by HDHub4uTop 10 Horror Movies of All Time
1. The Exorcist (1973)
Top 10 Horror Movies: The Exorcist is a horror movie that remains on top of the genre. Directed by William Friedkin and written by William Peter Blatty, this terrifying movie is about a girl that is affected by a demon and the following desperate exorcism. The Exorcist is also good by its suspenseful pictures, ingenious visual effects, and the spookiness in the film that shocked the audience out of their wits and made the film obtain 10 Oscar nominations, a record-breaking event for a horror film.
2. The Shining (1980)
The success of the film is due to the fact that the combination of the supernatural and psychological horror in the adaptation of Stephen King’s novel by Stanley Kubrick was used. Jack Nicholson’s portrayal of Jack Torrance’s psychosis in a confined and snow-covered hotel is iconic. Despite the plot’s ambiguities and a ghost-like feeling, the psychological thriller is still a popular horror movie.
3. Psycho (1960)
Alfred Hitchcock’s movie is still on the list of the horror movies. The scene from the bathroom of a secluded person who is killed and disinfected, which is filmed with the family, is still considered the most impactful and effective. The character portrayal of Norman Bates presented by Anthony Perkins was a groundbreaking as it was the first time that a person was both the bad guy and yet very sympathetic. Psycho is a mother of the slasher subgenre and is still and will be a timeless classic in the field of suspense and mental horror.
4. Halloween (1978)
Top 10 Horror Movies: Michael Myers and Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) were introduced for the first time by John Carpenter’s Halloween. The result of this eerie soundtrack, a lack of bloodshed, and the wish not to provide the audience with a happy ending in a typical horror movie of the 70s was the birth of horror movies with small budget and the inspiration for dozens of slasher movies that followed.
5. Get Out (2017)
Jordan Peele’s thought-provoking, socially conscious horror feature delving into a thematic layered, multicultural story, which is over and above intelligent. What is at first awkward politeness for a Black man who visits his white girlfriend’s family, is soon turned into a much more sinister thing. Peele’s film is very good, raises bones, is culturally significant, and received an Oscar for best screenplay.
6. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
Top 10 Horror Movies: The Tobe Hooper movie dirty, in its rawest form, seems as if a nightmare has been really captured on camera. It’s not gory but it’s more alarming because of the documentary style realism. The film as well as Leatherface later turned into an instant horror icon and the film’s restless pace and negativistic mood may have been as essential to grindhouse horror’s definition as or more than.
7. Hereditary (2018)
Ari Aster is the director of a horrifying movie, which is a combination of haunted family-related issues and supernatural fear. A mother who is mourning the death of her daughter is revealing some horrifying secrets, which gives Toni Collette a role of a lifetime. The film’s terrifying discomfort develops slowly, and the shocking blows, as well as a gloomy environment, all contribute to the creation of a new horror film in Hereditary.
8. Alien (1979)
Top 10 Horror Movies: As well as being about a science fiction story, Alien is also pure horror in space. Ridley Scott’s thriller is set in an enclosed, small space where the crew fights an unknown, scary creature. It is very much the alien design by H.R. Giger and the film’s claustrophobic atmosphere that made it one of the most scary films of that type.
9. The Babadook (2014)
Top 10 Horror Movies: The Australian indie Jennifer Kent presented “The Babadook” as a mix of the creature and the symbolism of the cruel loss through madness. The Babadook is an unnerving presence and a tragedy of humanity at the same time.
10. The Thing (1982)
Undoubtedly, Carpenter’s paranoia-driven sci-fi horror film is one of the most frightening and impressive horror films ever in the sense of suspense and practical effects. The creature of the film that gets the human shape and is also living in a remote station in Antarctica is such a formidable opponent that a sense of trust cannot be realized in any way. When it first came out, The Thing was not appreciated the way it is now and today it is placed as the top horror one.
