Entertainment Weekly's 30+ Best Classic Horror Movies of All Time

"Movies designed to frighten thrill-seekers have been an essential part of cinema since the silent era. Scholars generally agree that horror entered the modern age in 1968, with the release of George Romero's game-changing zombie movie 'Night of the Living Dead.' Directors like John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper, and William Friedkin would go on to construct a more extreme, contemporary style of horror, but none of them would have succeeded without the films featured on this list. Sure, some of them are creaky, old-fashioned chillers — and what's wrong with that? If you dig into the history of horror, you'll find classics that still feel fresh and even shocking, made by filmmakers whose artistry and imagination continue to inspire. Here are EW's picks for the 30 best classic horror movies, listed in chronological order." - ew.com
