People Love These Horror Movies (19 pics)
"The concepts in Nightmare on Elm Street terrify me to even contemplate. None of the old slasher types instilled real life fear in me"
"Alien. It is unparalleled in its ability to "show, not tell". There's very few jump scares, it's mostly nerve wracking suspense. None of the characters are really stupid, they just make dumb decisions with understandable reasons. Plus the xenomorph itself is gorgeous. It's a masterpiece of a horror movie."
"Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)"
"Psycho (1960) - It gave the audiences of the day quite a scare and set the bar for horror and suspense thrillers for decades to come. Perfect."
"Hereditary"
"Scream.
The first one was a great mix of horror and comedy while also being a parody of horror movie tropes"
"The Silence of the Lambs"
"Tremors (the FIRST movie) is a perfect monster movie.
A blend of monster movie, dumb-seeming intelligence and great characterization, it hits all the tropes, angles and tension of classic monster films, while at the same time subverting and changing them."
"The original Carrie (1976) captures the horrors of teenage girlhood brilliantly"
"28 Days Later
It's not the scariest movie on this list, but it is a perfect masterpiece of a movie. Great story, beautiful scenery, fantastic music, tension, dark side of humanity. 10/10″
"The Exorcist. Still the scariest."
"Cabin in the Woods.
Perfect take on the stereotypical horror movie tropes that we know, while also still having suspense and fear."
"The Shining"
"The Blair Witch Project.
I know the whole “found footage” genre has been done to death now, but this was one of the first movies to adopt this method and it worked beautifully. You have to remember that this movie came out before the internet/social media... so when the marketing material claimed it was real, there really wasn’t much of a way to disprove it.
I still remember leaving the cinema as a 15 year old shaking with fear. A superbly made, suspenseful horror movie which still holds up to this day."
"Coraline. I think people forget about this because its children's horror, but it's a perfectly paced movie. The way the movie builds tension and horror, along with the artwork, music, and character designs, means the viewer is never allowed to get accustomed to the horror on the screen. I recommend it to anyone who likes horror, adult or child."
"The Thing"
"It Follows.
Amazing music, original plot, and over all just a great movie"
"Halloween"
