Let's create a list of our favorite horror movies based on how good they are! Consider factors like rewatchability, story quality, and overall effectiveness. This list should focus on how well the movies hold up today, considering them at face value, not on their legacy or influence on the genre.
Here's how it works:
Comment below with your nomination for your favorite horror movie of the year in the title. Do not comment duplicate movie titles. If your favorite movie has already been mentioned, simply upvote that comment instead. Note: Release dates will be based on when a film has its theatrical release (US), not whenever it premiered at festivals. So for example, the winner of 2023 was Talk to Me, which premiered in October 2022, but didn't get a wide release until July 2023. This list will use the latter date.
Upvote the movie title(s) you agree with.
The single comment with the most upvotes will be crowned the unanimous favorite for the current letter. If a movie title is posted multiple times, only the comment with the most upvotes will be counted. This prevents users from influencing the results by upvoting multiple comments for the same movie.
So let's have it, what're your favorite movies of the year in the title?

I only truly enjoyed RAW and The Blackcoat's Daughter. I really pondered over those more than anything else and rewatched them 3 times each. There are other good ones, but those two are the highlights IMO.
Get Out...no, Shreddy I do not care that you don't think it's not horror. I added that last bit because he will no doubt show up and need to but his two cents in.
