The 250 greatest Horror movies in film history, as seen by John Milton.

For me horror is above all about mood, built up tension. A jump scare can be quite fun and very effective, but there's more to it than that. This list aims to reflect the broad variety of horror films that have been made the past 100 years or so, from german expressionism to the socalled New French Extremity subgenre, and everything in between.

Feel free to comment what you feel I absolutely should have put in there, or how I totally effed up the order of the list :)

Best regards, John.
