The Best Horror Movies of All Time

Posted on by

IndieWire recently posted their choices for The 75 Best Horror Movies of All Time.  It’s an eclectic list.  Of the 75 films listed, I’ve seen 44.  Using just their list, here are my top ten in alphabetical order.  I picked films that I felt were the scariest (we’re talking horror after all), and not necessarily the best.

  • “Alien” (dir. Ridley Scott, 1979)
  • “Birds, The” (dir. Alfred Hitchcock, 1963)
  • “Exorcist, The” (dir. William Friedkin, 1973)
  • “Fly, The” (dir. David Cronenberg, 1986)
  • “Get Out” (dir. Jordan Peele, 2017)
  • “Halloween” (dir. John Carpenter, 1978)
  • “Night of the Demon” (dir. Jacques Tourneur, 1957)
  • “Night of the Living Dead” (dir. George Romero, 1968)
  • “Psycho” (dir. Alfred Hitchcock, 1960)
  • “Thing, The” (dir. John Carpenter, 1982)
