      You can watch From Beyond or Rabid.

      If you want something very out there, Dr. Caligari (the 80s one) is truly something different. I haven’t seen the original. A lot of erotic elements and body horror in there. You’ll know in 10 minutes if you hate it.

      I’d say Under the Skin might be erotic body horror. I thought the social commentarfy of this is great, but wouldn’t watch it a third time.

      It Follows could be considered erotic horror I guess, bit wouldn’t say so myself.

      Really anything Cronenberg and some of the Lovecraft movies are good. From Beyond has Jeffrey Combs.

      I think there’s a sweet spot on the 80s for body horror with a recent revival.

      Giallo films probably overlap as a subgenre with not with body horror so much, they’re often proto-slashers. There’s also a lot of Canadian films of that time due to the tax credits that ended up erotic horror, which is why we have Cronenberg.

      There’s kind of a resergence – Succubus, Suitable Flesh. I hear there a lot of anime, but that’s not my thing.
