Horror Movies (Top Rated From 1960 to Today)
<p>I created this list based on the book <a href="https://shop.tcm.com/fright-favorites-31-movies-to-haunt-your-halloween-and-beyond-turner-classic-movies-tcm/9780762497621" rel="nofollow"></a><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fright-Favorites-Movies-Halloween-Classic/dp/0762497629/" rel="nofollow">Fright Favorites: 31 Movies to Haunt Your Halloween and Beyond</a> by David J. Skal (TCM, Running Press; 2020), but the list has metastasized way beyond that initial inspiration as I've kept adding to it.</p>
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_fiction" rel="nofollow">Gothic</a> narrative is an art, and its complexity can often be difficult to nail down, which is why I feel gothic films are less frequent than more common styles of Horror media. Gothica also exists on a spectrum, from gothic romance (<i>Wuthering Heights</i>, <i>Jane Eyre</i>, <i>Rebecca</i>) to gothic horror (<i>Dracula</i>, <i>Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde</i>). Sometimes gothic horror and romance intersect so as to be nearly indistinguishable from each other, as in the works of Edgar Allan Poe. These films encapsulate the gothic genre. It's a somewhat subjective list, but I want to include important works of gothic filmmaking, so feel free to suggest anything I may have left out. It is not meant to be exhaustive, however; this list is meant to include only gothic films that are crafted with an exceptional level of understanding regarding the gothic genre. Ordered according to the date of release. Edited over time. <i>Fantasia </i>is here for <i>Night on Bald Mountain. </i></p>
