The 1970s were a true before and after for the horror genre, with the decade producing several revolutionary classics like The Exorcist and Halloween.

Jump scares and gore might not seem like the most soothing watching, but scary films can actually be the ideal therapy during anxious times.

One Stephen King adaptation hit it out the park (“The Monkey”) in 2025, while this one – which King published in 1979 under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman – should’ve never gotten into the game. Failing at the fundamentals, from simple dialogue to character development to shot selection, this bore of a film should’ve been called “The Long Watch.”

Two decades after its release, the influential horror film Saw is trending on streaming charts right in time for Halloween.

The scariest movie of 2025 has been found through scientific means, and it’s a choice we wholeheartedly agree with.

John Carpenter was one of several filmmakers whose work directly inspired this acclaimed 2024 horror movie, so it's surprising to hear he really didn't like it.

And here are 10 other titles that almost made the list, but I think you’ll just enjoy reading: The Mad Hatter, Sky Monster, The Ouija Exorcism, Planet Raptor, Scarecrow Country, Red Water, The Shasta Triangle, Cinderella’s Curse, House of Elm Lake, and of course, Some Guy Who Kills People.
