Horror Worth Watching
As an avid long-time horror fan. I have listed some of my favorite movies on this list. These include classics that I have and continue to rewatch from time to time that hold up to repeated viewing. You will find most of these movies are supernatural, thrillers, classis, scifi or lovecraftian in theme. Few, if any, are slashers or movies which simply focus on violence and gore.
