Top 6 Favorite Horror Movies

Recently, I’ve been watching a bunch of YouTube videos ranking the TOP 100 SCARIEST (or “best” or whatever superlative they wanna use) HORROR FILMS OF ALL TIME.” As a casual fan of the genre, I was intrigued. But imagine my horror when I discovered these creators’ picks deviated from my own. Gasp!

So to rectify that, here’s a list of my favorite horror movies, in no particular order, for this moment in time.

NOTE: By “favorites,” I mean these are “go-to” movies that I not only love but also find easy to re-watch (relatively speaking, it’s still horror after all). These guys never ruin my day, keep me from sleeping, or make me want to douse my soul in Lysol.

Don’t worry, I have a different list for those.

The Menu (2022) / Ready or Not (2019) / The Shining (1980) / Saw II (2005) / The Most Dangerous Game (1932) / The Substance (2024)
