TCM is an absolute classic so I don't mind it being #1. 

 

THE CAME MONSTER 

[SylMacPer]

Where's the Substance? 

 

Salo and Carrie don't belong in the Top 10, especially with Alien being #11. 

 

Some titles are definitely… choices… Hostel II

Suspiria barely making it as well

[Capris Groove]

Anyway, all tea, this isn't a very good list. Like others have said, it skews way too much to pre-code/silent horror films, which were actually all very similar (monster, woman in peril, gothic house, oh my). You've seen one you've seen them all.

 

There is no world in which The Mummy from 1931 is better or more impactful than The Blair Witch Project, Scream, Dawn of the Dead, etc. The truly groundbreaking films of that day were Nosferatu, Dracula, Frankenstein, and King Kong. The rest were just derivatives of that formula.

 

And Les Diaboliques above The Shining? Eyes Without a Face above John Carpenter's The Thing?  75% of the list above A Nightmare on Elm Street? Give me a break.

 

With that said, I LOVE the banner.

They actually snapped with that. 

[punisher]

i wish they would stop putting some of these boring ass movies just cause they're "classics"

talk to me clears most of these

[Jack!]

This list is kinda busted. I'm all for respecting classics, but they're not encapsulating 75% of the top 100 horror movies. I get being trepidatious about uber modern horror and it's lasting impact in pop culture, but there's plenty of horror films that have came out in the last 10 years alone that are some of the best that I've seen.

The hell they did. The Shining is an all-time classic that could have been #1, maybe even the best-directed horror movie ever made.

Sorry, you're barking up the wrong tree here because I think it's one of the most overrated movies of any genre. It could've been missing from this list and I wouldn't have noticed.

Fair enough. I also love Diabolique just fine.

Some of these shouldn't be considered horror like tf is Jaws & King Kong doing there? And most of the list are ancient movies  

 

Rant aside, Halloween deserved to be higher and so is the Thing, 28 Days Later.

Yeah I didn't know movies like Frankestein, King Kong was considered horror  

 

Also, just realized The Blob is ranked #77 like 

[Capris Groove]

Not The Blob.

 

And yeah, M from 1931 is not horror.

[X~MoviePoP]

Dont breathe is better than half these films and so is longlegs

[DREAMERS]

Although there are a lot of good movies on the list, I don't know how Human Centipede was picked over any of these…

 

[Mordecai]

No The Descent? List cancelled, scariest movie I've ever seen. REC deserves a nod too

getting a real "old movies good newer movies bad" vibe from this list aside from the easy token recent picks like Get Out and The Babadook. Which isn't too far from the truth I suppose, but horror's really gone through a sort of renaissance in the last decade that should probably be more thoroughly reflected here

 

Quite a few I haven't seen though.

there's more recent movies on there than just those 2, there's a ton from the 2000s as well

because they're movies that came first and created a genre which everyone after took from? pretty simple, also there isn't just old movies, there's a lot from the 2000s how is that old for an all time list?
