So let’s get started: The 100 best horror films of all time.ĭirectors: Eduardo Sánchez, Daniel Myrick In the oddest of ways, horror movies help us overcome our own fears. Horror cinema speaks toward the dark side in all of us, allowing us to confront the most frightening, primal forces we struggle with every day-death, and human malevolence-in a way that is actually constructive in strengthening the psyche. One thing is for certain: With all the films that were nominated, we could easily have made this list 200 entries long. In others, you’ll find yourself surprised to see us going to bat for films that don’t deserve the derision they’ve received. In some cases, you will likely be shocked by films that are missing. There are foreign films from around the globe, entries that range from 1922 to 2021. There are also likely a handful of independent features that will be unknown to all but the most dedicated horror hounds. There are classic films on this list, of course. And so, we give you the following: A practical, must-see guide through the history of the horror genre.

We’ve even given you the likes of the 50 best zombie movies of all time, the 50 best slasher movies of all time, and the 100 best vampire movies of all time, if you can believe that.īut we also clearly need a true “master list,” one that can include entries from any and all subgenres. Case in point: We have so many writers focused on horror that we’ve produced huge lists of the best horror films on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu that are all updated on a monthly basis. Several Paste staff writers and editors are lifelong horror geeks, and there’s also a strong sentiment toward the macabre among several of our more prolific contributing writers. We are fortunate-some would say “cool enough”-to have quite a lot of genre expertise to call upon when it comes to horror in particular. This list has been a long time coming for Paste.
