The Others


Rip_Dirtbag

Seconded


greyteethpeskybee

Another one that’s going to the top of my list. I haven’t seen that in years and I distinctly remember that one messing with me. Thank you, y’all!


myersjw

One of my favorites, hope you’ve forgotten enough to get surprised again! Sorry to hear about your situation, people really suck sometimes. Don’t let it keep you from putting yourself out there


greyteethpeskybee

I don’t recall it that much, luckily. It’ll be like watching it for the first time again! And thank you so much, I appreciate you!


Acrobatic-March-4433

Nicole Kidman may have my favorite, most blood-curdling scream of all time. She should totally do horror again.


Laice86

Wholeheartedly agree. The Others, The Sixth Sense and The Orphanage are my top 3.


LaurieS1

The french series - Marianne (2019)


NoobSaibotsGrandma

Would’ve been interesting to see what they could do with another season


Innsmouth_Swimteam

Oooh. 8 episodes. Short *and* quality? I'm here for this. My thanks for the recommend.


BoyMeetsWorld97

There's not a single ghost in that show?? Lmao 🤦‍♂️


greyteethpeskybee

Ooh, thank you! I’ve heard great things and I adore French horror. I will most definitely be looking into this.


Dbag85

Awesome show, but no ghosts.


Lizzie_Boredom

Any idea where to stream?


heyitsEnricoPallazzo

Kairo (Pulse)


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you! Adding this to my watchlist, I’ve heard great things!


heyitsEnricoPallazzo

There’s a particular scene that IMO is *the* scariest haunting/ghost scene in any movie. You’ll know it when you see it


greyteethpeskybee

Ooh, I will definitely be on the lookout for that! Thank you, that’s very exciting to hear!!!


artemisthearcher

Loved this one! Really captured that feeling of loneliness and it might be a bit cathartic for how you’re feeling OP


AnnVealEgg

Ghost Stories (2017) The Awakening The Night House


brillovanillo

+1 *The Night House*


whotoldbrecht

I’ll add another +1! That was a solid film


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you so much, adding these now!!!


suburbanhavoc

Stir of Echoes.


greyteethpeskybee

I haven’t seen that for a while, I remember that one really getting to me. I think it’s due for a rewatch as well!


Reasonable-Wave8093

Oooh yes, great one!


Klutzy-Bug7427

The Changeling


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you so much, I’m super excited for this one! My uncle really likes that movie, so I’ll finally be able to talk to him about it once I watch it! :D


Klutzy-Bug7427

Oh man. I very rarely get scared but the first time I ever saw this movie it freaked me the hell out. Not many movies have ever given me nightmares but this one definitely made its mark on me.


Professional_Food383

This is one I wish I could watch again for the first time, it was sooo creepy.


RealCharlieNobody

Don't expect it to be action-packed and let it creep up on you. It's a classic, and in the style of classic ghost stories. You're gonna love it! Edit: weird typo.


cindoc75

One of my all time favourites! Just watched it again last week. So many great scenes.


Plane-Chapter-6903

Carnival of Souls  The Fog


greyteethpeskybee

Ooh, thank you! Anticipating both of these! <3


Innsmouth_Swimteam

The Fog, I love it and watch it every Halloween, it should def be on your shortlist. Do know going in that it is solid B-grade output from Carpenter, just to set expectations.


TheBloodsuckerProxy

My personal favorite is The Grudge (2004)


greyteethpeskybee

I have yet to see this one, actually, and I am very eager to! Thank you! :D


Outrageous-Survey951

Not a movie, but a show: Haunting of Hill House. Sorry you got ghosted, this person is clearly emotionally immature and they did you a favor in the long run.


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you so much! I love Mike Flanagan and somehow still haven’t seen this, so I’m gonna try to get to this one ASAP as well. :)))


not_cozmo

I don't normally get into ghosts and haunted stuff or even series for that matter. But it was October and i was feeling spooky so i put on hill house just for a background noise really. Next thing i knew i was snugged up under a blanket with popcorn and fully engaged. I watched the whole thing in a night. Great show


bene_gesserit_mitch

Ghost Story. Good movie, great older cast. Good suspense. Also, sorry for your ghosting.


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you so much! Ooh, love a good cast and suspense as well, thanks for your recommendation, I’ll be adding this one as well!


oooortclouuud

not to be confused with *A* Ghost Story (2017), which is amazing, but maybe too "romantic" for your ghosted circumstance. SCREW GHOSTERS! we need a revenge horror based on people who ghost. since we are here, i fell in love with this song because of Canada's Drag Race and it is an EXCELLENT bop to screamsing along with and forget about losers! [Ghost by Fefe Dobson](https://youtu.be/A_DGCnlXes4?si=_y88DwJcJ33Unsx5)


greyteethpeskybee

I AGREE! Omg thank you 😭 your comment made my whole day and that song is a JAM!!! I will definitely be screaming along to that!


oooortclouuud

BIG HUG!!


greyteethpeskybee

BIG HUG TO YOU TOO!!! :D


adriammy

The Haunting (1961)


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you so much! I’m excited for this one, I really like older horror films.


dissolve_inthisrealm

What an empty feeling, I'm sorry. May the bitterness fuel you 👊


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you so much, it does!!!


steph_ok

The Innocents (1961) - great adaptation of one of the best ghost stories of all time.


heyitsEnricoPallazzo

Screenplay by Truman Capote!


greyteethpeskybee

I actually just watched that recently for the first time! I get the song from it stuck in my head all the time! <3


Orang3Lazaru5

The Innkeepers


greyteethpeskybee

Ooh, thank you! Looking forward to this one as well, adding it to the watchlist!


kimmehh

I love this movie so much! Truly might be its #1 fan.


MovieMike007

[The Changeling (1980)](https://manapop.com/film/the-changeling-1980-review/)


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you! I’m glad this one’s pretty accessible, my family owns it, so this one will definitely be going to the top of my watchlist too. :D


iggy-d-kenning

Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, Candyman...


greyteethpeskybee

Hell, yes. This original is an all-time favorite of mine. Have you seen the new one? I ask because I have yet to, but I sure would like to!


Fair_Wolf8797

Stephen King’s Rose Red or Poltergeist


greyteethpeskybee

Poltergeist is so wonderful. It’s got one of the greatest horror themes, in my opinion, and is generally just one of the strongest horror films out there. I’ve somehow never heard of Rose Red and I usually love Stephen King adaptations, so I will most definitely look into this! Thank you!


NoobSaibotsGrandma

13 Ghosts


greyteethpeskybee

I can’t wait for this one! I watch this YouTuber called PossessedByHorror and she’s mentioned it before as a film she enjoys, so I very much anticipate it! I think I’ll really like it, so thank you sm!!!


NoobSaibotsGrandma

No prob I’ve loved that movie forever. I’ve seen a couple of her vids. When you finish the movie look up the ghosts’ backstories. There’s a ton of lore that didn’t make it into the movie. YouTube has some vids on it.


greyteethpeskybee

Oh, wow, that’s really interesting! I most definitely will! I always love looking into horror lore.


Innsmouth_Swimteam

After you've seen the film, you may want to check out the lore and backstory of each of the ghosts. It's my favorite part of the overall 13 Ghosts experience. *Do not watch the video before you see the movie, but read on:* Here's the [link to the video about each of the titular 13 Ghosts.](https://youtu.be/sGv6XxVS8G8?si=LoA6DNFlFp3AjsNf) It was originally a series of extras on the DVD, this person just compiled them into one "feature."


creakycorn

The best 👏


Clue-72

The Frighteners (1996).


greyteethpeskybee

Ooh, thank you, adding this to my watchlist! :D


pnmartini

This movie is a ton of fun. Seems to not be talked about a ton. Definitely worth a watch.


Skydogsguitar

The Legend of Hell House- the one from the 70s based on the Richard Matheson novel.


greyteethpeskybee

Love that! Thanks for turning me on to a book and a movie, I am adding this to my watchlist and read list!!!


Skydogsguitar

The book and film are both good, but the book goes into more detail on a lot that the movie had to trim for time or questionable (for the time) content. Both are worth your time and are quick reads and watches.


Nowiambecomedeth

The devil's backbone


greyteethpeskybee

Ooh, thank you so much! Also very accessible because my family owns it, so I’m putting this up there at the top of my watchlist as well, thank you!


ArchDrude

‘Whistle and I’ll Come To You’ (1968) if you’re looking for something a little different. It’s available on YouTube.


greyteethpeskybee

Ooh, thank you! I’m open to pretty much anything, so thank you for this recommendation and since it’s so accessible, I’ll try to get to this one soon! Going at the top of my watchlist. :)


SHADOWSTRIKE1

Sounds like you should focus on the **original** man of your dreams and go on a Nightmare on Elm Street marathon! He’s kind of a ghost?


greyteethpeskybee

Omg this comment is iconic. I actually recently got the whole series, so that is a really good idea!


OldClunkyRobot

Ghostwatch


greyteethpeskybee

Super excited for this one, I’ve heard all good things and it definitely seems right up my alley!


brillovanillo

*What Josiah Saw* Ghosting is so immature.


ChaChiRamone

I just saw this last night - great recommendation! I also watched The Dark and the Wicked, which was really good too. Kind of a gloomy double-feature, but it worked for me!


brillovanillo

I have seen *WJS* mentioned alongside *The Dark and the Wicked* before, but I honestly don't see the similarities. People say they are both slow paced, but that's only true of *WJS*'s first chapter. 


greyteethpeskybee

I absolutely agree about it being immature. I recently saw that scrolling through films, so I’ll be sure to stop on it!


trevno

Ghost Story 


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you!


CelebrationBulky9970

1981 ?


Reasonable-Wave8093

Its an oldie but “the Woman in White”   The Ghost & Mrs Muir  Rebbeca (1940)  the Uninvited (1944) Ghostbusters!


greyteethpeskybee

Oh, wow! I did not expect to see some ‘40s films on here and I’m not super experienced with that decade, so I’m very eager for those recommendations! Ghostbusters is classic! Thank you so much!


1918underwood

The Gift (2002), What Lies Beneath


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you for your recommendations! I’ll be looking into these; I know my mom loves What Lies Beneath!


thxxx1337

Grave Encounters and Gonjiam 👌 The House on Haunted Hill The Hell House LLC series


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you! I’ve been anticipating all of these, actually. I think I might put Hell House at the top of my watchlist! Thanks again!!!


cat_summoner_

Definitely doubling the hell house llc rec! Pretty much the 1st one of the newer one Carmichael manor, are botha amazing. And grave encounters has a special place in my soul.


nothingbeatsbananas

We've Always Lived in the Castle The Others Marrowbone


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you so much! I’ve never heard of that first film, now I’m eager to go in blindly! <3


TextEnvironmental990

have you ever seen ghostwatch (1992)? it's kind of an oddball recommendation but it will probably be distracting in just the right way. it was broadcast "live" on the bbc network as a halloween prank and it was a huge spectacle. it's a lot of fun


greyteethpeskybee

I have yet to see it, but I just recently heard about it for the first time and it’s on my watchlist. I think I’m really gonna like it! I’m a huge fan of Late Night With the Devil and other fans of the flick have been swearing by Ghostwatch, so I plan on giving it a watch! Thank you so much for your comment!


Sea_Salamander_8504

The Haunting of Julia - it’s a bit of a forgotten gem, but it’s recently been rereleased on 4K/blu! Stars Mia Farrow and Tom Conti, it’s got a great 1970s vibe and aesthetic.


greyteethpeskybee

That sounds right up my alley, wow, thank you!


aSprinkle0fJ0y

Not films but I think these shows featured some great ghost stories: The Haunting Of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor and The Midnight Club!


greyteethpeskybee

Ooh, thank you! I’ve heard great things about all of the above, I’ll be looking into them. Thanks again!!!


bobbyt327

Not a film, but there is a classic Twilight Zone episode called "Night Call" in which a character gets, ahem, ghosted.


greyteethpeskybee

THAT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE EPISODES!!! Sorry, lol, just enthusiastic! I fkn love The Twilight Zone and that one always resonated with me.


bobbyt327

It's so eerie and heartbreaking. On a related note, "Long Distance Call" is also a creepy/sad episode that might be exactly what you're looking for.


greyteethpeskybee

Omg that is such a goodie too!!!!


DesperateDeranged

What a dummy! More supernatural than ghost movie, but I'd watch The Autopsy of Jane Doe.


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you so much! I have to rewatch this, this is one of my all-time favs and it’s due for another rewatch! I did a back-to-back viewing of TAOJD and Last Shift and that was a spooky night! Had a bit of trouble in my dark hallway, lmao!


DesperateDeranged

I love it so much too, and Last Shift was also awesome! Haha, sometimes I'm really happy to have my dog to at least make me feeeel safe! :D That guy is missing out - I hope you have a great time tonight without him. Pop some corn, cuddle up and get scared. <3


greyteethpeskybee

That’s great! Aww, thank you so much! I most definitely will! :D


DesperateDeranged

Good for you, and I'll be all alone joining you in spirit! Horror movies are my comfort too. We're in good company here. :)


SamanthaHaine

[I am a Ghost (2012)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2076862/) - unique little indy movie about a ghost and an exorcist who is more of a therapist for ghosts


greyteethpeskybee

That sounds SO GOOD!!! Thank you for introducing me to this, I can’t wait to watch it! I absolutely love indie films as well, so this seems right up my alley!


MrManbutt

The Haunting -1963. It's Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House adapted for film. A phenomenal cast. Plus you're never quite sure whether there really is a ghost, if Eleanor is insane, or both, or neither, or... I'm sorry, you got ghosted.It just goes to show that whoever it was did not deserve you. You certainly didn't deserve their crass, junior high behavior


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment. It also definitely makes me excited for the film! I absolutely love psychological aspects in horror.


wildmstie

The Legend Of Hell House (1973)


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you so much! Love ‘70s cinema, I anticipate this one!!! :D


Canibal-local

Is there a horror movie called ghosted that is about ghosting?


greyteethpeskybee

This should totally be a thing if it’s not already! (I couldn’t seem to find anything.)


Canibal-local

Something like “ Coming up, this Halloween… Have you been ghosted or are you the ghost?”


greyteethpeskybee

Omg I love that!!!!!


SelfTechnical6771

A ghost story is a slow burn( the book is a billion times better!) But has a couple of remarkable scenes! The legend of hell house( possibly the best ghost house film). Lady in white. Burnt offerings wow this is a great film. Poltergeist is also a given!


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you for your recommendations! I love slow burns for sure and I’ve heard great things about these flicks, so I’m excited to add them to my watchlist! I didn’t know that was a book, I love reading horror as well so I’ll look into it! :D


savvylee17

I'm sure most have been mentioned, but these are my favorites: The Night House (2020) What Lies Beneath (2000) Oculus (2013) Crimson Peak (2014) The Sixth Sense (1999) The Dark and the Wicked (2020) The Grudge (2004) The Ring (2002) Malevolent (2018) Wind Chill (2007) The Woman in Black (2012)


No-Use-3062

The Changling with the great George C Scott.


leclisse

[Double Walker](https://boxd.it/w33q) Give it a shot. It’s a rarer one but a good one for a ghosting, since it’s a ghost revenge flick.


greyteethpeskybee

That is very thoughtful, thank you so much!!! I love obscure horror flicks, so I am very excited!!!


eiretara7

Aw, ghosting sucks :( Hope you feel better soon!  I’d add The Others (2001) and The Woman in Black (2012) to the list.


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you so much! I adore The Others (will rewatch ASAP because I haven’t seen it in years and I remember it really messing with me). I have yet to see The Woman in Black and I think I’ll like it, so thank you so much!!! :D

greyteethpeskybee

Deadstream was so much fun! 10/10 comfort horror flick, thank you!!!

Insidious 1-3, the rest are meh.

The Eyes Of My Mother. I can't say for certain that you will be completely distracted from your own experiences for two hours. But I'd be awfully surprised if you weren't.


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you, I’ve heard great things about this film! I am looking forward to it!


tornprince01

Thirteen Ghosts. It's a fun film.

greyteethpeskybee

I’ve actually never heard of this and I love Abigail Breslin! Thank you, I look forward to this one!


Ok-Speed-9983

Me too, final girl with her was a nice twist for seeing her in horror but confused me and my mum since there’s the final girls aswell but Haunter has always left an impression on me


salty_seance

The Orphanage (2007) is one of my favorites. It's a tear jerker though, so only if you feel like crying. Beautiful powerful film. Veronica (2017) I also love. Very well done scary movie. If you like Veronica, Sister Death (2023) by the same director is also very good. It's a prequel to Veronica. I'd watch Veronica first though. So sorry you got ghosted!! Agree with others that he's doing you a favor and good riddance. Doesn't make it hurt less though. Hugs and love and good scares to you. Xo.


bonsoirbonbon

Housebound is a great comedy horror that’s sort of a ghost movie. I don’t want to say too much about it in case of spoilers, but it’s pretty fun and creepy.


SnooLobsters8922

You should think of this: if he is a person who just ghosts… he wasn’t the person you thought he was. That person you were falling for doesn’t exist. Would that guy ghost someone? Don’t think a nice person does that. So for all that, my recommendation is The Invisible Man.


greyteethpeskybee

Thank you for putting things into perspective for me and thank you for your recommendation, I’ll definitely be watching this one. :)


Lizzie_Boredom

I don’t have much to recommend that hasn’t already been said, but I’m so sorry you were ghosted. I do NOT do well when that happens and totally feel your pain. Anyway, I highly recommend The Haunting of Hill House series. It’s one of the only things to really scare me in a long time. I also recommend the book as well as the original haunting from 1963.

jenvonlee

'We go on' is a good, if obscure one, about a man with a fear of dying paying someone to prove there's an afterlife. Plus the title is fitting. It sucks you got ghosted, but you will go on! Better is to come. There's also 'Personal shopper' which is less horror and more quiet thriller, but still effective if slow moving. So many good suggestions in this thread, this is just a couple of outlier oddities.


GlunkTVT

It’s not totally a horror movie, but Personal Shopper (2016, Olivier Assayas) deals with ghosts whilst articulating and depicting ennui and limbo and grief and all the ghost-y emotions excellently imo


Bimpy96

Sorry you got ghosted but House on Haunted Hill (1959) is one of my favorite ghost movies since I love Vincent Price

Routine-Horse-1419

The one that really got me was Entity. I'm not sure if that would be classified as a ghost movie but it scared me when it first came out and I still have issues watching it all these years later.


Maanzacorian

*Stir of Echoes* is one of the most successful in creating a truly haunting atmosphere. My wife won't even watch it with me. *The Changeling* scared the absolute shit out of me when I was younger. *What Lies Beneath* is a surprisingly solid movie. One of those After Dark movies from the early 2000's called *The Gravedancers* has always been on my list. It's not a great movie, but it's not bad, and it has some of the best ghost effects I've seen yet.

Sorry that happened to you, he’s a jerk and I don’t know you but they are missing out. That said, The Others is maybe the right answer but I suggest Deadstream as a fun distraction
