Halloween weekend is here, and that means one thing: it’s time to dim the lights, grab some popcorn, and scare yourself silly with a good old-fashioned horror marathon.
But before you stick to the usual The Shining, Psycho, or Halloween, film critics over at Rotten Tomatoes have released their definitive ranking of the Top 200 horror films, and the top ten choices might surprise you.
The ranking, which combines critical reviews, audience scores, and long-term impact, offers a fresh take on what truly defines a great horror movie. While many expected classics like The Exorcist or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to dominate the top spots, the results were far from predictable.
In fact, both The Shining and Psycho failed to break into the top ten, leaving room for a mix of modern horror hits and lesser-known cult favourites.
Here’s the official Rotten Tomatoes Top 10 Scary Movies of all time:
Rotten Tomatoes’ updated list shows a shift toward psychological horror, where atmosphere, storytelling, and emotion take centre stage over traditional gore.
Modern audiences, it seems, crave scares that linger in the mind long after the credits roll, and these ten films prove that horror isn’t just about monsters and jump scares, but also about exploring our deepest fears.
So, whether you prefer your horror supernatural, psychological, or just plain disturbing, this list has something to keep you up all night.
Happy Halloween, and don’t forget to keep the lights on. 💀
