If you remember around this time last year and as well as back in 2012 on SuperMarcey.com, I wrote up two separate top 50 list articles of what considered to be the greatest shots in horror films (which you can check them both out here and here). To my surprise both lists received quite a lot of positive feedback from everyone who had read them, which is I really appreciate. It was a lot of fun putting those lists together and I’m glad to hear that you all enjoyed them as well. Based on the response to those lists, So I decided this year once again to make another one containing some of my all time favourite horror film shots. Just like the previous lists, this one also has some great shots from horror films that 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!
