Anyone who’s seen the popular game show knows the drill: the question takes the form of an answer, and the answer takes the form of a question. A tad gimmicky perhaps, but it’s kept this machine running in daily syndication for 37 seasons straight—and that doesn’t include previous iterations, which ran for years at a time and didn’t feature Alex Trebek as host. Nowadays, one can’t imagine the show without him. While digging through the “Jeopardy” archives in search of choice clues, Stacker uncovered a few blatant trends. One is that Alex Trebek isn’t necessarily the world’s biggest horror fan. When the category “Scary Movie Sequels” appeared on the board, Trebek exclaimed, “Aren’t they all?!” He might have a point, but it still hurts. Another conspicuous trend? The show’s writers are definitely partial to two specific musical horror comedies. The films won’t be named just yet, and for obvious reasons, but here’s a hint: One is about a deadly plant, and the other still draws an occasional midnight crowd. Throughout numerous years and episodes, these two titles pop up over and over...and over and over again. As a result, one might safely deduce that Trebek and his team aren’t exactly catching up on the “Hostel” franchise during their off-hours. Nitpicking aside, “Jeopardy!” has provided a fairly impressive overview of classic horror cinema by way of its categories and clues. From retro bone-chillers to recent blood-curdlers to everything in between, most of history’s biggest horror flicks have made their way onto that blue game board. Numerous contestants have put their skills to the test, and now it’s your turn. Get your brain pumped and your buzzers ready, and throw something scary on while you’re at it. ‘Tis the season, after all.

While horror films are often deemed a lower cultural form of filmmaking, they have been popular mainstays all the way back to the Golden Age of Hollywood, when Universal Pictures made a series of celebrated monster movies that audiences still love today. Stacker compiled data on horror films from They Shoot Zombies, Don't They?, a horror-centric site that has weighed and aggregated rankings from over 2,900 editorial lists to create the most definitive ranking of horror movies. From there, Stacker ranked the top 100 American films on the list. Nearly 7,900 films were considered in total. IMDb user ratings and Metascores are presented for popular and critical context. The list represents data gathered through May 2020. Whether it's the postmodern 1990s film that brought the slasher subgenre back to life or a silent film from the genre's earliest days, these movies speak to those who love horror. Fans of horror are loyal and dedicated—they love the jump scares, the camaraderie of watching a film with other fans, and the sheer adrenaline rush of being scared to death in the darkened confines of movie theaters and living rooms. While only six horror films have been nominated for the Best Picture Oscar and only one has actually won it, the genre is an important one. Zombies, vampires, aliens, monsters, and werewolves continue to hold a place in both the American psyche and heart. They terrify and delight viewers who continue to come back for more. For over a century, they have brought us the most deliciously amazing nightmares. What's your favorite scary movie? Perhaps it made Stacker's list.

The spine-tingling genre has been a mainstay of cinema ever since, delivering groundbreaking special effects, gory motifs, and subtext galore. But no matter what form scary movies take, their ability to serve as cathartic, thrilling outlets for primal fears and insecurities is what keeps fans coming back for more. Even with movie theaters largely shuttered due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there are lots of different kinds of horror films available on streaming and demand to satisfy your spooky needs. Why not become better acquainted with internationally acclaimed subgenres like jidaigeki or giallo? While some acclaimed films (such as the crime drama “Se7en” or adventure blockbuster “Jurassic Park”) may not seem like horror flicks at first glance, they contain many elements that make the genre itself so memorable. But with so many films out there, it can be difficult to find the best type of horror movie for each kind of film fan. That’s why Stacker compiled data on horror films using the horror-centric site They Shoot Zombies, Don’t They?, which has weighed and aggregated rankings from more than 2,900 editorial lists to determine the definitive ranking of the top 1,000 horror films as of May 2020. Using this data, Stacker amassed a list of the top films in each subgenre of horror displayed on the website. All of the films displayed are feature-length, with the exception of “Un Chien Andalou,” an experimental surrealist classic by Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñel. Nearly 7,900 movies in total were considered, and IMDb ratings and Metascores were included for critical and popular context. So hold on to the edge of your seat, and read on to find the best kinds of horror movies for any viewer—from science fiction to slasher films.
