As horror fans, we are constantly seeking out the new and the different. Because the genre is marked by so much sameness—sequels, franchises, remakes, copies of copies—it can sometimes be a challenge to find those horror films that truly carve out their own space. They don’t even have to be great movies, necessarily; many times, “different” is enough to make us happy.
With that in mind, here are 10 horror movies currently available on the terrific streaming service Shudder that are, if nothing else, different from almost anything else you’ll watch this October. They vary in quality from title to title, but what even the roughest among them lacks in technical polish, it more than makes up for in sheer maniac insanity.

There's a great moment when the dust-caked heroes of On the Road reach Ozona, Texas, on the way to El Paso. Dean Moriarty decides they should loosen up a bit. "Disemburden yourselves of all that clothes!" he advises. "What's the sense of clothes?"
His obliging wife, Marylou, gets her kit off, and his friend Sal Paradise does the same. They're in one of those broad-beamed old cars with a bench for a front seat, heading west into the setting sun. "Every now and then a big truck zoomed by; the driver in the high cab caught a glimpse of a golden beauty sitting naked with two naked men. You could see them...
