Best horror movies from the 20th century
Below is a list that will constantly be refilled as soon as I have seen a new film. Horror movies that entertain me is usually about demons / exorcism, hauntings, ghosts and revenge and takes place in either our time or in like the 1920s. I also like twisted endings or a little touch of a psychological theame. I don't like gore or bloody films that much, so if you want a list of those kind of movies, please find another list :)
I also have another list, for those who like horror films from the 19th century :) Enjoy!
