How is the "best horror movies" list ranked?

By a weighted rating — the same idea behind IMDb and TMDB top-rated lists. It blends each film's average rating with its number of votes, so widely-loved classics rise above films with very few (but very high) ratings.

Does this include foreign-language horror movies?

Yes. The best-of lists include films in any language, so acclaimed international horror movies can make the cut alongside English-language titles.

Is it free to make a poll from this list?

Yes. Tap "Use This Template" to start a poll pre-loaded with these picks, share the link, and let your group vote — no account needed to vote.

The best horror movies

From slow-burn dread to jump-scare chaos — the genre built for a crowd. These are the best horror movies ever made, ranked by a weighted score that balances how highly a film is rated against how many people rated it — so a true classic beats an obscure title with a handful of perfect votes. Right now that includes Psycho, The Shining and Alien. Pick your contenders and launch a poll in a tap.
