Best Horror Movies of All Time

Have we not discussed A Quiet Place and its sequel? What a fantastically effective premise for a horror film, brilliantly executed.

Slips more into post apocalypse sci-fi, which doesnt mean horror is excluded, but doesnt come to mind as a horror flick itself. That said, nothing is as terrifying as Cormack McCarthy's The Road if we are going down..ugh...that way .

Hey, does anyone know if Mark Zuckerberg is on record as being a fan of The Evil Dead? Because his website appears to be named after the Necronomicon

I thought it was fine (mostly) but I know people who absolutely could not buy the premise and refused to give it a chance...

Another excellent movie that I would definitely consider horror even though it’s about an alien invasion. The cat and mouse suspense is definitely more horror-based.

The Dead Zone was relegated to the horror bin, even though neither the book nor the movie were scary. Thriller, maybe; horror? Nah. There could be an entire list of those.

Dracula isn’t exactly scary but no one would claim it isn’t horror.

The same goes for all of the Universal monsters. Except maybe the homunculi in Bride of Frankenstein. Although even they are more creepy than scary per se

Do you think The Dead Zone is horror? In the book, there's that serial killer storyline (early-on) and that bit is scary, but the rest of it (book and movie) is just a political drama. I'd say it's more of a thriller with supernatural overtones. That's what I meant, especially by "not scary." This is also what I was saying about The Hidden, although I agree that it's more firmly rooted in Action/Sci-Fi; the overall concept is horror, I think. Horrific, anyway. I don't know about Dead Zone.

True, but Dracula features vampires and the Supernatural. I suppose dude (from The Dead Zone) is a psychic and that counts as Supernatural, but still. Arlington Road has moments of, I guess, "horror," but it's a political thriller.

How about that flick with Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino - where Pacino was the devil? Was that horror? That film kind of falls squarely in the middle of what we're discussing. I barely remember it, but I don't think it counts as horror... I can see the argument, but I (personally) still don't think it's horror. But you're right about Dracula.
