A FEAST OF FRIGHTFUL FLICKS WAITING TO BE REDISCOVERED
As the leading name in the world of horror, Fangoria magazine has been the source of information for fans of fright flicks for more than twenty years—covering feature films, video games, comic books, collectibles, and all aspects of horror entertainment. Working closely with Fangoria’s experts, including Editor in Chief Anthony Timpone, Adam Lukeman has compiled a must-have guide for casual horror fans and hardcore horror junkies with Fangoria’s 101 Best Horror Films You’ve Never Seen.
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.

Movies and series mentioned in a forum thread on Yog-Sothoth
Contemporary fears, remakes and some might even say, a reinterpretation of the genre in the later half of the decade.

Le Reste...
Movies and shorts based on the works of HP Lovecraft (some only loosely), have Lovecraftian themes or strong references to Lovecraft or are clearly Lovecraft inspired.
Some might be fringe cases and not considered Lovecraftian by purists but are included because the atmosphere is suggestive of Lovecraft's work, there are clear nods to Lovecraft and in some case it is just because of name dropping or big tentacle monsters.
Missing on Trakt:
- Corpse-O-Rama (2001)
- The Whisperer in Darkness (2007)
- Lovecraft Chronicles (2009 Series)
List of some great Horror Anthology movies
Movies either based directly on Lovecraft or in a Lovecraftian vein.
Horror movies I hear about during the year. I collect them and watch them all during October.
Without a doubt, the #1 curated list of all H.P. Lovecraftian cinema! It's organized from hits to lesser hits to "your desperate for another film from this genre and will take anything". ;) I've left off any piece that is deemed too low budget, lacks other-wordly beings, or is just plain boring.
Message me if you can think of a movie that is not on the list that you think should be. :)
