It’s Father’s Day, a day to celebrate fathers, stepfathers, and father figures. To celebrate them, we’ve got a list of horror films featuring dads, both good and bad.

The Shining

You don’t get much worse than a dad trying to kill his entire family. That earns Kubrick’s classic a spot on this list.

The Mist

Frank Darbont’s adaptation of Stephen King’s tale features a father who would do anything to protect his kid. The film’s ending is one of the most shocking in film history.

Where to watch: Netflix, Apple TV

Pet Sematary 

Pet Sematary is the second Stephen King adaptation. In the film, a grieving father discovers a way to bring his boy back, ignoring his friend’s warnings. A remake of the film was released in 2019, but I highly recommend the 1989 original version.

The Stepfather (1987)

As the two men get to know each other, he becomes increasingly suspicious of the man who is always there to help.
