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.

There are plenty of Killer Animal movies out there that play on our fear of dogs, bears, spiders, sharks, etc.. and most of them tend to be B-movie cheese-fests. Even some of the "Good" ones aren't necessarily great movies, but they still manage to be effective somehow. Probably because animals, big or small, can be terrifying.

Below, you'll find the Killer Animal flicks that work best for us; some are intense, some are creepy, some are funny, while most of them are just plain old fun.

For the first 6 movies in the list:

If you're in the mood for a truly quality Killer Animal flick, any of the movies in our Top Six will do you right. For our money, Cujo and Jaws are probably the best of them, but then again they all bring their own unique and terrifying vision to the Killer Animal Sub-Genre, so enjoy them all!

For the remaining:

Below are the rest of our 30 Best Killer Animal flicks, 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".

The best worst horror movies make these “awesomely terrible” lists for a good number of reasons, not least of all because many of them involve plots that are so implausible as to be laughable. Others feature so many horror movie tropes and predictable dialogue that the movie itself is hardly worth watching — though that doesn’t stop horror fanatics looking for an easy, enjoyable way to spend their night.
