Horror movies are one of the most sought-after genres of our time.

One of the good options to achieve the desired effect is to watch scary and the best horror movies.
Undoubtedly, the scariest old horror movies keep you in suspense even after the credits. From the very first horror film “The Devil’s Castle,” which was made back in 1896 by the French founder of cinema Georges Méliès, to the latest cinematic innovations, the best horror film directors, makeup artists and special effects producers were constantly improving their skills. Among them were innovators who made shocking horror films, such as Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez – the directors of the acclaimed film The Witch of Blair. This horror feature film is in the form of a first-person documentary. It was shot in 8 days, the budget of the whole picture was only 22000 dollars, while the worldwide receipts surpassed the figure of 240 million. It was even listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most profitable movie ever made. This film still stands apart in the horror film category to this day.
Horror is a peculiar category of cinema, even though it is a sought-after and beloved by moviegoers, film critics are rarely generous with awards and accolades for such films. However, there are exceptions, but only the best horror films are awarded an Oscar. Over the years, such films have won the honorary film award as: “Rosemary’s Baby,” “The Exorcist,” “Omen,” “Alien,” “Misery,” “Silence of the Lambs,” “Dracula,” “Sleepy Hollow” and “Faun’s Labyrinth.” It is impossible not to mention the master of mystification Stephen King and the many brilliant adaptations of his novels: “The Shining” directed by Stanley Kubrick, “Children of the Corn”, “Cemetery of Pets”, “The Skinny”, “Dreamcatcher”, “1408”, “Mist”, “Telekinesis”, “Mobile”. Now you can watch these horror movies online anywhere in the world.
You can watch horror movies online in good quality in large groups, with close friends or with a loved one.

New fans of the genre will have the foresight to schedule a viewing during the daytime, and finding a good horror film with a high rating won’t be too difficult.
