The Best Horror Movies of All Time »
We’ve only been publishing BestHorror.com since May of this year, but we’ve tried to be consistent. Our blog isn’t hugely popular yet, but we do get visitors. I thought it would be fun to have a quick review of our most popular posts so far. We’ll start posting regularly again next week, after taking about a week off as a break. Anyway, here’s the best of BestHorror.com, so far:
- Top Ten French Horror Films – Before launching and writing this blog, I had no idea that French horror movies were so popular. But this is our most popular single post on the site.
- Top Ten Horror Movies of the 2000′s – This is one of those posts that’s obviously going to be good for a sequel post, as we continue to see new horror movies in the 2000′s. But it’s hard to imagine that the movie industry is going to top Let the Right One In and Cloverfield. Especially since they seem content to churn out remake after remake.
- Top Ten Most Underrated Horror Movies – There are some real gems on this list. Of particular interest is the movie Cube, which is only horrific if you think about it.
- Top Ten Highest Grossing Horror Movies – People love box office figures, so here are the top box office grossing horror films of all time. It’s interesting to me that six of these movies are from the 1970s, and the other four were from right around the turn of the century.
- Top Ten Bestselling Horror Books on Amazon – Talk about a portrait of a time period. Four of the top ten horror books on Amazon at the time of this post’s writing were Charlaine Harris novels, which I can guarantee will be completely forgotten ten years from now. World War Z and The Graveyard Book will be remembered for a long time though, I think.
- Top Ten Zombie Novels – I’m surprised this post wasn’t more popular. I had a different writer working on the site at that time, so maybe the list didn’t accurately reflect the best zombie novels available? Looks like the author of that post left out Cell by Stephen King and Infected by Scott Sigler. Maybe it’s time for a new list?
- Top Ten Vincent Price Movies – Seeing this in our top ten most visited posts fills my heart with glee. In this era of uninspired remakes, it’s easy to think that the younger generation has forgotten the genius that is Vincent Price.
- Top Ten Stephen King Short Stories – This is another list we’re really proud of. Luckily, Stephen King has written enough short stories that we could easily create two or three sequels to this post.
- Top Ten H.P. Lovecraft Stories – If you haven’t read any H.P. Lovecraft yet, then you could do worse than to start with some of these stories. This one was written by someone else, which explains the glaring absence of “The Colour Out of Space”.
- Top Ten Stephen King Novels – A pretty good list, placing Salems Lot where it belongs, right at the top of the list. It might be fun sometime to write a “worst Stephen King novels” post.
The best horror lists will begin again on Monday, so be prepared. And if you want to discuss any of the above articles, or anything else related to horror, please visit our sister site, the Horror Forum. We have subforums dedicated to Stephen King and H.P. Lovecraft there, among other things. The Stephen King forum is pretty quiet, in fact, so come help us out and start discussing some Stephen King stuff with us.
