This list is no longer updated as changes made to the way lists are editable on the site makes it impossible to place titles where they belong on the list. The complete/ongoing list lives on over at Letterboxed and lists over 1500 titles.

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.

Pretty complete list with over 2,000 entries. All are in alphabetical order, order of release or to be watch in a sequence as part of the so called "universe", like for instance the Conjuring-universe, or part of an anthology or serie. Anything missing or to add, please let me know.

Here is an exhaustive list of Universal Monster Movies including the new Universal Monster Universe. I will be adding more of those as they are released. If you feel that there is something missing, feel free to suggest an addition. I realize Dracula '92, Frankenstein '94 and Gods and Monsters '98 are not Universal properties but I feel they are closely related and relevant.

Universal Horror or Universal Monsters - phrases used to describe the horror, suspense and science fiction films made by Universal Studios during the 1920s - 1950s.
Horror/Monster franchises include: Phantom of the Opera, Dracula, Frankenstein, Edgar Allan Poe, Mummy, Invisible Man, Werewolf / Wolf Man, Paula, the Ape Woman / Gorilla Girl, Inner Sanctum Mysteries, Creeper, Abbott & Costello, Gill Man / Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Universal has plans for rebooting the franchise. Starting with The Mummy (2019) as an origin story. [Though Dracula Untold (2016) was first and also an origin story, it is downplayed as the restart and said not part of Dark Universe canon). The new reboot Monster franchises include Creature from the Black Lagoon, Dracula, Frankenstein, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Invisible Man, and Phantom of the Opera. As of late 2017, those plans seem to have stalled.

These movies and series contain at least one typical sci-fi element like advanced / futuristic science or technology (for the era that movie/series takes place), space exploration, time travel, parallel universes or extratrerrestial life.
This list contains all movies of Universal Picture's classic monster line.
From the era of silent movies through present day, Universal Pictures has been regarded as the home of the monsters.
