Horror can be gorily diced into so many subgenres and we've got them all here. The below list of the best horror films of all time includes stone-cold classics of the 20th century as well as plenty of 21st-century nightmares. Carving decades of horror into a digestible list of only 30 films has been a serious challenge but we're happy with the results.
