ScareCompass — Horror Trailer Companion & Scare-Type Watchlist
A horror-first streaming companion that tracks upcoming horror trailer drops (like Other Mommy's), tags them by the exact kind of scares they use, and matches new releases to your fear profile.
Horror movie fans who actively track upcoming releases and want to know what scares to expect
- Trailer-drop alerts for upcoming horror films with director and prior-film context
- Scare-type tagging (psychological, possession, creature, body horror, home-invasion) on each trailer
- Personal fear-profile quiz that ranks new releases by what will actually unnerve you
- Director/actor horror filmography context (e.g., Rob Savage's prior scares) so you can calibrate
Other Mommy's trailer drop immediately sparked audience comments about whether the preview matches the movie — horror fans want a faster signal layer than waiting for reviews.
Horror Drops app exists serving this exact use case (upcoming releases + trailers + watchlist), and r/horror 'Dreadit' is a mature community, but the cited 'Other Mommy' trend shows only modest search volume, suggesting a vocal-not-massive audience.Horror Drops - Apps on Google Play ↗r/horror subreddit stats ↗
Horror Drops already tracks upcoming horror releases, trailers and watchlists; WhenJumpScare tags scares; Letterboxd dominates social film tracking. ScareCompass's scare-type + fear-profile angle is the only real differentiator.Horror Drops - Apps on Google Play ↗Track All Horror Movie Jumpscare Timestamps | WhenJumpScare ↗Best Movie Apps for Horror Fans — Ranked | TasteRay ↗
Horror-adjacent services do charge — Screamify at $2.99/mo, Shudder at premium tier — proving niche willingness to pay, but ScareCompass is a companion (not core content), capping ARPU potential.Screamify™ Independent Horror Streaming Platform ↗Shudder Subscription Plans, Price And What's Included ↗
Horror is a perennial genre with steady annual release slates; r/horror has thrived for over a decade; trailer-drop hype cycles are an entrenched habit, supporting multi-year relevance.r/horror subreddit stats ↗New and Upcoming Horror Movies and Series - IMDb ↗
TMDB/YouTube trailer APIs and basic recommendation logic are well-trodden; the scare-type taxonomy + fear-profile matching is additional curation/ML work but feasible for a small team.Best Movie Apps for Horror Fans — Ranked | TasteRay ↗
