Horror is one of the most readily dismissed genres from critics and film buffs, yet is, arguably, the genre with the most avid and steadfast niche following and remains popular with the general public. With horror films aiming to terrify, spook, shock, disturb, repulse, amuse, entertain and more, it's no wonder the genre is so varied, divisive and controversial.

With so many people ignoring or simply not understanding horror, many great films slip under the radar and are relatively unknown to an audience outside of hardcore horror fans. In order to counteract this and bring awareness to the greatness of the genre, this list was created.

Compiled using 2,614 lists taken from various critics/polls/magazines/books/websites/forums/horror fans, They Shoot Zombies, Don't They? is intended to be the ultimate canonical top 1000 horror list. Spanning several decades, countries and sub-genres, and using lists from a wide range of people and publications, the resulting list is quite a diverse spread and representation of the best of horror.

Some people like jump scares, some people don’t. For those of you who think jump scares are a cheap cop-out, here’s our list of horror movies which prefer to creep up on you gradually, building a cerebral web of intrigue and atmosphere to drag you into their world. Certified to contain no cats jumping out of closets, no startling confrontations with mirrors, and no supposedly dead characters who pop back off the ground.

Everything with a (personal) Plot twist or mind f**k in the middle or at the end I watched!

(Complete personal view) This contains content that surprised me towards the end of the film/series (whatever) with the (for me) unpredictable twist. Sometimes it can also be content which just leaved me with an empty brain alone...

No guarantee for proper arrangement (everything is just a personal opinion)! This list is growing and expanding over time...

Everything "Sci-Fi/Fantasy" related stuff I watched!
