r/horror on Reddit: What are some classic horror movies that I must see as a horror fan?
November 5, 2023 -

So I’m a lifelong horror fan, my first horror movie was 1408 when I was 9 (I’m now 24), but I’ve mostly stuck to watching newer horror that has come out. I’ve watched a few classic horror movies and have tried to watch a few more but didn’t finish, but there are still a ton I haven’t seen.

What classic horror movies would you guys recommend I watch that would give me a good, well rounded watchlist in this genre? I’m thinking of making a list of 10-15.

Classics I’ve watched:

-The Exorcist Trilogy -The Thing -Scream movies -Pet Semetary -The Blair Witch Project
