While 2020 has still been a year for watching horror movies (while seemingly trapped in one), it’s been more of an opportunity to catch-up on previously released films in the comfort of our homes and less about checking out new offerings at the local multiplex. Which is why our Top 15 Horror Movies of 2020 consists of films watched for the first time in 2020, and not merely films released in the past year.
How many horror films did you watch for the first time in 2020? What would your Top 15 look like? Our lists are below, with movies listed alphabetically.
