The 15 Best Gothic Horror Movies of All Time

"Gothic cinema is soaked in a rich heritage rooted in the florid, lurid Gothic literature of the 18th and 19th centuries. At that time, spiritualism was thick in the air, séances were respectable social events, and religion was outstripping science in its investigations of the metaphysical. The literature that emerged, and the films that followed, bear the definite stamp of this era.
Whether in print or on film, the Gothic tradition is beloved for its ability to conjure in its devotees a pleasing mixture of wonder and terror. Its style provides us with an uneasy escapism by planting our feet in reality before inviting suspension of disbelief through explorations of the mysterious and the horrific. Though supernatural elements are often found in Gothic films they are not mandatory, and when they are present an explanation may or may not be given."
