Ohhhhh yeah:
Lake Mungo has to be one of the scariest films ever made. It's just straight up creepy, and it doesn't rely on jump scares or gore or anything like that, just great storytelling. I wrote about it for one of the MM posts if you're interested and haven't seen it yet (also, the rest of these are in the niche you're describing, at least somewhat): https://goatfury.substack.com/p/macabre-mondays-creepy
Clue is such a great movie; I hope more folks see it. RIP Tim Curry.
The Awakening was excellent.
Fun list!
