Time Out proudly presents the 100 best horror movies, as chosen by those who write in, direct, star in and celebrate the genre.
Time Out polled well over 100 horror enthusiasts – including big names like Roger Corman, Guillermo del Toro, Simon Pegg, Clive Barker and Alice Cooper, and horror legends like Coffin Joe, Kim Newman and Tom Six – and came up with a definitive top 100 list.
The list was first produced in 2012. The list was revised in 2016 with the inclusion of new voters, including Stephen King.
After the top 100 I have included the runners up: every film nominated by the contributers.
Pssst, want to check out the Time Out's best horror films list in our new look?
