That's hard to say what the best horror movie is since many people might consider certain movies as horror and others wouldn't consider those same movies as horror. For instance, "Jaws" or "Alien".

However, I do have two favorite horror movies that are clearly horror movies.

The 1960 British film "City of the Dead" which was renamed (and edited to remove two scenes) in the US as "Horror Hotel". In an ironic twist of fate, this movie is not copyrighted in the US, so you can watch it for free on YouTube.

The 1965 British film "Dr. Terror's House of Horrors" also available on YouTube at the moment. The ending is priceless.

Both of these movies star the late great Christopher Lee who, in Star Wars, played Count Dooku. Also in "Dr. Terror...", Dr. Schreck was played by the late great Peter Cushing who was Grand Moff Tarkin in the original Star Wars movie.

smahala1991 · Answer

Last Night in Soho is a good one

Leapfrog00 · Answer

Here's a list of the more interesting ones, rather than "Kill, kill, kill," lol.

Fright night (1985 version) is one of the best horror movies I've ever seen. The special effects make it look so real! This one's a vampire film. One of the better ones no doubt!

"Night of the creeps" is another good one. In this one, these little slug-like creatures slide into people's bodies and turn them into killers. It's kind of a horror/Comedy

"Prom night" (1980) with Jamie Lee Curtis. I love her! lol A great horror, but also mystery film!

"The Final girls" with Taissa Farminga is another awesome movie. That ones about a girl who loses her sister in a car accident and later, she's watching a horror movie with some friends and they end up getting sucked into the movie, and it all turns real.

"Psycho" (1960) if you're looking for a great classic slasher suspense and horror film, this one will really put you on the edge of your seat.

" Bubba-Ho-tep" Feature's Bruce Campbell. Elvis Presly, or he believes he says he never dies and he's in a nursing home, and this creature is terrorizing the home. This movie was interesting!

"Stir of Echoes" Kenin Bacon is in this one. His sister in-law hypnotizes him and he ends up being able to see ghosts, and he keeps seeing this girl who got murdered, and he ends up trying to solve her murder.

My personal favorites would be Halloween (2018), and Sinister. From these categories, you can sort through it and watch whatever you want.

ENTERTAINMENT:
- Friday the 13th
- Scream
- Halloween (just know it gets worse throughout the series)
- IT Chapters
- Texas Chainsaw Massacre (first one is a bit creepy)
- Silence of the Lambs (many consider this psychological, but I do not)
- Nightmare on Elm Street
- The Thing, 1982
- Alien, 1979 (has a really good atmosphere and is pretty tense later on)
- No Country For Old Men (not horror, but has the MOST intense scene i have ever watched and overall has some horror elements to it due to the antagonist)

CREEPY BUT STUPID: (james wan movies)
- The Strangers (kind of psychological in the beginning, but goes slasher)
- Any James Wan movie: Conjuring, Insidious, Anabelle, etc.
- It Follows
- Saw (first one is good)
- Mama
- Exorcist (not as stupid as the others)

PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR: (the scariest or is very unnerving)
- Hereditary
- Sinister
- The Babadook
- Zodiac (has the creepiest/most tense scene from a horror I've watched)
- Kairo (known for having a very intense/creepy scene that frightens people)
- The Witch
- The Lighthouse
- Mindhunter (this is a TV show, but it I think it has creepy parts and overall makes you think later after seeing it, since it's based on real shit)

I like horror movies but I haven't seen a lot of them. So far Id say the first Conjuring movie was my favorite and the new Hellraiser movie on Hulu is also really good.

White_Widow · Answer

It's a horror/thriller and maybe a bit on the older side nowadays lol, but I really liked: The collector and part 2 the collection.

Anything in the Conjuring series and Curse of La Llorona was pretty good too.
