I'm finding I like suspense and thrillers more these days, though I do still enjoy black comedy (Ready or Not was tremendous fun, but I think that's because it was over-the-top just enough). It helps to look up behind-the-scenes footage of the Terrifier films, as the team genuinely seem to have fun making them. It's just that the final product is so grueling with not much else to balance it out.
There are a lot of excellent indie horror shorts on YouTube as well, from some clever 10-second-horror contests to Kane Pixels' The Oldest View series. The clever and innovative stuff really appeals to me, especially when it's a film that builds slowly and moves in unpredictable ways. Slashers all have the same vibe, so cranking up the violence is kinda all they've got.
