Horror hits

Jennifer’s Body (2009)

Wrongly maligned in its time, Karyn Kusama’s inspired horror-comedy has undergone a bit of a cultural re-evaluation in recent years — or, put more plainly, everyone seems to finally be catching onto the fact that “Jennifer’s Body” rules. Megan Fox plays Jennifer, a cheerleader who finds herself in a classic high-school pickle: She’s possessed by a demon and fueled by a drive to feast upon her classmates’ flesh. Amanda Seyfried is her best friend Needy (yes, Needy) who senses that something’s not quite right. It’s a riot. Also featuring: Adam Brody, Johnny Simmons, Chris Pratt, J.K. Simmons, Amy Sedaris.

My Friend Dahmer (2017)

Based on a best-selling graphic novel written by one of Jeffrey Dahmer’s real-life high school friends, this haunting indie charts Dahmer’s high school years in the lead up to his first murder. Former Disney Channel star Ross Lynch is cast against type as the antisocial loner who would go on to become one of America’s most notorious serial killers. Also featuring: Alex Wolff, Anne Heche.

Grindhouse: Planet Terror and Grindhouse: Death Proof (2007)

This devilish double feature from directors Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino includes a wild zombie flick from Rodriguez (featuring Rose McGowan and a machine-gun leg!) and Tarantino’s enjoyable action thriller, in which Kurt Russell plays a murderous stuntman whose tricked-out cars finally meet their match in a quartet of young women who are also in the movie business. Also featuring: Rosario Dawson, Zoë Bell, Josh Brolin, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Eli Roth. 

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

Tobe Hooper’s hugely influential horror classic introduced the world to Leatherface and set a new standard for goriness in cinema. The kind of movie you don’t want to watch alone (or on a full stomach). Plus: Cannibals! Featuring: Marilyn Burns, Teri McMinn, Gunnar Hansen, Allen Danziger, Paul A. Partain.

Body Bags (1993)

A horror anthology film from legendary masters of the genre John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper, the three stories in “Body Bags” feature performances and cameos from Carpenter and Hooper themselves, plus Debbie Harry, Mark Hamill, Robert Carradine, David Warner, Tom Arnold and many others.
