Most Influential Horror Movies
Not necessarily good movies, but movies that defined the genre, movies that caused scores of copycats and remakes.
The original Psycho was the first psychological thriller. The start of the twist ending.
Best ever. Nothing else to say.
This movie spawned its own genre. The stir this movie cause was nothing short of impressive. Now it may seem laughable, but at it's time, this movie was IT.
The scariest thing about this movie is what you DIDN'T see! Not knowing what was seen is what creeped me out the most!
Ever heard of Cannibal Holocaust?
This movie has terrified millions of viewers, and started the exorcism genre with a bang. Whether or not you think it's scary now, it was the monarch of scary movies for decades.
Simply the best horror movie of all time
Black Christmas and Texas Chain Saw Massacre existed four years earlier. Halloween is great, but it's not the first slasher.
Halloween created the slasher genre. Friday the 13th and many others have Halloween to thank for their creation.
The Grudge stylistically influenced many movies. One of the creepiest movies of all time.
It's quite scaring but Japanese version is more horror, I guess.
This film is responsible for it's own sort of sub-genre.
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
I can see dead people, they're everywhere.
Not even that gory. Great movie though.
Ultra gory and ultra messed up.
Zombies. Need I say more?
Showed the many creative and impossible things that can happen in a horror movie. Also it gave people another thing to fear: Sleep.
This scared all the scare out of me, so frightening!
Best movie ever
