Who Doesn't Like Scary Movies? Check out the top voted Scariest Horror Movies Ever.
THE EXORCIST (1973)
The first film to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, William Friedkin's adaptation of the same-named novel about a child who is possessed by a demon and struggles to drive the demon from his body is the highest-grossing R-rated horror movie ever.
HEREDITARY (2018)
Dark family drama about the nature of grief wrapped up in a supernatural horror movie, written and directed by Ari Aster, made a big impression with his feature directorial debut.
THE CONJURING (2013)
With movies like Saw, Dead Silence, Insidious, and this chiller based on the experiences of real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, James Wan has established himself as one of the current masters of horror.
THE SHINING (1980)
Literally dozens of Stephen King’s novels and stories have been adapted for the big screen, and several of those films are considered classics today, like Carrie, Misery, and Pet Sematary (and that doesn’t even account for non-horror stuff like The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me).
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974)
The gritty look of Texas Chainsaw gave it an air of reality that made it more terrifying ("This could actually happen, you guys!"), while Gunnar Hansen's Leatherface opened the path for subsequent brutes like Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees.
