The following list[s] of films are from my ever growing personal "horror" movie collection. This is only a partial list as I have not included any "horror" movies
pre-1960.

Just for the record, this is a very broad list...it includes many "sub-genre's" and "cousins" of "horror" ....ie; sci-fi horror, horror comedies, thrillers etc etc...


*FYI,Rating's for Motion Pictures are G, PG, PG 13, R, X & NC 17
** Many VHS OR DVD's have "UNRATED" version of films.
***Some DVD's also label films as "Not Rated"


*If I list a film as "UNRATED/NOT RATED" I am going by what the "DVD" state's and not  the "original theatrical" release.
