Notes: Not all of the films on this non-exhaustive list are entirely “about” the lives of their respective writers to a tee. I cannot vouch for the accuracy or quality of all of these movies. I’ve only seen about 75% of these films personally. And yes, I know this list is very Westernized – I’m working on it.

You don’t have to answer this, but do you have any light horror recommendations? Heavy horror has a lot of triggers for me, but I do like scary
I can't really know what you consider light vs heavy horror, and what I consider light vs heavy might be different. To be on the safe side I guess I'd recommend films like Beetlejuice, Hocus Pocus, Jaws, Tremors, Nope, Zombeavers, Zombieland, Little Monsters 2019, Thirst 2019, The Menu, Bay of Blood, Friday the 13th, Suspiria 1977, The Return of the Living Dead, The Blob 1988, M3GAN, The Stuff, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, the original Evil Dead trilogy, Snakes on a Plane, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Cabin in the Woods, Chopping Mall, Eight Legged Freaks, Death Becomes Her, Shaun of the Dead, Frogs, the Scream franchise, The Blair Witch Project, the Resident Evil franchise, Trick r Treat, Pumpkinhead, Blade, The Invisible Man 1933, The Host, Fresh, and The Shape of Water, Deep Blue Sea, One Cut of the Dead, Planet Terror, Alien vs Predator, Prey
For some horror that I don't really consider heavy but which others might: 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead 1978, Us, Get Out, Pearl, The Crow, Dark Water 2002, Snowpiercer, The People Under the Stairs, Dead Snow, Train to Busan, Thirst 2009, El Orfanato, Pan's Labyrinth, Evil Dead 2013, Black Christmas 1974, Alien, The Thing, Candyman 1992, Sissy, Ma
