Horror Movie Recommendations:

Hi Horror fans!

Don’t know what to watch tonight? Looking for a solid list of horror movie suggestions? or a list of good horror movies? or maybe you just want to make sure that you know your classics? Well done, you’ve come to the right place, everything is here!

These horror movie suggestions do not intend to list all the good horror movies around, it would be too subjective anyway, and somehow pointless. Instead, this list compiles movies we liked, and that we think every horror fans should see sometimes in their lifetime. By doing this, we hope to give you ideas for new horror movies to watch or introduce you to a new area of horror that you haven’t explored yet.

This list is mean to be criticized and will be modified as our ideas change. Feel free to comment on this, or send us your own horror movies recommendation!
