I absolutely agree. After the decapitation I was like wow, what's next.

[@wormwood8071]

It's shit

[@SFBenjaminK]

3 movies i give U , just out this year & saw them in theaters, is going down the scariest movies of the year list TALK TO ME , COBWEB & WHEN EVIL LURKS, all of them well done & scary , Talk to me is on VOD..COBWEB came to HULU & when Evil Lurks is on Shudder/AMC+ or VOD

[@usthefolksmusic]

@chrism1060 right, so early on into the movie and then we have no idea what's to come.

[@Remmy0930]

Agreed. Hereditary should have been in the top 10. It's actually pretty sad that no modern horror film will ever crack the top 10 of any list no matter how good it is because the classics will never lose their position... and rightfully so, but at the same time I'd take Hereditary over a film like Jaws any day of the week. The dread and sheer helplessness that Hereditary makes you feel is crazy. The atmosphere of that film is amazing.

[@RamZar50]

Lots of great horror movies in the following decade (1973-1982): - The Exorcist (1973) - The Wicker Man (1973) - The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) - Jaws (1975) - The Omen (1976) - Carrie (1976) - Suspiria (1977) - Dawn of the Dead (1978) - Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) - Halloween (1978) - Alien (1979) - The Shining (1980) - An American Werewolf in London (1981) - The Thing (1982)

[@RamZar50]

@Kroenen_Editz Battle Royale is from 2000 which is outside the decade I listed (1973-1982).

[@RamZar50]

@Kroenen_Editz The movie is based on a book of the same title by Kōshun Takami and was published in April 1999. The movie was produced in 2000 and released to Japanese movie theaters in December 2000.

The wicker man.... yes

Don't forget The Thing from 82

​@@reemounstablemixesIDK maybe your favorite sucks. My favorite is scream 6 and I'm basically the only person who likes it

[@DarkFortressPictures_Official]

It shouldn’t be on the list. It’s an awful freaking movie.

[@brandoncameron2686]

I’m just happy that horror movies from the 1970s were well represented in the top 25. Carrie, The Omen, Suspiria, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Jaws, Halloween, Alien and The Exorcist. The 1970s was the best decade of horror ever. A lot of underrated horror movies in that decade as well. Like Magic from 1978 starring Anthony Hopkins and 1977’s Martin by George Romero.

[@olvialee7221]

Tell that to my dad. He was a kid when he saw Carrie, The Omen, Jaws and The Exorcist gave him nightmares

[@jdunn501jd]

Why? We got the basic idea, but every aspect is better.. aside from Cronenberg. Fuck everything you said.

[@jdunn501jd]

I want to be very clear about this particular issue. F*** off.

1970s were great for All movies, so they say.

What about It's Alive. And the Incredible Melting Man.

[@AkaneaKurayami]

Child's Play being so low is criminal

the entire list is a mess

[@humberto022]

[@robogreek3157]

Its a cult classic. .and a good film. But very corny and a lot of fun...with a great performance from douriff. But its ranked correctly. Get out being top 10...and jaws and holloween not top 5 is the real issue. A nightmare on elm street only 20 was the biggest issue

[@heatherlayne8533]

Sinister not being on this list is a crime

[@davsny5]

Its so scary and deserves to be on this list, Hills Have Eyes 2006.

[@szechuon6971]

100%! Especially when a study was done back in 2022 saying it caused the greatest spike in heart rates.

No...JAWS

[@rpgfairyplays9410]

I'm sadden to see People under the Stairs was not mentioned. I feel it's been lost to time. truly a sad horror film and one of my favs.

[@sweetinsd]

Yes

[@hellhound1389]

It was good but not truly memorable

[@Werkfluencer]

No Sinister to be found on the list? That's unfortunate since "science" proved that Sinister has a big impact on someone's body, brain and heartbeat.... but loved the video and have a couple of movies put in my watchlist

[@mr.decencykeepinitreal6348]

My top 8 most favorite slasher film classics are: 1. ‘Psycho.’ 2. John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween.’ 3. ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street.’ 4. ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.’ 5. ‘Scream.’ 6. ‘Child’s Play.’ 7. ‘Sleepaway Camp.’ 8. ‘Friday the 13th.’

[@sweetinsd]

The cabin in the woods is the only one on my tops. 13 ghosts Uninvited The skeleton key Gotta claim the ones that stick with me.

[@ChatPOPPAT]

The Shining has to be in the top 3, if not no 1.. that whole movie is Fucking creepy

[@chrism1060]

​@@sweetinsd13 ghosts is so underrated.

[@danmoynihan1777]

Child’s Play was way too low on the list.

[@moxxietheimp2237]

I agree. Psycho is definitely the greatest horror movie. The twists in the movie were absolutely diabolical for it's time. The soundtrack, all strings, takes you on an unforgettable journey of madness and horror. The shrieking of the violins still haunt me.

[@joshuanelson6795]

216: Going to be honest here, I’m not really a horror fan but I do love the Scream franchise. Rest in Peace, Wes Craven

[@chrism1060]

Amen to that. The Scream movies will always hold a special place in my heart.

That usually tells all you need to know when people who aren't horror junkies love scream but we who live in the darkness can't stand scream and the slasher sissy ghost face

[@topeogunmakinwa9347]

Carrie (1976) is one of the BIGGEST INSPIRATION to Brynhildr in the Darkness (2014). Brynhildr in the Darkness (2014) would have never existed if wasn't for Carrie (1976) Carrie (1976) is one of the Best Horror Movies of ALL-TIME and Brynhildr in the Darkness (2014) is one of the Best Horror Anime of ALL-TIME. Carrie (1976) and Brynhildr in the Darkness (2014) are true Horror Classics.

[@bridgetclement2968]

I will have to check out the Anime. I love Carrie. I also love CARRIE 2

[@V2_V_Squared]

If Phantasm isn't on the list I'll have every one of them arrested.

[@laustcawz2089]

If "Phantasm" is on the list, then "Burnt Offerings" needs to be there as well. "Burnt..." was the first film to use Dunsmuir House as a set. For "Phantasm", it became Morningside Mortuary & has been used for a few other films as well.

[@V2_V_Squared]

@TheCrispOne2024 I don't know, I haven't seen it yet because I arrived home very late last night from the Villisca Axe House

[@Taylorstyles101]

Child’s Play should’ve been higher! Also Halloween deserves top 5!

[@jonathangamez6714]

I agree but they don't know what they're talking about bro I don't think they know s*** about horror movies in my opinion they should have been way higher like seriously I don't get me wrong cycle is a cult classic but really when it I agree but they don't know what they're talking about bro I don't think they know s*** about horror movies in my opinion they should have been way higher like seriously I don't get me I agree but they don't know what they're talking about bro I don't think they know s*** about horror movies so I agree with you there an exorcist should have been number one

Rambo and Superman to name but two in live action. Optimus Prime and He-Man to name but two if they're including cartoon characters.

[@ElizabethMcCormick-s2n]

"Freaks" is one of my favorite movies, horror or otherwise!

[@thelostronin]

Minor quibbles, but overall a good list. It's hard to pick from the top three, but I'd put Exorcist over Psycho. Disappointed that Talk To Me didn't make the list - it's fantastic! Also where is event horizon? Best scifi horror movie ever!

[@SFBenjaminK]

also COBWEB was really good & scary, LOVED that one 2 ..if u don't care about subtitle movie is a new movie out is call When Evil Lurks , is f*n really good & scary

[@Suiteness73]

I was also expecting Event Horizon to be on this list. It's so freaking good!

[@slystone4892]

The Others is another masterpiece that deserved to be within the top 20.

[@ΝτιμιΑργυροπουλος]

The most objective top 10 list I usually find on internet is: 10)Night of the living dead 1968 9)Rosemary's baby 1968 8)Jaws 1975 7)The thing 1982 6)Alien 1979 5)Psycho 1960 4)The shining 1980 3)Halloween 1978 2)The exorcist 1973 1)Texas chainsaw massacre 1974 For me, instead of Jaws and Rosemary's baby, should be Nosferatu 1922 and Don't look now 1973

[@justapeacefulmanwhosbornin7291]

‘Night of the Living Dead.’ ‘Dawn of the Dead.’ ‘Day of the Dead.’ ‘Planet Terror.’ ‘Shaun of the Dead.’ ‘World War Z.’ ‘Zombieland.’ ‘Return of the Living Dead.’ These are my top 8 favorite zombie movies. 🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️

[@nicholeponiewaz5591]

No Jeepers Creepers? Kujo? Maximum Overdrive? Pet Semetary? People Under the Stairs? Children of the Corn? Cabin Fever? Sinister? Silent Hill? So many iconic horror movies left out for some movies on this list that are actually thrillers. Honorable mentions like Pumpkinhead, The Leprechaun, Silver Bullet, and Dead Silence.

[@Deeva4eva]

Just watched the Omen yesterday. Horror Movies are my favorite genre of movies ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@bridgetclement2968]

Have u watched the Others??? Omen 2 is good. So is Omen 4

[@Scream358]

Not a bad list. Missing movies like Ginger Snaps and Doctor Sleep

[@Lemon_hellyeah]

Pennywise is so much scarier than Saw, Scream, Halloween and much others.

[@isaacsatar9304]

The original SCREAM is my favourite.

[@chrism1060]

It's definitely the best of the franchise. No other comes close.

[@isaacsatar9304]

@@chrism1060 Which is saying something because the scream franchise is remarkably strong still. edit- well at least it was

[@SFBenjaminK]

shyt me too, i was in Highschool back in 90s, loved the first one with my buddies saw it in theater all the new ones is B.S..i saw couple of movies lately in theaters, is well done & scary, really liked it > Talk to me & Cobweb .. there is a Spanish movie my friend told me about is call When Evil Lurks , looks scary asf ..gonna check it out this week-end with subtitle

[@xcamster9409]

The Wailing being that far down the list hurts. It’s criminally underrated and unappreciated

[@Nitemerican]

Texas Chainsaw or Halloween isn’t Top 5? Insane.

[@olavgiil]

Was mindlessly going to watch youtube the next few hour. Then i see this absolute banger pop up. Thanks watchmojo❤

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! This is an awesome collection of the best horror movies. I haven't watched more than half of the movies on the list. 🤣

How in the world does psycho beat The Exorcist? Exorcist is way scarier than psycho....😂

[@yannhollister9091]

yes but Psycho is a better movie all around.

[@machjiffy4710]

Honestly the top 3 could all be changed around. They're all the best in terms of their respective parts of the genre. (psychological, satanic/gruesome imagery, and slasher)

[@akirashamma5092]

The Exorcist should've been number 1, its by far the greatest horror movie of all time.

[@ishanbhasin9381]

Would it be possible for u guys to make a top 100 movie characters of all time- similar to your top 100 tv series characters of all time?

[@ExotikaKnight]

Great list compiled here. 70's well represented, and it's very well deserved. Two titles, that were left out, come to mind. "Amityville Horror" has been on most lists that I encounter, for as long as I can remember. "When A Stranger Calls", with Carol Kane, is one that I believe should be on all lists, just because of the impact its climax had on society. Babysitting took a very noticeable hit, for a short time, after the release of this movie.

[@davsny5]

When a Stranger Calls and its 1993 sequel are two of the scariest films ever and The Hills Have Eyes 2006.

[@user-em6ie2be7x]

The SAW franchise is definitely in my Top 3.

[@wachirarisky4284]

That's my number 1 go to. I just put my list of u wanna check it out

630: Le Manoir du Diable The best known of these early supernatural-based works is the 3-minute short film Le Manoir du Diable (1896), known in English as both "The Haunted Castle" or "The House of the Devil". The film is sometimes credited as being the first ever horror film.

Hereditary is my all time favorite horror film. I never thought a modern horror would take my all time favorite spot but it managed to do that and then some. Amazing film.

The Hills Have Eyes 2006 and When a Stranger Calls 1979.

[@mundanemorselsmundanemorse7028]

Fun list. For me, Jacob’s Ladder is the best psychological horror movie ever, even better than your #1. The way it weaves horror with PTSD and experiment drugs is masterful. For pure fun and scares, Insidious would be way up the list for me, and I’d have Sinister there with it.

Invasion Of The Body Snatches (Don Sutherland version) 4. Alien (Aliens as well but I feel that's more action than horror) 3. The Thing (80's remake) 2. The Exorcist 1. The Shining

I’m cool with F13 coming in at 60. Betsy Palmer called the script a POS before she agreed to take the part of Pamela Voorhees. While she made the movie watchable, we only see her for 5, maybe 10 minutes, tops
