Top 100 Horror Films of All Time
Your official Scariest Things guide to our favorite horror movies! The Scariest Things crew assembled a committee of 30 horror movie experts from all over the industry with some of the biggest horror fans we know, to assemble a comprehensive list of films to serve as a gateway guide for people looking for a good path into the horror genre, or to uncover a hidden gem that you may not have been aware of.
We tasked the jury with naming their top 25 horror films and weighted the scoring so that the #1 selection was worth 25 points, the #2 film 24 points, until we get to the final selection which was worth 1 point. We left the voting criteria open to each juror, and one of the cool things here is that every juror had a different take on their favorites. You may find that if you don’t agree with one juror’s take, you’ll find one that matches your taste in horror… from the comedic horror, to grindhouse, to J-Horror, to vintage matinee fare.
We had an absolute blast putting this list together, debating what belongs and what we wish we could have included. There were a total of 326 films that received votes for inclusion on this list, so there are 225 films that unfortunately fell short. (Note… there is a 4-way tie for 98th place so we actually have 101 films in the top 100… it’s the new math!) Remember, every voter’s list has been posted so you can find those films by reading the top 25 lists.

We unveiled 10 films per week, and then announced them on the Podcast, Any guesses? Here we go!
