20 Awesome Horror Movies In 2025 You Definitely Missed

19. Scared S**tless

And the award for best horror movie title of the year decisively goes to Scared S**itless, a Canadian horror-comedy in which a plumber (Steven Ogg) and his germophobic son (Daniel Doheny) team up to battle a tentacled, bloodthirsty creature which is running riot throughout an apartment building's plumbing system.

Even with evident budgetary restrictions, director Vivieno Caldinelli does a fantastic job of wringing every drop of B-movie absurdity out of this daft premise, aided by a bevy of fantastically creative practical creature and gore effects.

It's the two-hander between Ogg and Doheny which really makes the film sing, though, as a veteran father and his unfussed son reluctantly join forces to rid this building of a creature that's handily working its way through the residents from toilet-to-toilet.

And at just 76 minutes in length, Scared S**tless is a perfectly lean genre exercise that doesn't outstay its welcome by even a second. More films that are this respectful of the audience's time, please.
