre is immensely popular and constantly evolving, and one of its biggest appeals is its versatility with underappracited subgenres. However, the most well-known horror movie genres tend to dominate the horror world. There are countless demonic or ghostly tales of terror, slasher movies, and stereotypical horror movie characters. However, there are many more ways to scare people while still telling a good story. Horror has countless obscure and underrated horror subgenres, giving audiences new settings, twists, and scares.
Some of the more obscure horror movie subgenres are inventive and surprising. Some, like art horror, prioritize stunning visuals while the plot keeps audiences guessing. The most creative horror movies may have an unexpected villain, like the eco-horror subgenre, or mix horror themes with other genres, like Westerns. Even if a horror movie subgenre is less well-known, it does not mean that filmmakers have overlooked it, and it therefore has few good movies. Many of the overlooked and obscure horror subgenres that are currently lurking in the shadows are packed with movies that you should watch.
10 Abandoned Horror
When Being Alone In The World Is Horrifying Enough
Many horror movies can remind viewers of how terrifying it can be to feel truly alone, but sub-genres like abandoned horror us this terror as the main theme. One of the earliest and most well-known examples is 1964's The Last Man On Earth, which stars Vincent Price alone in a post-apocalyptic world. The concept was later used to inspire I Am Legend and the unforgettable opening scene in 28 Days Later, in which Cillian Murphy wanders around a deserted London.
2019-2024 marks a strong time for the horror genre, and the best horror movies of the last five years showcases exactly why.
In Bokeh, a new couple on holiday in Iceland become the last people on Earth, with no hint as to what happened to everyone else. As the relationship unravels, Bokeh stays both haunting and disturbing until the tragic end. The abandoned horror subgenre doesn't even need an elaborate set. The terrifying short horror movie, Curve, places its character alone on a ledge, fighting to stop herself from slipping into the abyss below. It's an ideal way to isolate a character and increase the tension of the story.
9 Suburban Horror
The Monotony Of A Domestic Setting Becomes Terrifying
Suburbia is supposed to be comforting, domestic, and rather monotonous. Suburban horror plays with this expectation to create an "uncanny valley" style sense of unease. The Stepford Wives makes a 1950s housewife stereotype horrifying, as the husbands in Stepford turn their wives into subservient robots by implanting a nanochip in their brains. Don't Worry Darling uses elements of the suburban horror subgenre, andresembles an updated version of The Stepford Wives.
The Stepford Wives
was first released as a 1972 satirical "feminist horror" novel by Ira Levin, inspiring two film adaptations.
The horror comedy movie The 'Burbs is a parody of suburban horror, with Tom Hanks playing a suburban husband who is convinced that his new neighbors are serial killers. The 'Burbs parodies the fear of new, "strange" neighbors, which pays off in the movie. However, a more sinister take on this fear is Jordan Peele's excellent Get Out, which features the "brainwashing" suburban horror theme while highlighting the racism found in many suburban areas.
8 Cosmic Horror
A Horror That Cannot Be Put Into Words
Also known as "Lovecraftian" horror after the cosmic horror writer H. P. Lovecraft, cosmic horror centers around existential dread. This, understandably, affects the mental state of many cosmic horror characters, and madness is often a running theme in this horror subgenre. The Lighthouse, starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson, contains an unknown horror for anyone who looks into the lamp at the top of the lighthouse and leaves the mystery around the lighthouse open to interpretation.
H.P. Lovecraft's influence can be felt in many eldritch horror movies, from adaptations of his stories to completely original science fiction films.
For monster fans, H.P. Lovecraft's most famous creation is Cthulhu, who appears at the end of the movie Underwater. This is an underrated horror movie that resembles Alien if it had been set under the sea. Alex Garland's cosmic horror movie, Annihilation, is packed with monstrous evolving animals and unexplained phenomena, and a gorier cosmic horror movie is Event Horizon, which is set on a spaceship that has been to hell and back.
7 Campy Horror
The Horror Comedy Subgenre For People Who Don't Like Horror
Campy can be a subjective term, with many critics claiming that "they know it when they see it." Campy horror generally features more fun than fear, but with some horror genre staples like spooky characters and themes. This makes campy horror a good horror subgenre for people who don't like genuinely scary movies. The Rocky Horror Picture Show has aliens, a secret laboratory, and kidnapping, but it is a musical with iconic songs and few (if any) scary bits.
A slightly scarier but still fun campy horror with a monstrous twist is the soon-to-be rebooted Little Shop Of Horrors, with its killer plant, Audrey II, and villainous dentist. Campy horror tends to be deliberately exaggerated so that even the acting is funny in films like Lisa Frankenstein and Killer Klowns From Outer Space. Death Becomes Her, while containing some outdated moments, still holds up as a campy horror comedy about two warring women played to a comical height by Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn. The CGI was groundbreaking at the time, but its dated look adds to the comedy now.
6 Eco-Horror
A Horror Subgenre With A Lesson To Teach
Many horror movies are set in the forest, but the forest is often the villain in the eco-horror subgenre. The Ruins is one of the most disturbing and memorable eco-horror movies, especially when watching it for a second time. The villainous vines are in the shot almost from the first moment, before they are revealed to be dangerous. The Ruins brings body horror to the eco-horror subgenre, and the alternative ending makes The Ruins even more disturbing. Other eco-monsters were the villains in films like The Thing From Another World and The Guardian.
Many eco-horror movies feature a morality tale as part of the plot, casting humans as the villains while nature is defending the planet
Many eco-horror movies feature a morality tale as part of the plot, casting humans as the villains while nature is defending the planet. The quintessential eco-horror movie is 1978's Long Weekend, in which a couple with no respect for nature go away for a weekend, during which nature fights back. In M. Night Shyamalan's eco-horror movie, The Happening, plants develop a defensive toxin that targets humans, forcing them to kill themselves. It's an understated but effective kind of scare.
5 Art Horror
Horror That Is Both Beautiful And Terrifying
Art does not have to be joyful, and while the art-horror sub-genre is often difficult to define, art-horror movies are generally both visually stunning and horrifying. The controversial but influential horror director Lars von Trier's movies are often described as art-horror, with Melancholia centering on two horrors at once. The story follows the depressed Justine, played by Kirsten Dunst, as she faces an impending apocalypse. Both depression and the world's end are treated as equally horrific, and yet Melancholia is beautiful to watch.
The Cell is an underrated art-horror movie that sets many scenes within a disturbing and fantastical landscape in the mind of a serial killer, which child psychologist Catherine (played by Jennifer Lopez) must navigate. Art-horror often combines brutality with stereotypical beauty, and The Neon Demon and Black Swan both do this by combining female grace with body horror, as does the iconic Suspiria. However, Black Swan centers on ballet and leans toward psychological horror, while The Neon Demon is about models, and is much gorier.
4 Techno Horror
When Technology Turns On Humanity
Techno horror, at first, sounds like science fiction, with movies like The Matrix focusing on technology, not to mention action movies like The Terminator. However, the techno horror subgenre embraces the horror aspect of technology rather than venturing into action movie territory. The Ring's scariest scene uses the frame of a television screen to great effect, with the unforgettably jerky VHS-style image of Samara crawling out of the TV screen being the defining image in the movie.
Body horror films are still alive and well in the modern era, with many movies earning their place in the increasingly popular subgenre.
eXistenZ is a techno horror movie by acclaimed horror director David Cronenberg that uses his signature body horror in new ways, as characters test a potentially dangerous videogame that plugs into the user's spine. While eXistenZ's videogame is not as malevolent as its creators, the computer virus in Jim Sonzero's Pulse is. Pulse casts a computer virus as the agent for the destruction of humanity, and the concept was successful enough to inspire two DVD sequels. Other horror movies like Upgrade and MEGAN have filtered tech concepts through horror.
3 Screenlife Horror
In the screenlife horror subgenre, all the action takes place on a screen. This genre is relatively new, but screenlife horror is growing in popularity and is a modern alternative to the found footage horror subgenre. One of the more disturbing screenlife horror movies is 2011's Megan Is Missing, which focuses on the disappearance of a teenage girl. Megan Is Missing does not end well, and serves as a warning against internet predators (as does similar films like 2023's Missing).
Many screenlife horror movies are torture-heavy, but
Host
was based on a viral jump scare prank.
Many screenlife horror movies are torture-heavy, but Host was based on a viral jump scare prank. It has a more supernatural theme and is both filmed and set over Zoom during the 2020 pandemic lockdown. Host has a 99% Rotten Tomatoes score, many jump scares, and is about friends who hold a seance over Zoom, summoning a supernatural entity who begins killing them one by one. Other memorable screenlife horror films like Unfriended have set up entire franchises, while Dashcam explored the other ways the subgenre could be reimagined.
2 Childhood Horror
A Horror Subgenre That Ruins Your Childhood Memories One By One
The childhood horror subgenre makes beloved childhood memories and characters into something terrifying. As the rights to the character Winnie The Pooh became public domain, it was only a matter of time before Winnie starred in a horror movie. Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey was a critical failure, earning just 3% from Rotten Tomatoes critics. However, the premise was too fun not to make a sequel, and, surprisingly, Blood And Honey II was an audience success, earning a 74% positive rating.
The Twisted Childhood Universe is expanding from the success of
Blood and Honey
to cover other fairy tales, such as
Pinocchio
.
Childhood horror is not confined to the Twisted Childhood Universe Franchise, which made Blood And Honey. Sigourney Weaver starred in Snow White: A Tale Of Terror, which is dark, bloody, and underrated. The disturbing experimental childhood horror movie Skinamarink was a viral sensation and took a different approach. Skinamarink took a normal-looking childhood home and family and warped them into something monstrous and unexplainable. Other films like Brothers Grimm twist fairy tales into nightmarish creations.
1 Western Horror
Western Settings Make Surprisingly Versatile Horror Movies
Western movies are a genre of their own, but the settings and tropes that make a good Western movie lend themselves to the horror genre. Western horror movies have often been overlooked, but the critical success of the terrifying Bone Tomahawk has brought a new wave of interest to the subgenre. Bone Tomahawk begins as a typical Western movie, with a kidnapping and a good-guy sheriff, played by Kurt Russell, before turning into a disturbing and brutal monster horror. Other western/horror fusions like Organ Trail, Place of Bones and The Burrowers highlight how well the genres come together.
Bone Tomahawk won praise for its blend of Western and horror elements – just like a cult $2 million Guy Pearce movie released in 1999.
The Pale Door takes another Western movie trope - a heist - and combines it with a common horror movie villain: witches. In The Pale Door, outlaws find themselves at the mercy of witches who were once burned at the stake and now demand to keep one of the men. The story may not be as creepy as some horror movies and it lacks Bone Tomahawk's horrifying death scenes, but it is a fun and scary blending of genres. These subgenres of horror don't get enough attention, and deserve a greater showcase.
