Favorite horror movies

By Kirkletonn· August 12, 2026 · 15 items ·61 views

These are in a very loose order, mostly in rankings of 5 (so 1-5 would be by highest favorites, so on and so on) but these are probably my favorite horror movies I have watched in my time. Sure there are a lot of classics I left out and thats not me saying they are bad, I am just saying these ones are special to me and really stand out.

Cheers if you like this post — or let them know you're salty about it. Tap a number to see who reacted.

This movie came out during a hard time in life and its themes and plot spoke to me closely. I love the action, acting, score and everything about it.

Peele's best work in my opinion. I love the twist that turns the alien ufo subgenre on its head

Love seeing Evil Dead remake love, though. And Hell House is way better than it has any right to be. Kind of surprised you have so many movies that are only a couple years old on here.
