When spooky season rolls around, everyone talks about horror movies for the jump scares and gore—but let’s be real, some of the best ones are worth watching for the fashion alone. Horror has always had a stylish dark side, with wardrobes that spark just as much inspiration as the plot itself. If you’re a rocker babe with an edge, these films are basically mood boards on screen. Here are my top picks for horror movies that deliver killer fashion inspo:
The Craft (1996)
If there’s one movie that cemented the 90s witch aesthetic, it’s The Craft. Think plaid skirts, knee-high socks, chokers, black lipstick, and endless layers of Catholic schoolgirl uniforms turned grunge magic. Nancy’s rebellious energy and Rochelle’s sleek style are pure alternative fashion goals.
Style Inspo: Layer a slip dress over a tee, pile on the crosses and chains, and finish it off with combat boots. Basically—witchcraft meets grunge.
Queen of the Damned (2002)
Aaliyah as Akasha is the definition of vampiric rock-goddess energy. Every look is dripping with power—leather, metal, ornate headpieces, and pieces that scream “immortal but make it runway.” The whole movie is a visual feast for anyone into goth-glam.
Style Inspo: Corsets, metallic accents, and flowing black fabrics with a dramatic edge. Bonus points if you add body jewelry or statement cuffs.
Jennifer’s Body (2009)
Megan Fox gave us horror’s most iconic cheerleader-from-hell. It’s Y2K meets bloody mayhem—crop tops, low-rise jeans, and band tees mixed with the ultimate femme-fatale energy. The contrast of small-town high school fashion with Jennifer’s sultry twist makes it endlessly inspirational.
Style Inspo: Rocker babes can channel Jennifer with distressed denim, vintage tanks, and heavy eyeliner. Pair it with glossy lips for that lethal-but-glam vibe.
Why Horror + Fashion Just Works
Horror has always been about pushing boundaries, and fashion in these films is no exception. From witchy grunge to vampiric glam, these looks are rebellious, dramatic, and unapologetically bold, exactly the kind of inspo rocker babes thrive on.
So next time you’re scrolling for a Halloween watch, don’t just settle for the scares. Queue up these films, grab a notebook (or your Pinterest board), and take notes. Your next killer outfit might just be lurking in the shadows.
