If you remember around this time two years ago here on SuperMarcey.com, I wrote up a top 50 list of what considered to be the greatest shots in horror films (which you can check out here). I received a lot of positive feedback for that article, which was really good because it was one of my favourite articles that I’ve done (it even inspired SuperMarcey herself to do not one but two articles of her favourite horror film shots as well, which you can check out here and here). I had such a fun time putting together that list so much, that I decided that I was going to do a follow-up article of some more shots that I love from horror films. Originally I was going to write-up this new list last year but since I was so busy during October 2013, that I didn’t have the time to work on it. So I figured that I would do it this year instead (hey, better late than never). This list has some more great shots from horror films that, like the ones from my first article, I personally found to be either iconic, beautiful, disturbing, breathtaking, chilling and, of course, scary. Whether they are a simple well crafted shot on its own or as part of a truly memorable scene. But one thing I do know for certain, and hopefully you’ll also agree with me, is that each film’s director and cinematographer created a shot that instantly burned into our memories. I must warn that this list does contains images that could be considered either spoilers or NSFW. Enjoy!
