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.

A curated list from the official Universal Classic Collection, Classic Monster Collection. Legacy Collection, and the Essential and Complete Collections. While there are many universal horror and thriller films, these are the official canonized monster films promoted by the studio.

This is a tough list, its meant to be Halloween and Halloween-related movies, movies are good to watch at Halloween but that doesn't mean all horror movies. I edit it a lot, I add movies and take them away, I have yet to find the right system to decide what qualifies. If you want a horror movie list, search for one, this is not that. Some of the characteristics I think make a Halloween movie are monsters and ghosts.

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.
