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.

One of my favorite horror sub-genres, folk horror, is usually slower and more atmospheric than typical horror films. Focused more on pagan ideology, witchcraft, nature, or the occult, and usually located in the woods or rural countryside, folk horror brings a distinctly different flavor to such a rich genre. If you’re new to folk-horror, The Unholy Trinity (The Blood on Satan’s Claw, The Witchfinder General, The Wicker Man) is the best place to start as they are three of the earliest and best. These films are not always as outright terrifying as other horror movies that are all about the scares, but they have a way of burrowing under your skin with their unassuming, almost pleasant facades—picturesque countrysides, friendly towsfolk, quaint lifestyles—but are always hiding something more sinister underneath...

She's "The Mistress of the Dark," and our most popular horror hostess in recent memory. Cassandra Peterson played the spunky goth Elvira hosting "Elvira's Movie Macabre," a late-night B-movie show running from 1981-86 with a couple sporadic revivals. Her bubbly wit serves the perfect counterpoint to campy horror gore, making her an unforgettable part of horror culture.
