    It’s the time of the year to be merry again – with New Year just around the corner, the plans just don’t seem to end. However, if, like me, you’d much rather stay at home and snuggle with some hot chocolate while chilling with Netflix, don’t worry, we got you covered. Although the main focus of the holiday season is on light-hearted Rom-Coms and Comedies, we’d like to take you to a different avenue -horror. It is a genre that has a very mixed audience. But, like any other genre, good horror movies are hard to come by. But when they do arrive, boy do they surprise. So, while we enter a new decade, it’s always a good idea to catch up with some horror movies. With that in mind, here are 10 offbeat horror movies to keep you up this New Year’s Eve:

    2. Raw

    And of course, no horror movie list is complete without mentioning The Shining. And once you’re done with that, maybe give a watch to its sequel Doctor Sleep.

    And that’s the end of the list. If you’re interested in more horror movies, check out: IT, It Preys at Night, The VVitch, The Belko Experiment, Veronica (2017), Hereditary, Get Out, A Quiet Place.
