Do you like your historical horror in the deep dark woods? What about with samurai or a ouiji board?

When did horror cinema begin - 1895, or 1818? Would a campy shark mask make gothic literature better, or much better? This week, the chilling documentary "1000 Women in Horror" drops on Shudder, the Saw compendium hits Netflix and Tubi picks up everything from Irish changeling flick "Hole in the Ground" to "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Shark." Also, "Undertone" was technically very scary ... until the narrative got too confusing to be creepy.

This week, Shudder runs the gamut of new and trippy found footage with Bodycam and Hostile Dimensions.

Sometimes, aliens land with fully armed mech warriors. Other times, they hover in ominous bricks. We've got a little of both this week with War Machine hitting Netflix and Monolith dropping on Shudder, plus sharks and anacondas aplenty on Tubi.

Also, Tornado on Hulu felt more like a hard freeze, Jack Black has a gateway horror party on Netflix and Shudder picks up more old school flicks with killer titles.

Also, the director and star of Backcountry, a "beary" scary movie, reunite for zombie horror in This Is Not a Test.

How do you like your folk horror? Campy and with a kung-fu twist, or with a classy checkered suit in the Scottish highlands?
