I'm not exactly sure what a "really cool vibe" is suppose to mean in relation to horror films and honestly, I'm doing my best not to laugh at the term altogether.
However, in an attempt to hopefully contribute to this conversation seriously enough, here's a at least one title that may have otherwise been overlooked by some:

Brainscan (1994)


This film oozes that early to mid 1990s horror aesthetic with a strong dose of what I like to refer to as that uniquely Seattle Grunge brand of teenage angst.
Edward Furlong's character possibly has the coolest bedroom I've ever seen in a film as far as "dark and dingy suburban dwellings" go.
The exterior shots in the film are also vaguely reminiscent of early episodes of The X-Files (1993) which is both appealingly moody yet firmly grounded.
Brainscan (1994) is a very fun and fairly simple horror movie with a visual aura that may just be "cooler" than what it really deserves.
If you're a fan of MTV (when it was still actually MUSIC Television) and R.L. Stine's Goosebumps book series, you will probably dig this film for the nostalgic comfort blanket its atmosphere provides.

I could provide a few other titles but my selections would probably seem rather "unconventional" because my concept of a "really cool vibe" for a horror film typically equates to a "uniquely odd but pleasing atmosphere".

The Lost Boys should be number one on every list. Need to edit mine.

Haven’t seen The Monster Squad in decades. Got the 4K but saving it for October.

I feel the definition is so unclear that almost any horror movie could fit the bill lol.

Title might just as well be "List some horror movies".

Another honorable mention: From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

[Al_The_Strange]

I'm interpreting "cool vibes" as movies that have a bigger focus on style and atmosphere that gives off a vibe I can superficially appreciate. In this context, I'd pick these:




Honorable mentions to Annihilation, The Exorcist, The Omen, all the John Carpenter movies, Beyond the Black Rainbow, the Dark Castle remakes, and Silent Hill.

[stvn1974]

The characters in John Carpenter's The Thing seem like they are pretty cool most of the time.
