The 1,000 Greatest Horror Films: The Full List

The 1,000 Greatest Horror Films: Introduction | #1-#100 | #101-#200 | #201-#300 | #301-#400 | #401-#500 | #501-#600 | #601-#700 | #701-#800 | #801-#900 | #901-#1000 | Full List | Sources | The 21st Century’s Most Acclaimed Horror Films | Top 50 Directors

Below you shall find a sortable table of the top 1000. For simplicity, the ‘country’ column has been limited to one country except in the case of anthology films. A Google sheet containing all editions of the list, as well as a master list and stats, can be found here. The ‘AllFilms’ tab is a ranked list of every film that appears on at least one list.

Spreadsheet Notes:

– Films with multiple directors will have a maximum of 3 listed, others will generally be the first director listed followed by et al. Films with credited and uncredited directors will only have the credited directors.

– Films with multiple countries will have the country that best represents the film chosen (in some cases this was difficult and I’ve had to just make a decision). The only films with multiple countries are anthology films.

– Only one genre was chosen per film; again I tried to choose the genre that best represents the film or genres that I felt people would be more likely to search for for that particular film (eg, a zombie comedy is just listed as ‘zombie’).
