If you're into horror that’s a little weirder and way darker than your average slasher, Hellraiser is definitely worth checking out. It’s got creepy vibes, wild creature designs, and a story that dives into some seriously twisted territory. Plus, it introduces Pinhead who is one of the coolest and creepiest horror icons out there. It’s strange, gory, and totally unforgettable. Give it a watch if you’re up for something bold and a little messed up (in the best way).

lots of great recs here, but if you want horror that is more based in storytelling and has a bit more on its mind than just slashers or gore you should check out folk horror or older horror films from the 60s/70s. as others have recommended, The Wicker Man (1973) is a must. Rosemary’s Baby (1968) is also a classic. The VVitch (2015) is also fantastic as an intro to more conceptual horror. you said you wanted deeper cuts, so check out Viy (1967) or Alucarda (1977), both of which i’ve posted more detailed recs for on my profile. also!!!! i don’t know how you feel about silent/b&w films but Nosferatu (1922) is an all-time genre mainstay that still holds up. Ari Aster’s work is great but it’s probably more gruesome than you’re looking for. have fun!!!

crimson peak, bram stoker’s dracula, nosferatu, the others. perfect spooky atmospheric stuff. i’m also a fan of slashers like scream, my bloody valentine and halloween because who isn’t. and as for movies that actually scared the hell out of me, try religious horrors like the excorcist, prince of darkness, the omen and rosemary’s baby.

I live in Chicago! Depending on where you're staying, there's a bunch of cool things to do as Chicago is a city of neighborhoods.
Wicker Park and Logan Square are popular neighborhoods to check out and they're on the cheaper end. California Clipper, Rainbo Club, and Common Decency are bars that are worth checking out. I know that Common Decency has a happy hour 4-6pm 7 days a week.
If you're into movies, check out the Music Box Theatre! It's a 95 year old arthouse movie theatre in the Southport Corridor/Lakeview neighborhood that shows independent and second run films. Speaking of Lakeview, Clark Street is pretty popular if you're going to check out Wrigley Field! There are bars up and down the block so you won't need to walk far to find a place to drink at for cheap.
If you need any more ideas or recommendations, let me know!
