Unexplained Rankings – Horror Flicks

I know it’s been 8 months since I have put anything on this site, but I got lazy, and then there was a hurricane, and then I got forgetful. But I’m back, baby! It’s almost time for the 3rd annual bracket to kick off next week. I am super excited and hope you all are as well. To get back into the swing of writering, I’m just going to rank things sometimes. No reasoning beyond “This is a thing I like more than this other thing”. Up first – horror movies.  

A friend at work asked where I would rank John Carpenter’s The Thing and I said definitely not top 5, but maybe top 10. That’s how this whole thing started. Next thing I knew, I was 40+ movies deep. The lunch break today was…well…different.

There were six films that I have not seen yet, but have heard great things about and they very well could have ended up on this list. Those six are:

The VVitch
Cabin in the Woods
It Comes at Night
Raw
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
Black Sunday

With that said, here is the list. If it was a series of movies (like The Conjuring films, I just counted them as a whole). Let’s argue about rankings and what I forgot in the comments!
