Only the genre's greatest masterpieces feature in our list of horror classics, with everything from Stephen King's 'The Shining', to 'The Exorcist', 'Wicker Man', and the original 'Texas Chainsaw'. Slashers, supernatural, and psychological - this collection has it all!
Known as the slasher's heyday, the 70s has a lot to offer horror-hounds, and we've collected the cream of the crop. Check out 'The Other' for a suitably creepy hidden-gem featuring a set of twins on an isolated farm; one seems like a norma little boy, the other... not so much.
The best horror movies based on works penned by master of the macabre, Stephen King. Includes Stanley Kubrick classic 'The Shining', psychological thriller 'Misery', and relatively recent haunted-house horror '1408', starring none other than John Cusack.
Although his most famous film is probably 'Scarface', Hollywood legend Brian de Palma was also behind more than a couple horror classics in the 70s, including Stephen King's 'Carrie' and the supremely creepy 1973 smash-hit 'Sisters'.
Movies in the vein of 'Jumper' or 'Limitless': where normal people are granted supernatural abilities, only to learn the wisdom of Uncle Ben's adage 'with great power comes great responsibility'. Mainstream superhero movies excluded in favor of more realistic, and often grittier, narratives.
Horror movies that make you cry? Absurd though it may sound, this collection of films is bound by the single most frightening monster of all: loneliness.
Listen we've all done it: accidentally killed someone in high school via prank gone wrong. But only some have those victims return and haunt us in supernatural form. These movies are about those unlucky few.

Whilst Stephen King's no stranger to low-budget made-for-TV movies, he's also responsible for some all-time classics; 'The Shawshank Redemption', 'Stand by Me' 'Misery' and 'Carrie'. Just don't get him started on 'The Shining'...
