15 Horror Movies That Mean More Than You Think

🎙️ Not all horror is about monsters.

This week on A.J. Chat, we dive into 15 horror films that go way deeper than jump scares and gore. These stories use terror as a tool—revealing hidden truths about grief, addiction, capitalism, racism, control, and the parts of ourselves we’d rather not see.

🔪 Featuring:

  • The Babadook (Grief)
  • Get Out (Racism & Consumption)
  • The Witch (Religious Repression)
  • Hereditary (Inherited Trauma)
  • Jaws (Capitalism)
  • Rosemary’s Baby (Control & Autonomy)
  • Alien, Midsommar, Nope, The Invisible Man… and more.



These aren’t just horror movies.


They’re reflections. Warnings. And sometimes… confessions.
