The Best Horror Films of the Year Since 1920!
Taste is a totally subjective thing. What one person likes, another person can easily hate. But I think we can all agree that there are classics that must be respected for what they brought to the horror genre, whether it be advancements in technology (King Kong), notoriety (Cannibal Holocaust), or even the occasional critical acclaim (The Silence of the Lambs).
Throughout the years, horror has come to us in many different forms. From monsters to demonic entities, mental illnesses to vicious psychopathic murderers. But one thing is certain: Since movies started, there’s always been a fascination with horror and the macabre.
Imgur user ScreamingVegetable has compiled a list of the “Best Horror Films by Year” since 1920. As I mentioned above, taste is a subjective thing and ScreamingVegetable’s list doesn’t seem to be based on anything specific but more so on personal taste. While I don’t agree with every year, I do love the effort and obvious passion put here.
Check out the full list below and let us know which years and movies you’d swap out!
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
