Freaky masked killers, demonic possessions, and supernatural entities take center stage on this list, with a range of different horrors to watch in the last month of the year, so find what tickles your fancy and sends shivers down your spine.

The Conference

5.7 on IMDb

Work events can often be a bore, however, this conference is anything but, as a group of municipal employees gather for a company event where their own internal corruption turns out to be the least of their worries.

With an unknown killer on the loose, taking them out one by one, this company conference quickly becomes a terrifying fight for survival and a must-watch slasher movie, complete with a healthy balance of nerdy comedy and gore, and dry, dark Swedish humor to add the icing on the cake.

The Rope Curse 3

4.9 on IMDb

Picking up where its predecessor left off, The Rope Curse 3 is another haunting tale of demonic forces and exorcisms rooted in Taiwanese folklore. The third installment follows an up-and-coming parkour athlete from a family of exorcists who becomes involved in a series of frightening supernatural occurrences at an eerie hotel.

Although the story attempts to explore and integrate other cultures, and rides on the popularity of the previous film, many felt that it missed the mark when it came to overall execution and general intrigue within the story.

Suzzanna Kliwon Friday Night

5.8 on IMDb

A modern remake of the 1986 film Malam Jumat Kliwon, Suzzanna Kilwon Friday Night takes some of the key plot points of the original supernatural horror and breathes some fresh and chilly air into this Indonesian horror with curses, shamans, and a vengeful resurrection.

The movie follows the journey of a heavily pregnant woman who is cursed by her husband's jealous first wife to die a horrible death after giving birth, but her story doesn't end there. A demonic Suzzanna returns from beyond the grave, seeking her baby and revenge. Many fans found that there were more moments of hilarity than horror in this flick, but who doesn't like a few laughs in between the scares?

Disco Inferno

3.8 on IMDb

Demons and dance moves come together in this short horror film as a young couple visit one of LA's hottest clubs to practice their best moves for an upcoming competition, but are confronted by a creepy demonic entity that hungers for their unborn baby. Did we mention that fans love the fact that the club is located in a creepy old Catholic church?

Let the flashing disco lights of the 1970's draw you in and jump for the unexpected scares in a chilling story that unfolds over the course of just under 20 minutes.

Bayi Ajaib

5.1 on IMDb

The only thing that could make demonic possession more terrifying is when it happens to a child, and Bayi Ajaib's depiction of this made it an instant hit with fans.

A remake of the 1982 original of the same name, whose title translates to "Magical Baby," Bayi Ajaib follows a wealthy man in the village of Hirupbagja whose reputation and family come under attack after his young son is possessed by a vengeful demonic spirit. Bayi Ajaib was another excellent addition to the Indonesian horror scene, receiving praise for its well-executed scares and theatrical elements.

Killer Book Club

4.6 on IMDb

A group of student horror literature enthusiasts end up in a horror story of their own when their dark shared secret catches up with them in the form of a masked killer clown who takes revenge and picks them off one by one.

Unfortunately, this movie didn't go over well with fans, as many found plot holes in the revenge horror and unlikable characters, despite the movie's interesting storyline and relatable slasher tropes.
