Let’s create a list of our favorite horror movies based on how good they are! Consider factors like rewatchability, story quality, and overall effectiveness. This list should focus on how well the movies hold up today, considering them at face value, not on their legacy or influence on the genre.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Comment below with your nomination for your favorite horror movie of the year in the title. Do not comment duplicate movie titles. If your favorite movie has already been mentioned, simply upvote that comment instead. UPDATE – Note: Going forward, for clarification on what year something came out, check imdb or letterboxd. Whatever the year of release is on those sites is what we’ll go with. Previously the rule was when a film got its wide release, but as we go further back in years that’s becoming more confusing than helpful. Thank you to everyone for your participation and suggestions on how to optimize this exercise!
  2. Upvote the movie title(s) you agree with.
  3. The single comment with the most upvotes will be crowned the unanimous favorite for the current letter. If a movie title is posted multiple times, only the comment with the most upvotes will be counted. This prevents users from influencing the results by upvoting multiple comments for the same movie.

Note: instead of having an incredibly long list of winners/runners up, going forward I’m going to link to the last post for the last decade and then start a new list for the next decade. Thanks again for all the interactions with these posts. I love having these lists and have gotten some great recommendations out of the comments, even if those movies haven’t won!

So let’s have it, what’re your favorite movies of the year in the title?
