Ok I guess this is kind of horror specific butttttt
Cursed films is a show two seasons every episode deals with the making and BTS of a different “cursed“ movie
William friedkin leap of faith documentary is just so nice it’s like 90 minutes or whatever of him just talking about how the exorcist came to be it’s very soothing
Hearts of darkness about heart of darkness also v good

giallos are my other favorite sub genre but uhhhh check out:
The wicker man (original NOT the Nicolas cage one)
The wind
the other lamb
Messiah of evil (this kind of doesn’t fit but I’m trying to shoe horn it in bc I love )
The ritual
The dark and the wicked
For religious/possession shit I like:
the omen
The first omen
Possession
The devils doorway
Dark waters (90s one)
The others (idk kind of Counts)
The house of the dead
The conjuring series (avoid the like Annabelle spin offs and the one called something like the devil made me do it)
Horror movie docs are also a great way to learn about the different genres and stuff my favorites are:
In search of darkness (the first installment - you gotta stream it on like a sketchy site I don’t think it’s anywhere else)
Eli Roths history of horror
cursed films
Horror 101

Some of the heaviest hitters:
* Season 1, Episode 4, Jenifer, dir. Dario Argento — a married detective rescues a seemingly developmentally disabled young woman (who has a beautiful body and a disfigured face) from being murdered. He finds out that she was sent to live at a mental hospital because she has nobody to care for her, so he takes her in to live with his family and develops a psychosexual obsession with her. This is adapted from a 1974 comic by the same name.
* Season 1, Episode 8, Cigarette Burns, dir. John Carpenter — Norman Reedus plays a movie theater owner who’s grieving the loss of his wife to suicide and needs money to pay back his father-in-law. He’s hired by a wealthy collector played by Udo Kier to find a lost cursed film, La Fin Absolue du Monde. It’s Carpenter’s goriest and arguably scariest work.
* Season 1, Episode 10, Sick Girl, dir. Lucky McKee — two shy quirked up weird girls, unlucky in love but with so much to give—an entomologist, Ida (played by Angela Bettis, star of McKee’s May!) and an artist, Misty—find each other after Ida receives a strange package with an unidentifiable insect. They feel a connection and plan to go on a first date but Misty gets bitten by the bug and starts acting… off…
* Season 1, Episode 13, Imprint, dir. Takashi Miike — one of my favorite horror films EVER. It was so graphic and disturbing that Showtime decided not to air it and to just release it on DVD. In Meiji era Japan, an American journalist goes to a brothel on a remote island to search for Komomo, the love of his life, a Japanese sex worker he left behind years ago. A mysterious disfigured woman tells him the tale of Komomo’s fate…
