Upcoming and plan to watch
Anthology Films, especially in the Horror Genre, can be a mixed bag at best. When done right, they give you an assortment of terrifying tales that mess with your mind in different ways, that usually come in short, concentrated bursts. When done wrong however, they can feel like they're nothing more than a bunch of half-assed stories that have been randomly thrown together, just for the sake of it.
Some Horror Anthologies are great from start to finish (like Trick 'r Treat), while others are great because they boast one or two truly fantastic segments (like the clown story in Amusement.) Either way though, they all offer something for those of us who crave compelling short stories, and all are worthy of our attention.
For the first 6 movies in the list:
If you're in the mood for a truly quality Horror Anthology, any of the movies in our Top Six will do you right. For us, Trick 'r Treat is the best of them, but they all bring their own unique and terrifying vision to the Anthology Sub-Genre.
For the remaining entries:
Below are the rest of our 30 Best Horror Anthologies, and of course, a few Honorable Mentions thrown in for good measure. Keep in mind that no "Best of" list is ever perfect, but merely a solid starting point for anyone looking to watch some great flicks.
The last 6 being "Honorable Mentions".

List of some great Horror Anthology movies
Tubi horror. Updated regularly.
Last update: 3/21/2024
The genre survived in the 21st century thanks to the direct to the DVD market, the rise video streaming services and advances in digital filmmaking lowering the costs of making movies.
There was a short return to its exploitation roots, experimenting by new filmmakers, but mostly really bad low budget movies and remakes/reboots. Though there are a few gems to be discovered.
Genre definition: "Definition: A slasher movie is characterized by a villain who is skilled at killing and uses weapons other than firearms to stalk and target a group of young individuals, resulting in a significant number of victims. This villain may be either human or formerly human."
If I missed any movie you think that should be on this list or if you find some obvious mistakes please let me know and I'll make the appropriate adjustments.
Missing on Trakt:
- Texas Vibrator Massacre (2008) (IMDB: tt1225757)
