Interactive Horror and Entertainment

Random Horror Movie Picker

Can't decide what to watch? Filter by sub-genre, decade, mood, intensity and length, then let the picker choose.

Intensity

Mood and intensity are CreepyHQ ratings, so choosing either picks from the 155 films we have rated.

Films you have been shown are remembered on this device, so they are not picked again until you have seen every match.

Set any filters you like, then press Pick a movie.

How to use it

  1. 1. Set any filters you want: sub-genre, decade, mood, intensity and maximum length.
  2. 2. Press Pick a movie.
  3. 3. Not feeling it? Press Pick another; recent picks are not repeated.

A curated list, not an algorithm

The picker draws from a hand-maintained list of horror films, from silent-era classics to recent releases. Release years, running times and directors were checked against Wikidata; the sub-genres, moods and intensity guide are our editorial tags, meant to help you choose rather than to grade the films.

Intensity runs from 1 (atmospheric and suitable for the easily rattled) to 5 (graphic or relentless). Running times are the commonly listed theatrical versions; director's cuts and streaming versions can differ by a few minutes.

The picker does not check where a film is streaming; availability changes too often and varies by country.

Questions

Where does the film information come from?

Year, running time and director were checked against Wikidata. Sub-genres, moods and intensity are CreepyHQ's editorial tags.

Can it tell me where to stream the film?

No. Streaming availability changes constantly and differs by country, so check your services.

Will it pick the same film twice?

Not until it has worked through the films that match your filters.
