When the holiday season begins, so does the endless stream of nostalgic Christmas movies. Some people look forward to watching classics like \u201cA Miracle On 34th Street\u201d or \u201cIt\u2019s A Wonderful Life\u201d as much as they do unwrapping presents under the tree.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Time\"Halloween is no different, except instead of family-friendly fare about yuletide cheer, All Hallow\u2019s Eve is precluded by a month of cable channel slasher marathons and strategic theatrical releases. But horror movies are bigger than October<\/a>; these films are relevant <\/span>year round, with a globe-spanning fandom and hundred-million dollar franchises<\/a>. In fact, interest in horror movies has grown steadily over the past few decades, with box office gross from the genre nearly doubling from a 2.79 percent<\/a> market share in 1995 to 5.14 percent<\/a> in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether laughably bad<\/a> or genuinely thought-provoking<\/a>, horror movies are designed to do one thing: scare audiences. PrettyFamous<\/a>, a research entertainment site powered by Graphiq<\/a>, compiled this list of the greatest horror films of all time.<\/span><\/p>\n

To qualify for the list, movies had to have at least 25,000 IMDb votes and a genre classification of \u201chorror.\u201d Movies were then ranked based on their Smart Rating: a score out of 100 that takes into account a movie\u2019s Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer and Audience Score, IMDb rating, Metacritic Metascore, Gracenote rating and the domestic inflation-adjusted box office gross. The movies are ranked from lowest to highest Smart Rating, with the best horror movie taking the No. 1 spot. When ties occur, the films are ordered by their inflation-adjusted box office gross and then by alphabetic order.<\/span><\/p>\n

From \u201cPan\u2019s Labyrinth<\/a>\u201d to \u201cBride of Frankenstein<\/a>,\u201d take a look and see where your gore-filled faves rank on the list.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
