Black Box Horror has something for every type of horror fan!

Welcome to Black Box Horror — your home for all things spooky!

I’m Caley St. John, a lifelong horror fan who just wants to grow my little community of friends who love scary movies as much as I do. I especially love found footage horror and indie films, so send me all your recommendations! I also like to include “trigger warnings” with my recommendations whenever I can, because I truly believe everyone deserves to enjoy a good scary movie that works for them, their preferences, and their own mental health.

Featuring horror movie news, curated recommendations, deep dives into your favorite scary movies, and a dedicated space for a community of horror lovers to chat and interact, I hope this page will have something for horror fans new and old.

🩸 New Articles posted Monday, Wednesday, and Friday starting in February! 🩸 Posts in the Community Chat daily, so don't forget to subscribe and join the conversation!

🍿 Send me your horror movie requests and recommendations for future videos!
