Carrie is a horror movie? I just thought it was a coming of age story 😮
I think the babadook, it follows and ju-on, audition should be included and leave out get out, cabin in the wood and the conjuring
I feel like some of the classics should of been higher because of what they did for the genre. I also understand why It wasn’t on the list even though I felt personally it should be. I also understand why Get Out is listed
Anybody wants to read about my day at school?
Eh maybe tomorrow?
No Amitiville Horror or The Grudge?
Would have been better if you had said something about all of them not just said alot of movie names with no explanation why their in the list??? Feel slightly cheated!
Texas is also based off of a true story
The Thing is too low.
They have pennywise in the thumbnail but they don´t have it in the list
Ikr
Where is it
Can someone comment the list so I don’t have to watch the whole thing?
Here we go…(unzips brain) LETS DO THIS!!!!!!
no timestamps?
Some great picks, but overall a very disappointing top 50. You guys lack insight. 'The Mummy' instead of 'Frankenstein' or 'Bride of Frankenstein'? No Fulci? No Vincent Price? No Cannibal Holocaust (instead of REC or BWP)? No psychological Horror like 'Repulsion', 'Possession' or 'Don't Look Now'? No 'Burnt Offerings' or 'The Innocents'? You guys really think 'The Conjuring' is a more influential haunted house movie? And what about (other) non-US flicks like Torso, Let The Right One in, Kwaidan? And i really liked 'The Witch', but isn't Russell's 'The Devils' far more influential? And what about the French new wave of horror? Martyrs, 'Livide'? And where are the werewolf flicks? And is 'Shaun of the Dead' a more influential horror comedy than Jackson's 'Braindead'?
I don't think horror buffs will really like this list.
I wouldn't call Get Out a horror film, more of a Psychological Thriller with Horror elements, but not full Horror.
You should watch infamousvidz
WatchMojo megalist
i feel like the blair witch should of been at least top 10
NOOO. PENNYWISE
Honestly the 2017 IT shouldve been somewhere on here.
Top 50 Superhero Movies
More Top 50s please!
love it except for u should have the Asian version of the eye great movie!
My only question is where was Universal's Frankenstein?!
We’re is IT?
No “American Werewolf In London” or “The Descent”, but “Get Out” is on the list? I’ll agree with most everything on the list and even though I don’t agree how far down the list “Silence Of The Lambs” is, it’s a solid line up, but I would still put “IT” on the list before “Get Out”…
Thank ya, WatchMojo.
no honorable mentions?
Scream is more influential than Nosferatu? Is this a joke?
Really solid list, though I think The Sixth Sense should replace The Conjuring, Gremlins should replace Child's Play, and Jacob's Ladder should be on there somewhere.
When I first saw this I thought it said top ten, then I realized it said top 50. And then I said get a snicker where going to be here a while.
Well well well 40 minutes….hmph don't mind if I do
On the Carrie commentary you misnamed the coach. It isn't Ms. Collins but Rita Disjardin. I may have misspelled it but you guys got it all wrong.
If you're doing a list called most INFLUENTIAL horror movies, you fail when your first movie is from this year. Anything that recent has had no time to have an INFLUENCE on culture or future horror movies. If you wanted to do a list of 50 BEST horror movies you could easily argue for recent films such as Get Out, but for the list as it stands you've failed at the very first pick.
#47 was quick
Scariest movie ever, next to The Exorcist, is Salem's Lot. To this day it chills my blood to even think about it.
