Letterboxd's Top 250 Horror Films

An accompaniment to the Letterboxd Top 250, which sadly contains very few horror films. These are the horror films on Letterboxd with the highest average rating.

Extracted from here.

No shorts, no TV series, no TV movies, no YouTube videos, no filmed stage productions, no reissues, no re-edits of existing footage, no trailer compilations, no student films, no lost movies, no music videos / visual albums, no behind-the-scenes documentaries, nor anything else that isn't really a full film. All entries must be at least 40 minutes in length. Direct-to-video releases are eligible, provided they are over 60 minutes in length.

To ensure this list isn't filled with films with very few ratings, this only includes films rated by at least…
