By With Halloween not far away, Variety has posted an extensive list of the Top 100 horror films of all time. Their list spans many decades, mixing film classics from the 1920s through to just a few years ago.
The definition of horror is relatively broad – resulting in a real mix of unsettling, gross, darkly campy and more.
Coming in at first was Tobe Hooper’s original “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre,” which surprisingly beat out “The Exorcist” in second, “Psycho” in third, “Jaws” in fourth and “Rosemary’s Baby” in fifth.
Also making the top ten were “Night of the Living Dead,” “Audition,” the original “Frankenstein,” “Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom,” and “Carrie”.
Just missing the top ten were “Alien,” “King Kong,” “The Silence of the Lambs,” “Nosferatu,” “Don’t Look Now,” “Halloween,” “Les Diaboliques,” “The Shining,” the original “The Mummy” and “Get Out”.
Plenty of classics make the list from “The Night of the Hunter” to “Deep Red” to “28 Days Later,” “Manhunter,” “The Thing,” “The Babadook,” “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” “The Descent,” the original “Suspiria” and more.
You can see the full list at Variety.
