Top 25 Horror Movies
From silent vampires to animated murders, from sharks that won't die to a love story set amid a zombie takeover, more than a century's worth of big-screen scares
It wasn't the story, of careless love and an evil woman who gets a transformative comeuppance, that terrified audiences. It was the use of actual human oddities: the Siamese twins, the "pinhead," the armless, legless man and a whole sideshow of nature's misfits. And they're the heroes! Tod Browning had directed many films in the grotesque genre (including the Lugosi Dracula and 10 films with Lon Chaney), but this is the one that still raises shudders — not because its horrors are artful, but because they are real.
